Few lifestyle changes can affect everything from your work productivity to your personal style. Luckily we found one that does all that and more…
When we think about being our best selves, we often think of being exhausted at the gym, trying to stick to some impossible diet, or working overtime in hopes of snagging that ever-looming promotion.
What we often don’t think about is something as simple and enjoyable as a better blanket.
Which is a shame. Because the truth is, study after study has shown that a better blanket has a host of positive life effects— from reducing anxiety, to better sleep. Plus unlike other life changes, this one has the added benefit of upgrading your home decor at the same time!
Rather than embarking on a painful journey you’ll eventually give up, we wanted to help our readers get set on the pain-free journey to a more fulfilling, rejuvenating, and enjoyable life. That’s why we put together a list of the 5 ways our favorite weighted blanket from Bearaby will make you a better, healthier, and happier person.
But First…What Is A Bearaby?
If you’ve never heard of the award-winning, anxiety-reducing weighted blanket that is Bearaby, you’ve almost certainly seen it. The ‘chunky knit’ blanket has become a favorite among Instagrammers, as they proudly sport their favorite new couch centerpiece anywhere and everywhere in their home.
And it’s easy to see why. As a Red Dot winner for Product Design, Bearaby’s blankets are both bold and complementary to any setup. Even as the product expands to a variety of eco-friendly and children’s sizes, the signature chunky knit look endures as a fan favorite.
Beyond its looks, Bearaby has also gained traction for its anti-anxiety and sleep effects, as its weighted effect provides soothing Deep Touch Pressure to its host snuggler. Celebrities such as Kristen Bell have endorsed the blanket, as have over 3,000+ positive reviews on the site.
In short, this blanket does it all. And because its design is durable, it’s a gift that continues to give for years on end (we’ve had ours for 3 years and no sign of slowing down). Which is why we’re fond of saying “Once you get a Bearaby, you never go back.”
Now, onto the five ways in which it will make you improve your life and home:
1. The Better You Rest, The Better The Rest (Of Your Life)
Sleep is key to your emotional and mental well-being. In fact, those with chronic insomnia are 10 times more likely to report feeling depressed, have higher signs of irritability, and be vulnerable to stress. While we’re often tempted to power through sleepy days with heaps of coffee and stimulation, the reality is that suppressing your tiredness is never a replacement for a good night’s sleep.
Weighted blankets have been shown to help actually increase sleep quantity and quality. A study by Harvard Health found that those with weighted blankets reported that their insomnia “declined significantly” compared to those using a normal blanket. This increase in sleep quality is associated with increased attention, focus & reaction time, and decreased amount of errors and omissions at work.
In other words, sleep really is the miracle drug when it comes to all things work and life-related, and Bearaby is here to ensure that you actually get to “hit the hay”.
2. Less Anxiety = More Life Enjoyment
Did you know that roughly ⅓ of Americans suffer from anxiety? This can make waking moments stressful and sometimes borderline unbearable. Bearaby weighted blankets produce something known as Deep Touch Pressure to calm our bodies by releasing dopamine (the happy chemical) and serotonin (the calm chemical).
When we develop in the womb, our bodies are conditioned to feel a calming sensation when being hugged or swaddled, and this continues well into our adult lives. With a Bearaby weighted blanket, you can experience this calm while sleeping all night, or simply when fighting the Sunday Scaries on the couch.
3. Sustainable Fabric To Help You and The Planet
More and more, customers are demanding that their products be made in ways that help maintain our precious ecosystem. This can be hard when the cotton and polyester that your blankets are made from are either farmed using water-intensive practices or use harsh chemicals during their production.
Bearaby’s commitment to the environment means both their certified eucalyptus fiber TENCEL™ Lyocell and their OEKO-TEX® long-staple cotton are made in closed loop, fair trade process that uses 90% less water than traditional methods. And their Velvet Napper goes even further, using recycled marine plastic to clean our oceans while providing buttery soft luxury.
Sooth the planet while soothing yourself.
4. Knitted Blankets Mean Cool Sleep, All Year Long
There is nothing as bad as settling down into your bed after a long summer day…only to toss and turn all night because you’re too hot. It’s an extremely common experience, and one that often leads to interrupted sleep as you alternate between hot as a sauna and freezing like it’s winter.
Bearaby’s chunky knitted design means you hold the right amount of heat, while dissipating excess amounts through the blanket’s loops. The perfect mix between a sheet with no weight and a comforter that’s too hot, Bearbay helps your blanket feel as refreshing as the cool side of the pillow.
5. Make Your Apartment Feel Adult-Chic
We all have our favorite embarrassing couch blanket. Maybe it’s the fuzzy Disney princess one we’ve had since we were six years old—or the worn and torn sports blanket we whip out to rep the home team. Which is great! Just not necessarily when you’re hosting friends at your place…
For those times when you have a guest staying over or you’re hosting a dinner party, it can feel appropriate to have a blanket that matches the vibe of your new showpiece couch or carpet. Not something that makes your living room feel like a childhood den.
Bearaby’s award-winning blanket lets you upgrade your adult style while keeping all your childhood comfort. Surprise your friends and have them gush over the weighted blanket they’ve been seeing all over the internet.
Buy it and enjoy—trust us, your living room will thank us.
