It's not just a blanket.
No, the Prosleep gravity blanket is not a simple blanket like the ones you're used to.
Based on decades of scientific research , we created an innovative - and completely natural - product that will help you deal with insomnia and stress without medication.
Behind the beneficial properties of the gravity blanket lies the therapy of Deep Tactile Pressure .
Deep Tactile Pressure, although it sounds like a complex concept, is nothing more than the application of constant and uniform pressure to the entire body.
This pressure - according to researchers at Harvard and others - causes a beneficial change in our nervous system: the transition from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic one.
After a few minutes of Deep Tactile Pressure, heart rate drops, the mind stops racing, breathing slows down, and the digestive system returns to full function. The body has already entered a state of rest and restoration.
According to research conducted on people suffering from chronic insomnia, using a gravity blanket for 4 weeks had the following results:
- Reducing the time until they fall asleep.
- Longer sleep duration during the night.
- More energy during the day.
- Reduced symptoms of fatigue.
- Reduced levels of anxiety and depression.
Another study showed that using a gravity blanket reduced blood pressure and pulse oximetry, signs that indicate low stress levels.
More specifically:
- 63% reported feeling less stressed.
- 78% preferred the gravity blanket for stress relief over any other option.
The constant and gentle pressure exerted by the gravity blanket on the body helps the body to naturally increase levels of serotonin, the "happiness" hormone, which is then naturally converted into melatonin, the sleep hormone.
At the same time, the increase in these hormones contributes to the reduction of cortisol, which is responsible for the feeling of fear and anxiety.

For best results, we recommend choosing the individual size, as our blankets are designed for individual use, creating a cocoon that will relieve you of stress.
To give weight to our blankets, we have added specially treated and hypoallergenic glass beads in sand morocco, which are "locked" in cells for perfect weight distribution.
