How do I wash my weighted blanket?

Tumble dry on a low-heat setting. You may need to run your dryer for more than one cycle to complete the drying.
What is the return policy?
Once you receive your blanket, you have 14 Nights to try it out.
The Gravid Weighted Blanket uses deep touch pressure stimulation to help you relax and drift to sleep. However, it can take some time for your body to completely adjust to your new weighted blanket.
We recommend that you ease into it by using it a few hours at a time (while watching TV, reading a book, etc...) before using it for a full nights rest.
We highly recommend you sleep with it for at least 7 nights to give your body a chance to adjust. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the item, ship it back to us and we'll refund you 100% of your purchase price.

What are the key benefits of using a weighted blanket?
Improves Sleep Quality: The pressure from the weighted blanket helps those who have trouble falling asleep. It enhances the feeling of being hugged or held, which increases serotonin and melatonin levels while decreasing cortisol levels, thereby improving overall sleep quality.
Anxiety and Stress Relief: The deep touch pressure provided by weighted blankets offers a calming effect similar to a warm hug, which can reduce anxiety and stress at bedtime or any time relaxation is needed.
Enhances Mood: Poor sleep impairs health, memory, mood, and more. By increasing serotonin levels, weighted blankets can improve mood and promote a sense of well-being and better sleep.
Supports Deep REM Sleep: The comforting pressure encourages deeper REM sleep cycles, ensuring more restorative sleep.
Eases Restlessness: For individuals who experience restless leg syndrome or general restlessness at night, the blanket’s weight can provide a soothing, grounding effect.
