PHOENIX – Vertically integrated sleep brand Brooklyn Bedding has expanded its sleep accessories product lineup with a hand-knitted, chunky weighted blanket.

The blanket is available in two weights – 10 pounds and 15 pounds – and in two colors, cream and gray. Priced to retail at $199 and $219 depending on weight, the blankets are with an outer shell of polyester jersey knitted fabric. Stuffed with a polyester filling, the blankets’ open knit design helps facilitate airflow.

Weighted blankets have been shown to offer therapeutic results of Deep Touch Therapy (DTP), a type of pressure stimulation that relaxes the parasympathetic nervous system. This type of therapy helps put bodies into ‘rest mode’ and promotes the feeling of calmness and relaxation. Weighted blankets have also been shown to help reduce stress by lowering cortisol levels and increasing serotonin levels.

Available on Brooklyn Bedding’s website, the blankets measure 50 inches by 60 inches.
