If you’ve ever done a Google search for how to get better sleep, you’ve probably come across articles touting the benefits of weighted blankets.
I’ve experienced my fair share of restless nights, so—after a particularly bad stretch—I decided to finally give a weighted blanket a try. I’m glad I quickly stumbled upon the Hush's collection of weighted blankets, which are specifically designed to help with anxiety and stress.
Here are 5 things about Hush Weighted Blankets that I think make it stand out from the crowd:
It Will Calm You Immediately
Here’s the thing: high-quality sleep isn’t a luxury; it’s vital to your wellbeing.
Weighted blankets help mimic a therapeutic technique called Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) that can decrease anxiety and induce a sense of calm by relaxing your nervous system. DPS also reduces cortisol levels, which can help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and feel more recharged when you wake up in the morning.
Hush Blankets are exclusively made of high-quality fabric with pockets of non-toxic glass sand that are evenly distributed to add weight across your body without sagging.
Since getting my own Classic Weighted Blanket, I feel calmer and cooler almost immediately after slipping under the covers!
Choose Between Premium Warming or Cooling Material
When you choose a Hush Weighted Blanket, you get to decide between the Classic Weighted Blanket—a super plush hug-like experience that's ideal for cold sleepers, and the Iced Cooling Weighted Blanket—designed to wick moisture from the skin and keep you from overheating.
I chose the Classic Weighted Blanket because I tend to run a little colder than most, but if you're a hot sleeper, the Iced Cooling Weighted Blanket is absolutely for you. It's made from viscose bamboo fabric, a luxurious organic material with natural cooling and moisture-wicking properties.
The Pricing Won’t Make You Cringe
If you’ve ever been shocked by comforters that cost upwards of $500, you’ll be happy to know that, even with its high-quality materials and thoughtful design, the Hush Weighted Blanket price tag won’t make your eyes water.
In fact, both the Classic Weighted Blanket and the Hush Iced Cooling Weighted Blanket come in many different sizes, ranging from twin to king with various weight options— and I think it’s well worth the investment in quality materials that will last to provide restful sleep for years to come.
It’s Completely Washable
A Hush Weighted Blanket comes in two parts: a cover that can be easily removed and tossed in the washing machine, and a weighted insert that won’t need frequent washing.
Hush recommends hanging the cover to dry or tumble drying it on a low setting. The cover’s fabric also naturally resists wrinkles and gets softer with every wash.
Even though the weighted insert won’t need frequent washing, you can still wash it by hand and lay it flat to air dry when needed.
It’s Majorly Customizable
Hush Weighted Blankets are available in 4 sizes (ranging from Teen to Standard King) and comes in either Grey or White. You can even choose different weight options for certain sizes.
This means that, no matter your style or space, you’ll be able to find a size and color that goes with your current decor.
Since every Weighted Blanket features the same high-quality, cooling fabric and well-made construction, you’ll never sacrifice quality for style—and with a generous 100-night trial period on all weighted blankets and covers, there’s no risk in giving Hush a shot!
Goodbye Anxious, Sleepless Nights!
After trying the Classic Weighted Blanket for several nights, I’m happy to say it really has improved my quality of sleep.
Thanks to Hush, I feel more awake and alert at my job, during workouts, and while spending time with family and friends. To me, that’s priceless! With so many great products to choose from, I’ll be going to Hush for even more bedding essentials in the near future!
