You know the feeling: waking up under a thick duvet on a cold Sunday morning in January. You really just don’t want to get out of bed. You lie snug and comfortable under that heavy blanket, feeling safe and wonderfully relaxed. What if you could feel this all year round? The effect of a Novaline weighted blanket is similar!
What is a weighted blanket?
A Novaline weighted blanket, also called a weighted cover or weighted quilt, is filled with hypoallergenic beads to add weight. The evenly distributed weight provides a gentle pressure, also known as ‘Deep Pressure Stimulation’.
Unconsciously, this pressure feels like a hug or swaddling a baby. Your body receives the signal that you are safe. This stimulates the production of serotonin and melatonin and helps reduce the stress hormone cortisol. The result: deeper and calmer sleep.

Frequently asked questions about weighted blankets
For all your questions about choosing or using the right weighted blanket, Novaline is the right place. Novaline has the largest selection of weighted blankets in the Benelux, is recommended by therapists, and offers personal advice for your situation.
What exactly does a weighted blanket do?
In short, a weighted blanket calms your nervous system. This relates to the two modes of your nervous system: ‘flight or fight’ or ‘rest and digest’. In a stressful situation, your body automatically switches to the ‘flight and fight’ mode. This keeps you alert and able to make quick decisions. In the ‘rest and digest’ mode, you recover and relax. Do you have a busy and stressful life? Then it is difficult for your body to switch to the ‘rest and digest’ mode. This can cause anxiety, stress, restlessness and sleeplessness. A Novaline weighted blanket applies Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) to encourage your body to switch to the ‘rest and digest’ mode. This helps you relax and fall asleep peacefully.
What is a weighted blanket good for?
A weighted blanket helps you fall asleep faster, sleep longer and more deeply. As a result, you wake up refreshed, start your day feeling fresh, and can concentrate better. Many people use a weighted blanket for sleep problems, stress, anxiety or sensory processing disorders such as ADHD or autism.
How do you use a weighted blanket?
Using a weighted blanket is simple: crawl under it and relax. The biggest step is ordering the blanket. That’s why we make buying a weighted blanket as easy as possible for you. We send the blanket to you free of charge, and you may try it for no less than 100 days. Don’t like it? Then you can return the blanket and get your money back.
What is inside a weighted blanket?
Our weighted blankets contain very small glass sand beads, evenly distributed through a diamond pattern. Thanks to this hypoallergenic filling, you won’t suffer from allergies. Additionally, the filling makes no noise and is breathable for good ventilation. This way, you can use the weighted blanket all year round without it becoming too warm.
How can I best sleep under a weighted blanket?
The best way to sleep under a weighted blanket is to let the blanket rest directly on your body, without an extra normal duvet in between. This way you experience the pressure and calming effect optimally. In summer, you can use the weighted blanket without an extra duvet, while in winter you can optionally place a light duvet on top for extra warmth. Always choose a weight that fits your body weight (about 10%) so the blanket feels comfortable and not too heavy.
How long should I use a weighted blanket?
How long you should use a weighted blanket varies per person. Some people notice the effects after the first night. Others only after a week. There are also people for whom it works counterproductively the first nights. This may be because your body needs to get used to the weight, which you did not have before. Because sleep is unique for everyone, at Novaline we want to give you every chance to experience the effects of a weighted blanket. Our advice: try it for at least 2 weeks. To avoid pressure, we offer everyone 100 nights of trial sleep.
