Found: This Crystal-Infused Weighted Blanket Is The Ultimate Cuddle Buddy

Weighted blankets (also referred to as gravity blankets) have become so popular, but why? Beyond the comforting feeling of being hugged while you’re sleeping, interestingly enough there is a wide range of impressive benefits of using a weighted blanket while you sleep.

A big piece of the weighted blanket magic is the power of DTP, or Deep Touch Pressure which creates a calming effect in mind and body. How?

Deep Touch Pressure causes the release of serotonin and dopamine, two feel-good brain chemicals that combat the effects of stress and anxiety. This is done through “tactile sensory input” (with weight in the case of weighted blankets) that is often used in occupational therapy.

In fact, Deep Touch Pressure is a form of therapy used often in cases of autism, ADHD, and anxiety.

Now that we know why they are so beneficial, let’s take a look at what we have a feeling might be the only weighted blanket you’ll ever want . . . Plus why!
 
 

Meet the Crystal Weighted Blanket by Sunday Citizen

Weighted blankets are typically filled with little glass pearls to get their weight, but the Crystal Weighted Blanket by Sunday Citizen is also filled with thousands of pieces of natural amethyst and clear quartz crystals.

Aside from being super cool, the benefits of having a weighted blanket filled with crystals are considerable.

Crystals are believed to possess certain powers and characteristics. Sound too woo-woo for you?

To explain further, crystals have specific molecular structures which means each crystal emits a unique vibration and signature energy field that interacts with our own energetic vibration.

In this sense, crystals can absorb and direct energy.

The Power of Amethyst and Clear Quartz Crystals

Amethyst and Quartz are two common and popular crystals, and their popularity is largely due to the powers they’re believed to possess.

Crystal quartz is known as a ‘master healer’ and is thought to increase the flow of qi energy and stimulate both the immune and circulatory systems. It also clears energy and enhances the power of other crystals.

Amethyst is known for its potent calming abilities. Often recommended for more restful sleep, Amethyst is thought to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system which is responsible for the ‘rest and digest’ function in the body.

It makes sense that these two powerful stones be combined for the ultimate weighted blanket experience.

That’s what makes the Crystal Weighted Blanket by Sunday Citizen so unique . . . and effective. They combined two powerful crystals with the already powerful effect of sleeping under a weighted blanket for incredibly restorative sleep.
