The weighted blanket covered by your MDPH
Autism, disability, sensory impairments… Your weighted blanket may be eligible for funding from the MDPH (Departmental House for Disabled Persons). We'll guide you every step of the way.

The MDPH (Departmental House for Disabled Persons) provides public assistance to people with disabilities. It notably funds technical aids (weighted blankets).
Coverage is possible if you have a recognized disability (incapacity ≥ 50%), and a medical certificate that justifies the use of the weighted blanket.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are we different?
The market covers the bed with glass beads that move and make noise at night. Napoon covers your body with braided organic cotton that stays in place.
Our secret? We found the therapeutic efficacy zone: 3.1 to 4.6 kg/m² . What matters is the weight exerted per cm² on your body, not just the total weight.
Finally, our open-mesh braided design creates optimal airflow. Unlike synthetic blankets that trap moisture, Napoon remains breathable even in summer.
Is this scientifically proven?
Yes. Weighted blankets reduce insomnia by 50% after one month of use (Journal of Sleep Medicine, 2015).
Deep pressure stimulation decreases cortisol (stress) by 31% and increases serotonin by 28% (American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2011).
This isn't marketing, it's science. See the studies
What weight of blanket should I choose?
Approximately 10% of your body weight (e.g., 60kg = 6kg Napoon). If you are between two weights, choose the lighter one.

What if it doesn't suit me?
