Common misconceptions
We often hear "it's all in your head." In reality, sleep disorders often stem from the body remaining in a state of alert. This is where a weighted blanket comes in.

Practical operation
Sensors on your skin detect your weight. This signal then triggers the production of serotonin and melatonin, the winning duo for sleep.

The benefits
The message is sent to the brain: “Relax, you are safe.” The body relaxes, the mind follows. You fall asleep faster, and more deeply.
THE PRESS IS TALKING ABOUT IT
"Reduces cortisol and increases serotonin and melatonin."
"It envelops you in comfort and warmth for a deep sleep."
"It's a non-medicinal option for improving sleep quality."
"It envelops you warmly for a quality sleep."
Studies confirm the benefits.
The "off" button that the body has forgotten.

Do you have any 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.
