General questions
- Improved sleep : Drift into deep, restorative sleep
- Reduced anxiety : Gentle pressure naturally promotes relaxation
- Soothed nervous system : A reduction in anxiety after a few minutes of use
- Safety and comfort : A snug, enveloping sensation that helps you feel protected.
- Muscle relaxation : Deep relaxation of tense muscles
The principle is based on stimulation through deep pressure. When you slip under a Napoon:
- The evenly distributed weight activates pressure receptors all over your body
- These receptors send calming signals to your parasympathetic nervous system.
- Your body naturally slows its heart rate and breathing
- Your brain starts producing less cortisol (the stress hormone).
- This physiological cascade creates a natural feeling of calm and security
It's a true dialogue between the brain and the skin. It's like receiving a full-body massage without going to a massage parlor.
We recommend a blanket that is approximately 10% of your body weight. For example, if you weigh 70 kg, choose a 7 kg Napoon.
If you are between two weights, opt for the lower weight (7 kg), especially for a first experience. The pressure should be comfortable for you.
This 10% rule ensures optimal therapeutic pressure without discomfort. Here's a quiz to help you choose your ideal Napoon.
Because Napoon is not just any weighted blanket.
While most manufacturers use glass beads that shift and make noise, our Napoon weighted blanket derives its weight solely from the dense weave of its cotton.
Each blanket is:
- Hand-knitted, stitch by stitch (approx. 1 day of work per piece)
- Made from 100% OEKO-TEX certified cotton
- No beads, no pockets, no plastic
The concrete result:
- the weight does not shift
- no area is heavier than another
- total silence during the night
- gentle, continuous, and even pressure all over the body
This design allows for more stable deep pressure stimulation, which helps the body release tension, reduce micro-awakenings, and promote deeper sleep.
Finally, our sizes are designed for the body, not for the bed.
Each model adheres to a precise weight-to-surface ratio to avoid a "heavy throw" effect and ensure an enveloping sensation, without ever being overwhelming.
Napoon is the choice of a therapeutic, aesthetic design and a tool that genuinely works for sleep.
No, and that's precisely what changes everything. Regardless of the size of your bed, it's your body that dictates the right blanket.
A weighted blanket isn't bought like a sheet. If it's spread out on the bed, the weight disperses... and so do its effects.
Spreading this weight on a large bed is like spreading a spoonful of jam on a whole baguette: the more you spread it, the less you taste it. The effect is lost.
To experience the effects of a weighted blanket, the density (weight/m²) must be precise. Each Napoon size is therefore calculated to offer a precise density (kg/m²) and act directly on your body and your sleep.
Our Napoon blankets are designed to be used in a variety of circumstances:
- On your sofa during a nap or a moment of relaxation
- In your bed to improve your nighttime sleep
- On your shoulders during a meditation or reading session
- On your lap while you work or watch television
Our 5kg to 6kg blankets are designed to be machine washable. For models over 6kg, we recommend washing them at a laundromat.
A dry 6kg blanket is already heavy. When wet, its weight increases by 5%. If you have the right washing machine, that's perfect! Otherwise, it's best to wash it (like your traditional duvet) at a laundromat.
In summary:
✅ What to do :
- Machine wash (minimum 5kg capacity): cold water, cotton cycle, 30°C
- Air dry (or tumble dry on low heat).
- Wash it approximately once a month if you use it every day.
❌ What not to do
- Do not hang it to dry, the weight will stretch the knit
- Do not iron it, the heat will relax the knit
- Do not soak it in water, it will become heavy and difficult to wring out.
- Do not store it damp, at the risk of mold or unpleasant odors
First and foremost, some people feel the effects from the very first nights. For others, it takes a few days for the body to adjust. Also, some find it a little "strange" at first, then find it impossible to sleep without it. In short, the feeling of weight is surprising... but it becomes soothing with continued use.
It takes about three weeks to form a new habit. A new sleep routine is no exception. We recommend:
- Days 1-3 : Use your Napoon for less than 2 hours.
- Days 4-10 : Gradually increase usage.
- After 10 days : You should start to get used to the weight.
- After 3 weeks : The benefits on your sleep should be fully felt.
Although weighted blankets can help treat some common sleep disorders, they are not recommended for people with certain medical conditions: untreated sleep apnea, breathing disorders, pregnancy...
We always recommend that you consult a healthcare professional before trying a weighted blanket.
Don't forget that we offer a 30-day return policy, so if you get the green light from your doctor, you can try one of our covers and see if it suits you!
Weighted blanket
A weighted blanket is a therapeutic tool similar to a traditional blanket, but with a heavier weight.
At Napoon, our blankets are meticulously hand-braided without plastic beads or granules. The benefits: The blanket applies gentle pressure to your body, similar to the comforting effect of a warm hug.
Our blankets are particularly appreciated by people suffering from:
- Insomnia and night awakenings
- Daily stress and anxiety
- Restless legs syndrome
- Mood disorders
- Chronic pain
- Sensory hypersensitivity
- Improved sleep : Drift into deep, restorative sleep
- Reduced anxiety : Gentle pressure naturally promotes relaxation
- Soothed nervous system : A reduction in anxiety after a few minutes of use
- Safety and comfort : A snug, enveloping sensation that helps you feel protected.
- Muscle relaxation : Deep relaxation of tense muscles
The soothing benefits of weighted blankets are scientifically proven! The deep pressure exerted on your body:
- Activates the effects of deep pressure stimulation
- Increases serotonin production (the happiness hormone)
- Promotes the release of melatonin (the sleep hormone)
- Lowers cortisol (stress hormone)
- Reproduces the comforting effect of a warm hug
Recent studies have shown that weighted blankets significantly improve sleep in people suffering from anxiety disorders

Napoon is the choice of a therapeutic, aesthetic design and a tool that genuinely works for sleep.
Absolutely! Our open-weave braided design allows for optimal airflow, creating thousands of micro-channels that wick away heat.
What makes a weighted blanket unbearable is not the weight: it's the lack of breathability (scratchy or stifling synthetic material). Napoon is made of cotton inside and out. Its open-weave braided design makes the blanket breathable and usable all year round. This way, you can enjoy its soothing benefits even during warm summer nights.
Additionally, all our blankets are hypoallergenic. This means they contain no harmful substances, artificial chemicals, or pesticides.
No, and that's precisely what changes everything. Regardless of the size of your bed, it's your body that dictates the right blanket.

Use and maintenance
Yes, you can absolutely use a duvet on top of your weighted blanket.
You have two options:
☁︎ The blanket directly on you (recommended for maximum effectiveness): This is the best way to fully benefit from deep pressure. Your body directly feels the weight, which promotes relaxation and sleep.
☁︎ A blanket plus a duvet on top: You maintain the "heavy" feel while gaining warmth and comfort. It's also a practical way to extend the time between washes of your Napoon blanket.
Like a thick duvet, a weighted blanket takes up a bit of space when unfolded. If you want to store it, make sure you have a closet or leave it draped over the bed like an elegant throw. It is bulky, yes, but that's also what makes it such a comforting cocoon.
Our Napoon blankets are designed to be used in a variety of circumstances:
- On your sofa during a nap or a moment of relaxation
- In your bed to improve your nighttime sleep

Weighted blankets are designed to work per person. Why? Because the weight needs to be evenly distributed to activate deep pressure.
If two people move or pull, the effect is reduced. The best option: one weighted blanket per person, even on a double bed.

Yes, under certain strict conditions. A weighted blanket is never a toy; it is a body regulation tool.
At what age? Ideally after 12 years old, following the key rule: the right weight. The blanket should always be approximately 10% of the child's body weight.
At Napoon, our models start at a minimum of 4kg, so they are suitable for some children weighing around 40kg, but not below.
Deep pressure can be beneficial for some children:
- who are anxious or very sensitive
- who ruminate in the evening
- who take a long time to fall asleep
- who wake up multiple times at night
It is also sometimes used for children with ADHD, sensory hypersensitivity, or autistic profiles, but always with professional advice.
Essential safety rules
- the child must be able to remove the blanket themselves
- gradual introduction (first during the day, then in the evening)
- adult presence at the beginning
- not recommended for respiratory, cardiac, circulatory problems, claustrophobia, or marked hypersensitivity
One last important point: studies on children remain limited. If you have any doubts, talk to your pediatrician or an occupational therapist. Their advice always takes precedence.
