1
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.
2
Practical operation
Sensors on your skin detect your weight. This signal then triggers the production of serotonin and melatonin, the winning duo for sleep.
3
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.
Studies confirm the benefits.
The "off button" that the body has forgotten.

Do you have any questions?
How are we different?
Most weighted blankets are filled with glass beads that shift and make noise at night. Napoon blankets envelop your body with a woven cotton (inside and out) design that stays in place.
Our secret? We found the therapeutic sweet spot: 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-weave braided design ensures optimal airflow. Unlike synthetic blankets that can feel stifling, 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.
