What does a heated blanket do?

Your recovery aid after exercise

Research shows that heat (such as the heat from an electric blanket) can improve your blood circulation, which accelerates your recovery after heavy training. Heat therapy works by increasing blood circulation to the area, which can increase flexibility and possibly mitigate discomfort. This means that heated blankets can help with relieving muscle pain, stiffness or chronic pain - for people who suffer from this, heated blankets are especially beneficial because of the large surface that the blanket can heat in one go.

Useful for older people suffering from arthritis

It is usually recommended to use these blankets in the morning instead of going to bed, because that is the time when our muscles need the most. When we get up, our muscles are very stiff, especially when it gets colder. If you have arthritis pain in your joints, hips, legs and/or back, it is recommended to structure your morning routine around about 20 minutes in bed with the heated blanket on before you get up.

Helps to reduce stress and anxiety

By combining the deep pressure of a weighting blanket with the heat of a heating element, they offer a unique comforter experience. The deep pressure offers a sense of safety and helps to reduce anxiety, while the heat can alleviate painful muscles and improve relaxation.

Whether you are looking for a therapeutic heat source to treat a painful back or just look for a cozy way to curl with a good book, the heated blankets will keep you nice and warm all winter.
