Hi! Hello, I’m Jerel. Today I want to talk to you about a more interesting topic "Can a weighted Blanket be used by two people?" Yesterday I discovered this topic when I accidentally browsed a social network site. A group of friends were discussing whether a weighted blanket could be used between two people at the same time.
Since our company's sales products also include the weighteded blankets, I happen to have a certain understanding of this topic. Here I also want to share the information I know with you.
In order not to waste your time, (he quick answer to this question is: The weighted blanket can be used by two people, but it is recommended not to be used at the same time.
Why is it not recommended for two people to use the weighted Blanket at the same time? This comes down to the functionality of the weighted Blanket.
The working principle of weighted blanket
The reason is simple, the blanket is a kind of functional blanket, its main function is to treat anxiety, insomnia and promote sleep. As a result the weighted blankets can bring these effects. Its function is to the user’s body closely through the pressure of the blanket itself, creating a feeling of being embraced by the user, which is the so-called "hug theory". In this case, the weighted blanket will reduce the user's skin's perception of the environment, reduce the body's tightness, calms down breathing, and make the user feel relaxed.
You can understand its function from this analogy. As we all know, when a person is injured or feels pain on their body, people usually use their hands to press on the area where they feel pain. When the painful area receives a moderate amount of pressure, the pain will become alleviated. Hence the function of the weighted Blanket is inspired by this situation.
Isn’t the function of the weighted Blanket magical? Many stubborn diseases that are difficult to treat can be relieved in the simplest way. After reading the previous points, do you really fully understand the working principle of the weighted blanket?
The more specific functions are actually far more complicated than what I briefly mentioned. The pressure of the weighted Blanket is evenly distributed. It comes from glass beads inside the fabric grid, and the weighted of the glass beads inside each grid are all the same. So when the weighted Blanket covers the user's body, the user can receive an even amount of pressure.
This is why I do not recommend that two people use the weighted Blanket at the same time.
What are the disadvantages of using a weighted blanket for two people?
Looking at the most popular weighted blanket specifications on the market now, which are the weighted blankets with a width of 152CM and a length of 203CM. As we mentioned before, the weighted Blanket has its own weighted and needs to fit closely to the user's body. The biggest disadvantage of using a weighted Blanket for two people is that two people cannot sleep on their sides which will cause a larger gap in the middle of the blanket, therefore will make the weighted Blanket lose its "close fit" feature.
In addition, another major problem is that the weighted Blanket is heavier than other blankets, and the pressure will not be evenly distributed when two people are using it, which will cause the suspended part between the two users to fall down due to its weighted.
If you happen to be sleeping on your side during this incident, then I believe you will be awakened by this inexplicable force. This will be counterproductive and will only lose the blanket‘s function of improving the users sleep quality.
Of course, many things are not absolutely certain. So, If we want two people to use the weighted Blanket at the same time, what should we do?
How to use a weighted Blanket for two people?
Everyone has different sleeping habits. Some people like to sleep alone, while others think that it will be more secure if two people cover themselves with the same blanket. In fact, both are the right way of life, there is no right or wrong.
Of course, as a result of the shortcomings of existing weighted blankets on the market. We have made improvements, and the central idea is to make the weighted blanket bigger. According to our survey on the market, there are some weighted blankets with a width of 203cm and a length of 220cm that are popular in the market. However, customer feedback shows that, it is not as comfortable as the 152CM*203CM weighted blanket.
The reason is that the occurrence of specified blanket data is beyond the data from the conventional weighted blanket. All data relating to the conventional blanket becomes less reliable. Therefore, the data collected only after simple calculations are often unreliable.
For this reason, we have produced a two-person weighted blanket that is more in line with market needs, and we have conducted more detailed research on the specifications and weighted of the product. It has also been proven through a large number of experiments that these improvements indeed have a positive effect on the product user- experience.
Of course, we maintain an approved point of view for the specifications of two-person weighted Blankets currently on the market.Firstly, if the specification of the double weighted Blanket is larger, it will add unnecessary cost to you when buying the product. Secondly, the larger specification will have a greater impact on the balance of the product’s performance.
Therefore, in order to make the product more comfortable, we have added 5 pounds to the weighted of the original two-person weighted blanket of the same specification, so that you will feel closer to the single-person weighted Blanket of 152*203CM when using the two-person Weighted Blanket.
End
Overall, whether you want to choose a double or single weighted blanket, as long as you choose carefully, you will always find a weighted Blanket that suits you. In addition, if you encounter any problems in product selection, you can leave a message at the bottom of the article, and I will reply to you as soon as possible.
If you have any enquiries on how to choose the right weighted Blanket? Don't worry, I will give a good answer to your questions in my next article.
