The Weighted Blanket That Started It All It Still Brings the Calm
Before Sommerfly® became a trusted name in sensory care, there was one product, lovingly designed and backed by science, that launched it all, our Sleep Tight™ Weighted Blanket.
This was Kristi’s very first creation and the Sleep Tight™ wasn’t made to be a best-selling product, it was made as a response to help children and adults rest better, feel safer in their bodies, and experience the calming effects of deep pressure touch.
As we shared last week, deep pressure stimulation gently activates the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of your body that helps you feel grounded, safe, and ready to rest. Studies show it can reduce anxiety, lower heart rate, and even decrease stress hormone levels.
But what makes the Sleep Tight™ Weighted Blanket so special?
Evenly distributed weight - We sew in pellet holding pockets in evenly gridded sections throughout the blanket to ensure it always provides evenly distributed deep pressure relief.
Curved neck design- What makes us different is our signature curved neck design. It’s carefully crafted to prevent fabric bunching around the face area and at the same time gives wrap-around shoulder coverage.
Sensory sensitive fabrics- We cover our blankets with carefully considered fabrics that aid in sensory relief instead of adding any discomfort to those seeking calm.
Proper weight %- It is a common misconception that weighted blankets or deep pressure tools should be 5-10% of your body weight and research actually supports numbers closer to 15-25% of body weight to be the most clinically effective.
This blanket wasn’t just the beginning of a company. It was the beginning of calm for so many.
If you’re looking for a research-informed, family-trusted sensory tool that supports sleep, self-regulation, and emotional safety, the Sleep Tight™ weighted blanket is one which we feel still fits the gold standard.
Rest should feel like more than weight and fabric, it should feel like being truly cared for.
With care,
Sommerfly®
