Our story
Synapsa, the company behind TherapyBlankets.de, was founded in 2013 out of necessity. A little boy with autism urgently needed a weighted blanket, but most blankets available on the market were not affordable. Therefore, the founders decided to manufacture the blanket themselves. From one blanket, many quickly followed...
The Blankets were initially sewn in a small apartment and mainly sold in Poland. Now we are in a large, modern building with over 100 employees. Our weighted blankets are bought and appreciated by customers from all over the world. Since each blanket is handmade and produced with great care, it is our employees who stand at the heart of the company. A good and fair interaction among each other offers our team a good working atmosphere in which everyone feels comfortable. Our employees come from all age groups and bring their unique character traits with them.
We place great importance on including mentally and physically impaired people as part of the manufacturing process. We are proud of our high-quality therapy blankets and the sustainable and environmentally friendly manufacturing process, which takes place entirely within the EU. We take the responsibility towards our customers, whether children or adults, to offer the best product very seriously. Our therapy blankets are meant to give you a calm and healthy sleep and provide our employees with a workplace they are happy to return to every morning.
Our mission
It is our wish and our goal to reach as many people as possible who can benefit from a weighted blanket. There is great interest from hospitals, care facilities, and kindergartens. We will maintain our high standards for the quality of our products and continue to expand our company in order to help as many people as possible who suffer from stress, sleep problems, or developmental disorders such as ADHD, autism, Asperger's, or Down syndrome, and to strengthen our position as the market leader in Germany.
Our social responsibility
As a company, it is important for us to offer high-quality weighted blankets and to satisfy our customers. It is also in our interest to take responsibility in all work steps, as well as to develop awareness in dealing with people and resources.
How do we manage to implement these goals?
1. Support for children's and nursing homes
Are you wondering what happens to the returned Blankets? The Blankets are given to children's and nursing homes, which often could not afford this purchase. We want to support children and seniors who can greatly benefit from the advantages of a weighted blanket.
2. Cooperation with organizations
Therapy blankets can help people with autism, which is why we support some organizations that deal with therapy options for autistic people. We want to contribute to helping people with challenges and deficits achieve better well-being – even beyond our regular sales.
3. Employment of people with disabilities
We consider every person as equal, which is why we also employ people with mental and physical disabilities. The work environment is, if necessary, adapted according to the disability and every person has the opportunity to develop their abilities and strengths.
4. Environmentally friendly production
We promote sustainable production with the idea that economic performance, social responsibility, and environmental protection are inseparably linked. The entire production process takes place in Europe – from ecologically grown cotton in Spain to the use of green energy and strict waste separation in production in Poland. Additionally, we place great value on fair working conditions for our employees, who are firmly involved in the implementation of our environmental goals.
