I became aware of the site through an ad on social media. I had already heard a lot about the concept of weighted blankets from my friends and acquaintances, and they mostly reported positive experiences.

I myself sometimes have trouble calming down before important competitions. However, restful sleep is an absolutely necessary prerequisite for delivering the best possible performance. After the first few nights felt a little unusual, as the weight of the blanket noticeably made it harder to move in bed, I noticed a significant improvement in my sleep in the following nights. The weight of the blanket has a very calming effect.
I also find the weighted blanket to be very well-balanced. It is balanced in such a way that it is heavy, but I don't feel crushed. Furthermore, I find the cover to be comfortable and very pleasant and natural to the touch.
The calming effect of the weight helps me fall asleep faster, and sleep deeper and better through the night. I am noticeably more rested the next morning.

In my experience, especially in professional sports, there is a wide range of tools that contribute to regeneration. Some approaches are applicable to almost all athletes, but a large part of regeneration also involves recognizing individual needs and acting accordingly. With the weighted blanket, I have definitely expanded my personal portfolio for better and faster regeneration. I use the weighted blanket mostly at home and for important trips abroad.

The very concept of the blanket implies that transport is relatively difficult, as the blanket takes up a lot of space and even more weight. Therefore, I believe that while the application in professional sports is very sensible and helpful, it conflicts with the enormous amount of travel around the globe each year. From my personal perspective, a blanket that is at least significantly more space-saving would be particularly useful for elite sports.
