CALMING COMFORT Weighted Blanket by Sharper Image! “Take Relaxation to The Next Level”. Our specially designed weighted blanket helps to promote a sense of calmness and relaxation! Calming Comfort works by applying an even amount of pressure over your entire body, comforting you like a hug. When under the blanket, you experience that great feeling of being hugged, cuddled or swaddled which is as soothing for adults as it is for children. Let gravity do the work going to sleep, relaxing on the couch, on a car ride, or any time in between. Calming Comfort is made with velveteen material. Velveteen is a super-soft yet durable brushed fleece material. Due to its weight, the Calming Comfort Blanket is NOT machine washable.
