Hey there! It’s Ian, and I’m here with another addition to our Honest Review series! This time around, I wanted to talk about the best option for a therapeutic experience for the body without having to go book a trip to the spa. I’m talking about bamboo weighted blankets!
I used to suffer from chronic pain, which eventually led to insomnia. It was just too unbearable to fall asleep. I tried so many different pills, creams, and therapy, but the effects wouldn’t persist through the night.
That’s when I decided to look into getting a massage gun or a bamboo weighted blanket, the latter which seemed more reasonable as it was multi-use.
If you haven’t noticed, weighted blankets have surged in popularity thanks to how mainstream their benefits have become. We’ve entered a period of recognizing personal wellbeing, and using a weighted blanket is one of the essential tools in maximizing that.
For this review, specifically, I wanted to focus on the healing benefits of a bamboo weighted blanket while also talking about how our personal wellbeing can also affect our environmental wellbeing. For that reason, the decision on which blanket purchase came down to the following:
While all three seemed like a viable choice, the deal on the Koala Therapeutic Bamboo Weighted Blanket was unbeatable, so I decided to go for that. I was not disappointed at all.
Here is my Honest Review for the Koala Therapeutic Weighted Blanket.
One of the major reasons of choosing a Koala Therapeutic Blanket is the list of incredible benefits that come with it. The Koala Therapeutic Weighted Blanket uses Deep Pressure Touch to stimulate the sensation of a tight hug. This releases endorphins (the happiness hormone) that help alleviate symptoms of stress and anxiety.
The weight of the Koala Blanket also helps apply gentle pressure that is distributed evenly throughout the body. This relaxing feeling alleviates pain and brings the body into a state of tranquility and zen.
The Koala Blanket is also hypoallergenic and eco-friendly. Engineered with 100% renewable bamboo and 100% cotton, the Koala Blanket is easy on the skin as well as the environment. The blanket also comes with a double-sided duvet cover made with bamboo and polyester mink that provides a cooling and warming side, respectively.
I was lucky enough to pick up the Koala Blanket on sale–in fact, they currently have a promotion where you can get the Koala Blanket for the low price of just £89!
I ordered my Koala Blanket and was pleased to see it arrive within a few short days. As soon as I opened up the package, I could tell that the blanket was of high quality. It was so soft and the bamboo really felt like silk.
Quickly, I took it out and wrapped it around my shoulders, and boy did it feel relaxing. I went and took a seat on my couch and closed my eyes to simply enjoy the relaxing pressure of the blanket.
That night, I swapped out my regular blanket for the Koala Weighted Blanket and instantly fell asleep. It was as if all of my stress and anxiety melted away. I don’t think I woke up at all during the night, and that was the first time in a long time that that was the case.
Just after the first night I felt so much better. The pain that usually flared up in my body was significantly less, and I just felt so refreshed.
After about a week, the effects were even better. I barely noticed my pain, and was able to perform certain mobility that I wasn’t able to before. There was a burst of energy and sense of calmness that I didn’t know I possessed.
The Koala Blanket was definitely a great investment, and I’m glad I bought it. In fact, the best part of the blanket is that I can swap between the extra warmth from the polyester mink side and the cooling sensation of the bamboo side.
If there’s one thing I am most happy about, it’s the decision that I made to purchase a Koala Therapeutic Weighted Blanket. It’s helped improve my sleep so much and greatly reduced the symptoms of my chronic pain.
I highly recommend purchasing a Koala Blanket, especially for that price, since it truly works as well as it claims to.
