Hush was founded in January 2019 by Aaron Spivak and Lior Ohayon after Lior worked at a summer camp for children with special needs. He was inspired by their simulation room which had a similar weighted device. He decided to team up with Aaron and together they designed a better version and launched Hush.
Hush offers some wonderful customer service features like their giveback program which donates 1 in 5 kids blankets and 1 in 10 adult blankets to those in need. They also offer a 100-night guarantee which allows customers to send back their blanket if they are not satisfied within 100 nights.
For those who are new to weighted blankets, they were created to help patients who suffer from sleep anxiety, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, Anxiety, Insomnia or just sleep problems in general. The secret is called DTPS(Deep Touch Pressure Stimulation) which reduces cortisol which is the stress hormone while releasing serotonin and melatonin. I found that DTPS also helps me greatly with my chronic pain disorder.
Background Information On Why I Decided On A Weighted Blanket.
My boyfriend and I both have issues sleeping. He suffers from Insomnia and Anxiety and I suffer from Chronic Pain as well as Anxiety. I have been in the market for a weighted blanket for a while and what drew me to Hush is that they offer a variety of sizes and weights.
Picking Out The Blanket.
Some things we took into account before ordering were the size of the blanket(They offer Teen, Twin, Queen, and King) as well as the weight(They offer 12-35lbs). It is suggested that you order a blanket that is 10% of your body weight. We settled on a Queen Size blanket that is 25lbs.
The blanket arrived neatly folded and ready to put on the bed. The blanket’s construction consists of non-toxic glass sand, an inner microfiber material, and an outer super soft minky cover. You can remove the minky cover and sleep directly under the inner blanket which is perfect for the summer.
Thoughts:
My boyfriend and I have been sleeping under this blanket for about a month now and I have noticed a huge improvement in the amount of sleep with both get. The blanket is super soft and comforting. It fits perfectly on my queen-sized bed and while I was worried it would be big enough for both of us, we haven’t had any problems. I am very happy with the Hush Weighted Blanket.
You can purchase the Queen Size 25 lb blanket for $239.20.
