The Cozy Science Behind Deep Pressure Therapy
Share
Why does being hugged feel so calming? That is the power of Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT) also called Deep Touch Pressure (DTP).
This technique gently activates the parasympathetic nervous system, telling your body:
“You are safe. You can relax.”
How It Works
When you apply gentle, even pressure (like from a weighted blanket), your body responds by:
- Lowering cortisol
- Slowing your heart rate
- Boosting serotonin & melatonin

Unlike traditional weighted blankets filled with glass beads, our blankets are:
- Hand-knit for even pressure
- Naturally breathable
- Silent, soft, and stylish
