A weighted comforter (or blanket) delivers “deep‑pressure touch” stimulation, which can help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and improve sleep. Studies show people using a properly weighted blanket often fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. So as a brand, SnoozeStyle is well‑positioned to offer these benefits in the Canadian market.
What to consider when buying in Canada
1. Weight & body size
A good rule of thumb: choose a weighted comforter of about For example, if you weigh 150 lbs (≈68 kg), a ~15 lb comforter is a good match. If sharing with a partner, consider the combined weight or two separate comforters.
2. Size & bed fit
Make sure the comforter covers your bed properly. For couch use or single sleepers you might choose a smaller size; for couples or larger beds go for Queen/King sizes. Also check dimensions—some weighted comforters may fit like comforters/duvets rather than privacy‑only blankets.
3. Fill material & construction
Quality matters. Look for evenly distributed weight (so it doesn’t bunch), durable stitching, and nice shell fabrics. According to reviews, comforters with glass micro‑beads, baffles, or durable quilting perform better.
4. Shell fabric & climate suitability
In Canada, you have a wide range of climates. If you sleep warm or live somewhere hot in summer, look for breathable fabrics (cotton, bamboo‑viscose) and good airflow. If you live in colder regions or want extra warmth, a thicker shell may be preferred.
5. Care & durability
Check how easy it is to clean the comforter: can you remove the shell? Is the insert machine‑washable or hand‑wash only? Does the brand offer a guarantee or trial period? These features matter for long‑term value.
6. Safety & suitability
Weighted comforters are great but not for everyone. If you have breathing or cardiovascular conditions, or if using for young children, consult your healthcare provider.
7. Shipping, returns & Canadian context
Since this is in Canada, check the brand offers shipping in Canada, local support, and returns. SnoozeStyle would benefit by highlighting “Made for Canadians” features (sizing, climate‑adaptation, local support). Also, factor any duty/taxes if importing.
