Weighting Comforts creates weighted blankets that help improve your sleep and reduce your overall anxiety.

While pursuing a masters degree in marriage and family therapy, Donna Durham first noticed the effectiveness of a weighted blanket. An advisor in her program asked her to make several weighted blankets for clients who suffered from anxiety. Immediately after trying the weighted blankets, her clients reported a sense of relief. 

Donna began making them for friends, family, and neighbors. As the orders grew, her son Josh became involved. He created the website and now, as Co-Founder and he manages the digital marketing and online aspects of the business.

Weighted blankets benefit users just like a deep tissue massage. This pressure aids in releasing serotonin in the body. Serotonin is a hormone in our bodies that gives us a sense of well being. Some of that serotonin becomes melatonin which helps us relax and go to sleep. 

Simply put, weighted blankets are calming, cozy and comforting. They can help people struggling with a variety of issues such as anxiety and insomnia.

As a compassionate social enterprise, we believe in equipping our employees to do their best. We all want to improve at our jobs and contribute to the success of the company.

Our blankets also benefit the people who make them. We employ document refugees and immigrants in Nashville, TN to create a sustainable source of income and provide paid english classes to help these individuals integrate culturally.
