Basic Vs Luxe
Both Kocoono™ Weighted Blanket BASIC and Kocoono™ Weighted Blanket LUXE use Deep Touch Pressure Therapy and have the same overall benefits on health. Both are proudly designed in Ireland & Ethically manufactured in Europe.
Their main differences are:
-
Shoulder embrace: The Kocoono™ Weighted Blanket Luxe has a shoulder embrace specific to relieve neck and shoulder tension. Thanks to this feature, when you turn to the side, Kocoono Luxe turns with you and cocoons you all over. The Weighted Blanket Basic does not have this feature.
-
Customisable : Kocoono™ Weighted Blanket Luxe is weighed adjustable: it has 10 removable inner weighted bands. You can remove some of the inner weighted bands if you don't like pressure in certain areas. This is also ideal for children, as you can remove the inner weighted bands to suit their weight and add them when they grow. The Weighted Blanket Basic is not customisable, but still has 3 weights available (5, 7 and 9 Kg)
- Ease of movement: The segmented inner weighted bands means that Kocoono™ Weighted Blanket Luxe is versatile and creates ease of movement as opposed to the Basic which is one large inner weighted blanket with an outer cover assembled by 12 ties. The LUXE version is more versatile as the inner weights are segmented and it moves with you with more ease.
- Cooling effect: In the Kocoono™ Weighted Blanket Luxe you can place some of the inner weighted bands in the freezer and reinsert into the blanket having a cooling effect. The Kocoono™ Weighted Blanket Basic does not have this feature.
Should I buy the Kocoono™ Weighted Blanket Basic or the Kocoono™ Weighted Blanket Luxe?
The selection depends on your own needs and preferences. As we explained above you will enjoy the overall health benefits of the Deep Touch Pressure Therapy regardless of whether you choose the Basic or the Luxe model.
If you normally experience differences in your weight , you may prefer to have the customisable option (remember that the weight has to be around 10% of your weight). If you don't like pressure on certain areas, or you just want to apply pressure on your legs but not on the upper part of your body, you might prefer the customisable option, as you can remove the inner weighted bands to suit your needs.
If you are a hot sleeper or suffer from hot flushes at night, the Kocoono Weighted Blanket LUXE will offer you a cooling effect.
If you suffer from shoulder and neck tension, the Luxe version has the shoulder embrace that will help you alleviate this tension. Although, remember that we have the Kocoono™ Shoulder Hug that can also solve this need.
Children
The Kocoono™ weighted Blanket LUXE is suitable for children aged 5 and over as it is customisable. We recommend starting with the 5kg Kocoono Weighted blanket LUXE (the lightest weight) and removing the required inner weighted bands to suit the 10% of the child's body weight. The inner weighted bands can be re-inserted as the child grows. If you choose to go for the Children's blankets in the Kocoono basic version you can choose between the 3kg for children that weight approx 30kg or the 4kg for children that weigh approx 40kg.

- Anxiety
- Stress
- Insomnia

- Autism
- Alzheimers
- Sensory Overload
Kocoono™ is a natural self-soothing tool that helps users to have improved quality sleep, mood and relaxation, which in turn can have other overall health benefits.
1. Calms your Nervous System
The pressure Therapy switches off the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) & stimulates the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS). The activation of the PNS makes you feel embraced, comforted while reducing your Stress & Anxiety.
2. Reduces Cortisol and releases Serotonin
The Kocoono weighted blanket applies deep touch pressure which helps to reduce cortisol levels associated with stress and stimulates serotonin, the relaxation hormone. This serotonin will help you fall asleep faster, sleep deeply, and feel rested in the morning!
3. Boosts Melatonin
When the weighted blanket stimulates serotonin, melatonin hormones are also released, promoting sleep and helping regulate the sleep cycle.
4. Mimics a Hug making you feel cocooned and secured
Deep Touch Pressure Therapy mimics a HUG. Research shows that cuddles are effective to reduce cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and increase oxytocin levels.
5. Reduces Anxiety
The weight applied by Kocoono Weighted Blankets can be used as a grounding technique for anxiety. Studies show that grounding reduces night-time levels of cortisol, helping people to sleep. With the Kocoono weighted blanket, you will find that your body will naturally feel calmer as the gentle pressure cocoons your body.
6. Reduces Restlessness
The distributed weight encourages stillness and decreases the impulse to move. Kocoono weighted blanket acts as a massage, stimulating pressure points in the body and relaxing the muscles. You will have a drastic reduction in restlessness and the need to move back and forth. The next day you will wake up refreshed!
