Our Story
How Our Company Was Born
As a therapist (MMFT), Donna noticed that her clients were calmer and felt more grounded when using a Weighting Comforts weighted blanket. Not only are weighted blankets commonly used in the autism community, they also provide comfort to the average person in a time of stress, depression or anxiety.
Sleeplessness and anxiety are growing issues in the life of the average person.
Weighting Comforts seeks to be a solution in the lives of these people.
Meet the founders.
Donna Durham, MMFT
While pursuing a masters degree in marriage and family therapy, Donna 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's background in Home Economics Education informed her fabric choices and construction expertise.
Josh Durham
As a Business Management Major, NCAA track athlete, Student Body Vice- President and ambitious self-starter, 23-year-old Josh Durham was searching for just the right product to be his first business launch. Combining Josh and Donna's individual strengths was an exciting adventure.
Better Sleep, More Relief.
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. At the end of a long day, there is nothing better than snuggling under the weight of a Weighting Comforts weighted blanket.
