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. The reassuring gravity helped slow overactive minds and calm restless bodies,
providing a sense of peace when her patients needed it most.
Sleeplessness is a pressing issue in our overactive modern lives.
Our Weighting Comforts mission is to help restore the balance between daily energy and nightly rest.
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 sleeplessness.
Donna's background in Home Economics Education informed her fabric choices and construction expertise, and her clients reported a sense of stress relief immediately after trying the weighted blankets.
Josh Durham
As a Business Management Major, NCAA track athlete, Student Body Vice- President and ambitious self-starter, 23-year-old Josh Durham was ready and capable for his first business launch. Combining Josh and Donna's individual strengths was an exciting adventure and led to Josh being featured in “Forbes Under 30”.
Better Sleep, More Relief.
Weighted blankets benefit users just like a deep tissue massage.
The added pressure aids in releasing serotonin in the body. Serotonin is a hormone in our bodies that gives us a sense of well being. This increase in serotonin availability increases melatonin levels, helping us relax and go to sleep
Simply put, nights with a weighted blanket are calming, cozy and comforting. Weighting Comforts embraces you in a peaceful space like a soft hug, calming your mind as you drift off to sleep.
