Weighted blankets can add an innate sense of comfort to spa treatments as they’re designed to replicate the sensation of being held, which helps to relax the nervous system, increase serotonin and melatonin levels and decrease cortisol. And now Hush, a Canadian based startup, has developed a ‘cool’ version for use in the summer months.

The Hush Iced, has an outer layer made from sweat-wicking bamboo and ultra-soft cotton which it says is “the coldest fabric in your house, guaranteed”. The inner layer is made from a microfibre material which has pockets filled with glass sand.

Billed as the world's 'softest and most luxurious' cooling blanket, it’s also designed to reduce anxiety and help users fall asleep, and achieve better quality sleep, faster, dovetailing with the industry trend for sleep health.

Hush co-founder Lior Ohayon says: "We started the brand with just an idea and a couple of samples. Once we saw the impact it was having with thousands of people sleeping under a Hush every night, we knew there was no turning back."
