The Weighted Fiber Duvet is a weighted blanket that stimulates the senses and could improved sleep quality. It is soft and naturally enveloping, providing even pressure across the body. Users find that the duvet has a calming and relaxing effect.
Occupational therapists and physiotherapists, carers, physicians, and people who have used Novista’s Weighted Fiber Duvet confirm that it is soft and feels like a regular duvet. When using the Fiber Duvet, it does not feel like an aid.
These products are intended for the application of deep pressure stimulation. Deep pressure stimulation has been shown to facilitate relaxation and improve sleep (Larsson I, 2021), (Nakamura M, 2021). They can be used by the general population, as well as by people with cognitive and physical disabilities, from the age of 3 years. The products are intended to be used during periods of rest and sleep.
Novista’s Weighted Fiber Duvets have a proven effect in children with ADHD. It has been shown that children who use weighted blankets have longer continuous sleep, wake fewer times during the night, and sleep more efficiently. (Lönn, M., Svedberg, P., Nygren, J., Jarbin, H., Aili, K., & Larsson, I. 2023).
People who find resting difficult will often find the Fiber Duvet a real godsend – night and day. The Fiber Duvet may offer relief to people with cognitive disorders who have an impaired sense of time and space. Anyone who needs a comfortable, slightly weighted duvet is well-advised to choose the Fiber Duvet. It is soft and comfortable and fosters a sense of calm.
One of the most common misconceptions about weighted blankets is that it is your body weight that determines how heavy a weighted blanket you should have. Although it may work for some, the risk is high that you buy the wrong weight of your weight blanket.
A blanket that is too heavy feels uncomfortable, you should be able to move freely and be able to take off the blanket easily. A blanket that is too light has no effect at all.
The degree of sleep problems is what determines the weight of the blanket. If you have severe sleep problems, you usually need a heavier duvet (12+ kg) to achieve full effect.
To help you along the way, we have developed a duvet selector with its own algorithm. You answer a few questions and get a recommended weight.
The Weighted Fiber Duvets NOVA and FUTURA are quality weighted duvets developed in Båstad, Sweden. The innovative construction and unique weight element found in all Novista soft weighted duvets is based on deep knowledge and more than 40 years of experience in the health care industry.
The weight is created using longitudinal fiber threads whose properties make Novista’s weighted blankets soft, quiet and enveloping.
The two versions of the Weighted Fiber Duvet have different properties adapted to different types of users.
FUTURA is a weighted duvet that resembles a regular duvet. It is padded on one side, which means that the duvet provides different experiences depending on which side is facing the body. A softer side and a slightly firmer, unpadded side.

Our product portfolio also includes a weight blanket with hard weight elements. This product is intended for those looking for a weighted blanket with distinctive, point-like pressure that provides increased stimulation.
SAFIR is a weighted blanket where the weight consists of specially manufactured glass marbles placed in longitudinal channels. The marbles provide a more distinctive pressure that stimulates the body’s senses and actively contributes to an increased body perception. One side of the duvet is padded and gives a softer and more subtle feel. The other side, which is without padding, provides a more distinctive pressure and a deeper stimulation.
