The weighted feature of these heating pads plays an essential role in enhancing relaxation. The concept of deep touch pressure (DPT) describes the calming effect that weight can have on the body. It stimulates the release of serotonin and melatonin while reducing cortisol levels, aiding in relaxation and improved sleep quality. Using a weighted king size heating pad before bedtime can help prepare the body for rest, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.
The science behind the effectiveness of hot pads lies in their ability to interrupt pain signals sent to the brain. Heat stimulates heat receptors in the skin, which can diminish the perception of pain by blocking the transmission of pain signals. This is particularly beneficial for chronic conditions like arthritis or muscle spasms, where constant discomfort needs to be managed. By providing relief, the use of a hot pad can significantly improve one's quality of life.
