This one from Dervla made us smile 💙
She got a Kocoono blanket to help her teenage son settle at night (early mornings + busy brains = not a great combo).
Now it’s part of his wind-down routine and she’s borrowing it during the day to stay grounded too 😁😊
Love hearing how Kocoono fits into real homes 🇮🇪

From the field to the best sleep of your life—GAA players across Ireland are discovering what elite recovery truly means. 🇮🇪
The physical demands of hurling and Gaelic football are unlike any other sports, with players balancing elite performance with work and family responsibilities. That's why intelligent recovery matters even more.
Kocoono Weighted Blankets are quickly becoming a must-have for club and county players who recognise:
🔹 The intense physicality of championship matches requires deeper recovery protocols
🔹 Sleep quality directly impacts reaction time and decision-making on the pitch
🔹 Muscle repair accelerates during deep sleep phases
🔹 Mental resilience builds during quality rest periods

When injury sidelines you from the game you love, every recovery advantage matters. ⏱️
Irish athletes across rugby, GAA, and other sports are discovering how Kocoono weighted blankets contribute to injury rehabilitation:
⚕️ Improved sleep quality accelerates the body's natural healing processes
⚕️ Pain signal modulation through deep pressure therapy
⚕️ Anxiety reduction during challenging recovery periods
⚕️ Better rest between physiotherapy sessions
⚕️ Mental well-being support during the psychological challenges of injury
The science: A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that individuals restricted to 5.5 hours of sleep per night for one week experienced 60% less muscle strength improvement compared to those who slept 8 hours.
A study in Medical Hypotheses in 2011 suggests that sleep deprivation decreases protein synthesis pathways and increases degradation pathways, potentially hindering muscle recovery after exercise-induced damage.

Sleep well wherever life takes you! 🧳
Unlike traditional weighted blankets that are bulky and impossible to transport, Kocoono's innovative design folds into a surprisingly compact package. Our customers love that they can:

Our removable weight bands can be separated for easier transport, then reassembled at your destination or left behind if you feel you only need that deep touch pressure in the upper half of your body. The flexible design allows for easy folding and compact storage without compromising on therapeutic benefits.

🎉 Kocoono Turns 5! 🎁 – Appreciation Post! ❤️
As we celebrate five years of , we want to reflect on one of our proudest milestones—being featured in the Irish Farmers Journal
🌟It was an absolute honor to have our mission of creating personalized, -relieving, self-soothing tools shared with the readers of such an iconic publication. The Farmers Journal played a key role in spreading the word about how Kocoono products are changing lives across Ireland—by promoting relaxation, improving sleep, and naturally reducing stress and anxiety.
🤔 But what does Kocoono have to do with the farming community?
Farmers, like many people with high-stress lifestyles—whether it's doctors, social care workers, or new parents—often live in a constant state of alert. During lambing or calving season, or when anticipating weather changes or animal care issues, farmers are always prepared to wake up and respond to challenges. This high-alert state means their nervous systems are on overdrive, making it hard to switch off and reach deep, restful sleep.
🥰 That’s where Kocoono LUXE comes in!
Our Kocoono weighted blankets apply gentle, even pressure across the body—similar to a soothing hug. This pressure, known as deep touch pressure stimulation, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps calm the "fight-or-flight" response triggered by stress. The gentle weight sends signals to the brain that it’s safe to relax, which can reduce feelings of anxiety, ease muscle tension, and slow the heart rate.
🎲 For people in high-stress roles, this is a game-changer! When they find it hard to calm their bodies on their own, Kocoono's weighted products give them the external support they need to do so. The calming pressure allows them to transition from a state of constant readiness to one of peace and relaxation, helping them fall into deeper, more restorative sleep.
🥳 The benefits go beyond farming—our Kocoono LUXE blankets are now being used in hospitals, psychology services, and even by busy parents who find it difficult to unwind after a long day. Kocoono is here to help anyone whose nervous system is constantly running on high.
❤️ u to the for helping us spread this message, and to all of YOU for your unwavering support over the past five years. We couldn’t have done it without you! 💙

💫 Five years ago today, we launched Kocoono on Kickstarter with a dream and a goal to raise €10,000 in order to bring Kocoono to life and launch the first production run. 🌟 Our Kocoono LUXE is patented and complex to make due to its customisation. 🛏️ We had no business experience or customers, and just before chatting with Mairead Ronan on Today FM, we were sitting at €8,000. 🎙️ After sharing laughs and our story on air, we hit the €10,000 mark! 🎉 That moment was a game-changer—our manufacturers got the go-ahead, and Kocoono was officially born. 👶 (Swipe left to see our happy tears crying face 😭—that’s my friend Aoife Keady who came with me for moral support! 👭)
🎄 Christmas was around the corner, and we were racing against the clock. ⏳ With orders arriving just in time, I even delivered some personally across the country to make sure everyone had theirs for the holidays. 🚚 They say it takes a village to raise a child—well, it takes a community to launch a business, and we’re forever grateful to every customer, courier, staff member, freelancer, videographer, manufacturer, fulfillment centre, fabric supplier, PR, and media outlet that’s supported us along the way. 🙌
🥲 It hasn’t always been easy. The pandemic threw in supply chain challenges and unexpected hurdles, but the incredible feedback from our customers has been the driving force behind us. 🏃♀️ Knowing that Kocoono LUXE and our other products are making a difference in people’s lives is the reason we keep going. 💪
❤️ A heartfelt thank you to Today FM for helping us get started, and to all of you for being part of this amazing journey. 🙏 We began with a vision of personalised comfort for all and to alleviate stress in the body naturally, and today, we’re proud to see Kocoono enhancing the lives of so many while you are getting better ZZZZzzz’s! 😴 Here’s to the next chapter! 💙

Kocoono is designed to be very unique and different from it’s competitors, Offering functionality, practically and customization; Kocoono is customizable because you can add or remove weighted panels to adjust to your temperature, as the weighted panels can be inserted into the freezer to cool down, this helps people that are suffering with sports injuries and/or hot flushes. Also, since the weight can be adjusted the blanket grows with you! No need to buy a new one.
Based on deep touch pressure stimulation, similar to a hug, Kocoono stimulates pressure points to enable the user to relax by reducing stress and anxiety felt in the body and leeds itself to induced relaxation, a sense of calmness and better quality sleep. Sleep deprivation and incidences of anxiety and mental health concerns are on the rise, globally. Kocoono was created to support mental well-being, restfulness and sleep in a natural way.
Kocoono is designed to be 10% of your body weight and comes in 3 weights 5kg, 7kg & 9kg, the weight is evenly distributed across the body through a series of segmented weighted removable strips which can be added or removed based on the users’ preferences.
