Let’s Stop Pretending Rest is a Reward

Dear Kindred Spirit,

Some call it a “nest.” Others, a “burrito.” But we know the truth: A blanket pool—that glorious tangle of throws, pillows, and lost TV remotes—is the ultimate act of self-care. Let’s defend it with science + snuggles.

1. The Blanket Pool Manifesto

• “Lounging ≠ Laziness”

  Studies show rest boosts creativity by 40% *. Your blanket pool? A think tank in disguise. (Source)

• “Texture Therapy”

  Knit + faux fur + weighted blankets = sensory heaven. This chunky knit is my throne.

2. How to Build Your Pool (Step-by-Step)

1. Anchor Piece: Start with a weighted blanket (like this one).

2. Layer: Add a faux fur throw for drama + a quilt for nostalgia.

3. Accessorize: Toss in a heating pad (disguised as a “wellness tool”).

Pro Tip: “Hide snacks in pillowcases. Trust me.”
