ABOUT HIGHER COMFORT

So what is Higher Comfort?

It’s a promise.

Well, more of a guarantee really.

Maybe it’s just us, but a ‘promise’ conjures up images from childhood, where lacking credibility (being just a kid and all), you would have to propose (or agree to) a non-binding verbal agreement.

Such as, “If you trade me your Mark Grace Topps baseball card, I’ll trade you my Eric Davis rookie and promise to let you use the good Nintendo joystick.”

Which is an actual promise by the way, made between the Higher Comfort owners about thirty years ago when we were nine. After elementary school, we then went to the same high school and college, were in each other’s weddings, and are now fathers ourselves.And it was becoming new fathers that changed our lives.

We became obsessed (in a good way) with being good parents (and good husbands to our wives). So we started researching anything and everything that could help make our little ones happy and healthy (and us as well).

That’s when we discovered touch.

The science behind our sense of touch is kind of amazing. It’s been shown that simple physical touch can make us feel happier, lower our stress & blood pressure, and increase our immune function. For instance, simply getting a hug floods our bodies with the feel good bonding hormone oxytocin while also lowering our cortisol and stress levels.

And there’s also research that shows that contact with soft things can improve our mood. Put that together and you get the fact that snuggling under a soft blanket can help us feel more relaxed and happy.

And that brings us back to our promise and guarantee.

We may be a local ‘mom and pop’ business, but we guarantee the softness, quality and comfort you’ll receive - our own wives & kids and satisfied customers can attest.

Which in turn we guarantee that you’ll feel like a great parent, spouse, friend, or family member when you give the gift of Higher Comfort.

We’re so committed to that Higher Comfort guarantee that we offer a no questions asked return policy. So, if you’re not 100% satisfied, you can simply return it for a full refund.

CURRENT HIGHER COMFORT CUSTOMERS

Here’s what a few of our customers had to say …

“I wanted to take my baby out for a walk, but I also wanted to make sure he was covered and his little legs were warm. Well, the higher comfort blanket is the perfect size and warmth to tuck him into his stroller.” ~ Beth K.

“You know that feeling when you’re at a baby shower, and it’s time for your present to be opened in front of a group? You’re kind of put on the spot, and you hold your breath as the room gets quiet. Then your friend and mom-to-be opens it and genuinely smiles and thanks you and the group applauds. That’s what I experienced with my blanket. And then I remember driving home and smiling, knowing that I had gotten the perfect gift. Take that Janet. Kidding. Kind of.” ~Heather H.

PAY IT FORWARD

Related to all things soft, we are also proponents of having a soft heart, looking out for our neighbors and just being nice to one another.

Besides naturally wanting to be good people, ‘kindness’ also showed up in our happiness research. It’s been shown that being thoughtful and kind can also improve our mood and overall well being, which in turn makes us want to be more kind.
