Weighted blankets (or "weighted comforters") are blankets with some type of weighted fill. Weighted blanket filling is typically made up of glass beads, plastic pellets, or natural grains like rice or buckwheat. Our weighted blanket is filled with natural glass beads.
The idea behind weighted blankets comes from something called "deep pressure stimulation" or "deep pressure therapy". It's the same pressure that soothes babies when they're being swaddled or lulls a child to sleep after they're tucked in. A weighted blanket can make you feel more secure, grounded, and calm, like the feeling of a cozy hug, helping to promote more restful sleep.
