About Our Weighted Blankets

Weighted blankets vary in size, shape, color, and material, depending on what you prefer. They’re usually filled with tiny plastic or glass pellets to give them more weight. Some blankets add just a few extra pounds, making them ideal weighted blankets for kids. Others may have 20 or more pounds added. These blankets are better suited for adults who want a serious hug.

This can provide an overall sense of calm to anxiety sufferers.
