A weighted, or as it is also called, gravity or sensory, product can be used both for healthy children and for those who have some health problems.
The difference between weighted blankets and regular blankets
Perhaps the main difference, as you can understand from the name, is that such blankets are very heavy.
The gravity blanket consists of many cells that are filled with weighting materials, such as polypropylene granules, buckwheat husks, etc.
Benefits of Weighted Blankets
These products are believed to help those who suffer from insomnia, anxiety, or restless legs syndrome.
In addition, gravity products are often the choice of parents whose children have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, ADHD, ASD and other diseases.
Sensory blankets are often used to combat hyperactivity and difficulty falling asleep in children.
Moreover, according to the manufacturers, a heavy blanket can help you concentrate faster and improve your academic performance, so it is also recommended to use it after active games, a tiring trip, etc., to stabilize the nervous system and focus on your studies.
