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.
