The medical weighted blanket
The medical weighted blanket is the original version of our weighted blankets. The blanket is filled with fine microglass beads, which are sewn into equally sized squares. The movement of the beads allows the blanket to snuggle wonderfully against the body. Made from 100% cotton, the weighted blanket has no removable cover and can simply be placed on top of the child's normal duvet.
The Standard (formerly Gravity) Weighted Blanket
The Standard Weighted Blanket is our best-known model and is particularly well-suited for children as a daily bed cover. The Standard Weighted Blanket consists of an inner liner and a removable cover, both of which are washable. The weight is created by fine microglass beads embedded in squares within the inner liner. The cover is connected to the inner liner via a loop system to prevent slippage. The blanket conforms to the body due to the movement of the beads, and the pressure on the body is applied pointwise.
The Premium (formerly Balance) Weighted Blanket
The Premium Weighted Blanket is our newest, patented model and is for children who prefer a slightly firmer blanket. The blanket consists of an inner layer and a removable cover, which can be easily changed via zippers. Thanks to the cover system, both parts are firmly connected and nothing slips. The weight of the Premium Therapy Blanket is created by small stainless steel beads that are glued to the inside of the inner layer. The weight of the blanket is thus distributed evenly and the pressure acts uniformly on the body.

Frequently Asked Questions about Weighted Blankets
What is a therapy blanket?
The handcrafted therapy blanket is a high-quality blanket that can help with sleep disorders, restlessness, and developmental disorders such as ADHD, Down syndrome, Asperger syndrome, or autism. It is also successfully used for sensory integration disorders. The weight of the therapy blanket is evenly distributed over the entire body, creating the feeling of a gentle, loving embrace. The body relaxes as if by itself. Stress and anxiety levels decrease, and you can fall asleep peacefully or simply relax. Therapy blankets are more than just a therapeutic tool – they are wonderfully designed, soft blankets that can be comfortably used every day of the year.
How does a therapy blanket work?
As the name suggests, a weighted blanket is not an ordinary blanket. It weighs something. This weight is adjusted to the customer's body weight and height. The deep pressure exerted by the weight has a relaxing effect on the joints, muscles, and tendons. It brings inner and physical peace.
What is the difference between the Standard and Premium weighted blanket?
All of our blankets serve the same purpose, but each model has some special features that we want to use to meet the different needs of our customers. Our Standard and Premium models feature a very practical function: Matching covers made of warming or cooling fabric are available for both models – depending on your preference and the season. The covers can be easily removed and changed. We recommend using the covers from our range, as weighted blankets have a cover system to prevent slipping. The standard therapy blanket is weighted down by fine glass beads sewn into equally sized squares inside the blanket. The pressure on the body is created by the beads gathering in a corner. The cover is attached to the inner cover via 12 loops, ensuring nothing slips and the inner cover sits firmly in the cover. The movement of the beads within the squares makes the standard blanket particularly snug. The Premium Therapy Blanket is weighted down by small stainless steel beads, which are glued and fixed to the inside of the blanket at even intervals. The adhesive is water-based, odorless, and harmless. The cover is attached to the inner cover via four zippers. This makes removing and putting on the cover particularly easy, which is especially advantageous for older people. The Premium Blanket is somewhat more stable and firmer, making this model suitable for people who move around a lot at night.
