Original therapy blankets
The Therapy Blanket (formerly Gravity) is the best-known weighted blanket in Europe, as it has been on the market since day one. The cover and inner lining of the Therapy Blanket are connected either via loops or a zipper. The even distribution of the glass beads in the chambers makes the blanket particularly snug.

Relaxation through deep pressure
The science behind therapy blankets
The deep pressure exerted by the weight has a relaxing effect on the joints, muscles, and tendons. This effect is also known as "Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation," where a gentle yet firm and even pressure acts on the body. This helps one to relax both physically and internally. Body awareness improves.
In addition, the pressure triggers the release of the hormone serotonin, while at the same time the cortisol level (the so-called stress hormone) decreases. The deep pressure signals a feeling of safety and security to the body.
Frequently Asked Questions about Therapy Blankets
What weight should my therapy blanket have?
The therapy blanket for children and adults should be approximately 10% of your body weight. This is a guideline, so it is quite possible that you will feel better with more/less weight. If you are between two weight classes, based on our experience, we recommend choosing the heavier option.

How do the weighted blanket models differ?
Basically, all weighted Blankets serve the same purpose, namely to apply pressure to the body. All our zipper Blankets have a firmly fixed filling with stainless steel beads. Loop and medical weighted Blankets are filled with glass beads that can move within the squares.
How is a weighted blanket used?
Please note that weighted blankets can show their effects at different speeds for each person. Start by using the blanket during the day to slowly get the body used to the weight and observe how you cope with the weight. Gradually increase the usage time until you finally sleep the entire night with the blanket.
First positive effects can already occur after a few days. However, it can also take several weeks for the body to adjust. Give yourself a little time, after all, you have 100 days to test!
