Gravity Weighted Blanket Review Breakdown

The original Gravity Blanket, which we’ll focus on in this section, is a high-quality weighted blanket that offers many benefits for sleepers. There are multiple options available, so shoppers can choose the size and weight that best suits their needs.

This is a well-constructed blanket that is made with premium materials. Gravity has improved upon its original design. The inner cotton shell has grid stitching that helps evenly distribute the glass bead fill, while the outer cover connects to the shell and prevents it from shifting around.

The Gravity Blanket is designed with adults in mind. The blanket simulates deep pressure touch (DPT) for a body-hugging feel that is meant to help sleepers relax. Those who have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep may benefit from DPT, though research is still ongoing.

The general idea is that weighted blankets help increase serotonin and melatonin levels while decreasing cortisol levels. This helps reduce stress, anxiety, and tension. As a result, weighted blankets like the Gravity Blanket are often praised by sleepers battling insomnia, restless legs syndrome (RLS), and anxiety. If you are experiencing these issues, consulting with a medical professional is recommended.

Materials and Options

Gravity offers five weighted blankets. Each blanket includes a cotton shell interior filled with micro glass beads. These options differ, however, in terms of available sizes, weights, and cover material.

With so many options to choose from, there is a Gravity blanket for nearly every shopper, including kids, individuals, couples, hot sleepers, and those who travel often. The original Gravity Blanket and the Cooling Blanket offer the most options for shoppers. It should be noted that the single size of these blankets is produced in multiple weight options, while the queen/king size is limited to a 35 pound weight option.

Pricing Information

Gravity weighted blankets are competitively priced, with a price range that appeals to many different shoppers and budgets. There is an option for nearly everyone, ranging from those who are curious about weighted blankets and want to try one without spending too much, and those who are ready to invest more.

The price of each Gravity weighted blanket depends on the size and cover material. Within each option, the weight of the blanket does not impact the price. For the original Gravity Blanket, the fastening system slightly affects price. The original Gravity Blanket has buttons and ties to secure the outer cover to the interior fill. An upgraded zipper system is now available for an additional cost.

When comparing prices, shoppers should consider the materials and construction. For the most part, weighted blankets will cost between $75 and $300. Cotton and other natural fabric covers tend to be more expensive than microfiber. Gravity also uses high-quality glass beads in each blanket, whereas some companies use plastic pellets instead to reduce costs.

Hot sleepers may find it is worth it to invest in a more expensive weighted blanket if it is made with breathable, temperature-regulating materials. While most weighted blankets are sized for individual use, those who want additional coverage may opt for a larger size.

Weighted Blanket Performance Ratings

The Gravity Blanket performs well for most sleepers. Weighted blankets are unique in that they have a heavy fill that hugs the body to help reduce tension and anxiety. While there are certain considerations for shoppers that are specific to weighted blankets, the following factors should be taken into account when shopping for a new blanket in general.

The construction of the blanket will determine how durable it is and how evenly the fill is distributed. The type and quality of materials can impact factors like ease of care and temperature regulation. As each shopper has different needs and preferences, having multiple options available is often beneficial.

The Gravity Blanket is warm and cozy, with a plush outer cover and breathable interior. It is made with high-quality materials and it performs well in several key categories. We’ll break down specific ratings for the original Gravity Blanket here.

How Heavy Should My Weighted Blanket Be?

Gravity offers several weight varieties, and most shoppers will be able to find a weight that suits their needs. The original Gravity Blanket is available in a single size weighing 15 pounds, 20 pounds, or 25 pounds, and a queen/king size that weighs 35 pounds.

In order to experience the benefits of deep pressure stimulation, shoppers will want the weighted blanket to be heavy enough to provide a body-hugging feel. This helps reduce stress and tension throughout the body, promoting relaxation and better sleep.

Generally, a weighted blanket should weigh 10 percent of your body weight. For example, a sleeper that weighs 150 pounds should opt for a 15 pound weighted blanket. If you are between sizes, Gravity suggests selecting the lower weight.

For the single size blankets, Gravity recommends the following:

Blanket Weight	Body Weight
15 pounds	100+ pounds
20 pounds	180+ pounds
25 pounds	230+ pounds

The queen/king size has larger dimensions to cover a queen or king size bed. It can be used by individuals or couples, and the larger size and even distribution of fill helps prevent users from being overwhelmed by the heavier weight. The Gravity Blanket is not recommended for sleepers who weigh less than 50 pounds.
