How do I choose the correct weight for a child's weighted blanket?

The general rule is to select a weighted blanket that's approximately 10% of your child's body weight. For example, a child weighing 70 lbs should use a 7 lb blanket. The Gravity Kids blanket offers 10 lbs of evenly distributed deep pressure — ideal for most school-aged children. If your child is between weights, always choose the lighter option for safety.

What are the benefits of using a weighted blanket for kids with ADHD?

Weighted blankets use deep touch pressure stimulation to calm the nervous system, making them especially beneficial for children with ADHD. The gentle, consistent pressure helps reduce hyperactivity, improve focus, and promote a sense of calm at bedtime. Many parents report that the Gravity Kids blanket helps their child settle down faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling more regulated and refreshed.

What age is the Gravity Kids blanket suitable for?

The Gravity Kids blanket is designed specifically for children, not infants or toddlers. It is recommended for children who are old enough to remove the blanket independently without adult assistance. If you are unsure whether your child is ready, always supervise use initially and consult your pediatrician. Safety is our top priority — never use the blanket as a form of restraint or punishment.

How does the Gravity Kids weighted blanket help with sleep and anxiety?

The Gravity Kids blanket uses the power of deep touch pressure stimulation to simulate the feeling of being held, like a hug. This increases serotonin and melatonin — the hormones responsible for relaxation — and decreases cortisol, the hormone responsible for stress, helping children fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling calm and well-rested every morning.

How do I wash and care for the Gravity Kids weighted blanket?

For ongoing care, remove the cover before washing and machine wash in cold water with similar colors using non-chlorine bleach. Tumble dry on low and cool iron if needed. The inner weighted blanket should be hand-washed only and air dried. This simple care routine keeps the Gravity Kids blanket fresh, hygienic, and in great condition for long-lasting use.

What are the best materials for a child's weighted blanket cover?

The Gravity Kids blanket features a premium duvet cover made of breathable 100% polyester cooling fabric, designed to wick moisture in any climate. This makes it ideal for children who sleep hot or live in warmer regions. Soft, hypoallergenic, and gentle on sensitive skin, the cover is also machine washable — making it a practical, parent-friendly choice for everyday use

What weighted blankets keep getting wrong

Four reasons
people send theirs back.

We went through thousands of Reddit threads to solve the exact weighted blanket issues that frustrate you most. These four problems kept coming up.

Heat

Most weighted blankets trap body heat.

"My weighted blanket was so hot I'd kick it off by 2 a.m." — r/sleep

Beads

Cheap dupes have seams that fail.

"Beads everywhere." — r/BuyItForLife

Smell

Plastic fillers can smell bad.

"Smelled so bad." — r/insomnia

Wash

Hard to clean properly.

"Don't wash." — r/CleaningTips

Smaller, denser, quieter. Bonded into a quilted micro-grid.

OEKO-TEX certified materials.

No harmful chemicals or off-gassing.

The cover machine-washes.

Easy cleaning without heavy lifting.

60-day free weight exchange.

Swap weight easily if needed.

Made of these

Built layer
by layer.

Every Gravity Blanket is six elements working in concert — fine glass beads, gridded stitching, internal ties, dual zippers, a brushed cover, and double-stitched seams. Each one has a job.

            Cotton-velvet cover
          
            Moisture-wicking shell
          
            Glass-bead grid
          
            Internal corner ties
          
            Quilt-stitched baffles

01 · Cotton-velvet outer cover

Removable, machine-washable, gets softer with every wash.

02 · Moisture-wicking inner shell

The layer next to your skin pulls humidity away from the body so the blanket stays dry — and so do you.

03 · Glass-bead grid

Fine glass beads (smaller, denser, quieter than plastic pellets) sit in 4cm² gridded pockets. Even pressure, no migration.

04 · Internal corner ties

Removable, machine-washable, gets softer with every wash.

05 · Quilt-stitched baffles

Double-stitched seams and quilt baffles keep beads exactly where they belong. Tested through 5,000 wash cycles.

06 · YKK dual-zipper closure

Two zippers, opposite ends, hidden flap. Smooth on, smooth off — even at 25 lbs.
