Gravity Blanket Original 15 lb (Twin/Single)
Best for: Premium buyers, gift-givers, anxiety-driven sleep issues
The brand that started the weighted blanket craze — glass beads inside a plush, machine-washable cover.
Worth it at $129You're paying for the brand that made the category. The 15 lb of glass beads inside is the same as everyone else's.Gravity Blanket is the original premium weighted blanket. 15 lb is ~10% of adult body weight (the recommended sleep-therapy weight). Fine glass beads distribute evenly. Removable, machine-washable cover in multiple colors. Worth the premium for brand quality + a nicer feel out of the box; not worth it if you just want weight distribution.

Frequently asked questions
Gravity vs YnM — which is better?
Same principle (glass beads + grid stitching). YnM is cheaper. Gravity's cover is nicer out of the box and the brand has stronger customer service. If gift, Gravity. If for yourself, YnM.
Is 15 lb the right weight?
Gravity lists 15 lb as best for adults 120-170 lb, 20 lb for 170-230 lb, and 10 lb for under 120 lb. The brand bases its weight guidance on 10% of body weight.
Do weighted blankets actually work?
For most users, yes — deep pressure stimulation triggers parasympathetic response (calming) and increases serotonin. Best evidence: anxiety + insomnia. Not helpful for apnea or true sleep-onset delay from other causes.
Is 15 lb too hot in summer?
Some users report yes. Gravity sells a Classic Cooling version, which it describes as having a breathable shell built for warmer sleepers. Bearaby's Napper is another option for hot sleepers; Elegear's Arc-Chill is a light cooling blanket, not a weighted one.
