Weighted blankets have long been used by occupational therapists for children and adults with sensory issues to aide with sleep and relaxation, but it’s only in the past year or two that the trend has spread to the larger sleep industry—so it’s no surprise there’s now an option for babies too.
Why Weighted blankets help sleep
Research has shown that deep pressure stimulation – the concept behind weighted blankets – has been shown to help adults and children who have attention difficulties, sensor disorders, anxiety, and autism. It’s a viable and drug-free way to increase both serotonin and dopamine for an overall calming, relaxing effect.
The blanket is filled with glass beads to increase the weight of the quilt, which is wrapped around the body by gravity. Basically, lying under a gravity blanket feels like being hugged and held – and it leads to peaceful, comforting feelings related to serotonin and dopamine, the two chemicals largely responsible for good feelings.

A weighted sleep sack is an innovation and improvement on the traditional sacks, designed for babies under 24 months of age to help them sleep, it keeps the style of the traditional sacks, and fill the glass beads between the interlining of the front part of the sack, enlarge the dimensions at the weft. The weighted sleep sacks are widened to provide a good wrap around the baby's body and give him a warm hug.
