Studies suggest that weighted blankets provide soothing comfort for those dealing with stress, anxiety or sensory disorders. Mimicking the feeling of being hugged or held, weighted blankets are used to relax the body and provide excellent sleep. The Bare Home Weighted Blanket is made by hand through a unique process to evenly distribute weight within 4"x 4" dual layered pockets of 100% cotton to provide ideal soothing pressure across the entire blanket. A filling of sand-like beads helps maintain a perfect temperature while adding just the right amount of weight.
