The Company Behind One of Our Favorite Weighted Blankets Is Having a Huge Sitewide Sale (Up to 40% Off!)
I’m betting if I asked whether you could use a good night’s sleep, you’d emphatically answer yesssssssss. Even in normal times, an anxiety-free night’s sleep can be a bit difficult to come by. Sure, you could try counting sheep or meditating before bed, but weighted blankets are another good option. Among our favorites? The Gravity Blanket, which was named the best classic weighted blanket on our Best List for its ability to help you fall asleep more quickly and promote a deeper, more restful sleep. And right now, it’s currently 30 percent off during Gravity Blanket’s Anniversary Sale.
The Gravity Blanket is a soft, micro-plush duvet cover housing thousands of tiny glass beads that create deep pressure stimulation. Basically, it simulates the feeling of a hug—which we could all use right now—and increases serotonin and melatonin while decreasing the stress hormone cortisol. Precise gridded stitching holds the beads in hundreds of little pockets to ensure equal weight distribution all night long, no matter how much you move.
Our Real Estate editor, Madeline Bilis, had been skeptical about weighted blankets but was surprised by how calm she felt after trying the Gravity Blanket. “It feels like getting a gentle hug in the best way possible, and it’s also allowed me to consciously decompress after work—a really wonderful gift during stay-at-home orders!” she said.
Currently marked down to $133.30 (normally $189) for the single size and $216.76 (normally $255) for King/Queen, the Gravity Blanket comes in four weights (15, 20, 25, and 35 pounds), three colors (grey, blue, and white), and features a machine washable plush cover. Gravity Blankets’ limited-time Anniversary Sale includes up to 40 percent off other weighted options as well, like the Z By Gravity Weighted Throw, the Flannel Weighted Blanket (if you want to be super-cozy), the Cooling Blanket (hello, hot sleepers!), and the Modernist x Gravity Cotton Weighted Blanket.
