A gravity blanket, also known as a weighted blanket, is a therapeutic cover filled with materials such as glass beads or plastic pellets that apply gentle, even pressure across the body. This pressure replicates deep touch stimulation, which helps in relaxation and enhances sleep quality. Gravity blankets are commonly used to manage anxiety, insomnia, and sensory disorders.
Gravity blankets come in several types, including cooling weighted blankets, traditional weighted blankets, and others. A cooling weighted blanket is designed to offer the soothing effects of weight while using breathable, moisture-wicking materials to control body temperature, making it suitable for people who tend to overheat while sleeping. These blankets are available in various weights, such as under 15 lbs., between 15 lbs. and 20 lbs., and over 20 lbs. They are also used to address a range of medical conditions, including attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Asperger syndrome, autism, restless leg syndrome (RLS), sensory processing disorders, sleep disorders or insomnia, stress, anxiety, and panic attacks. Gravity blankets are sold through both online and physical stores and are used by a diverse range of people, including adults, children, and teenagers.

The expansion observed during the historic period is largely due to growing awareness of therapeutic benefits, an increase in mental health issues, a demand for improved sleep solutions, rising disposable income, and greater use in healthcare settings.
The gravity blanket market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.87 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by a surge in eco-conscious consumer behavior, higher expenditure on luxury bedding, an increasing elderly population, a rise in insomnia rates, and a growing preference for personalized products. Key trends expected during this period include advancements in smart blanket technology, the creation of hypoallergenic materials, options for customizing weight and size, partnerships with mental health organizations, and the introduction of multi-functional blankets.
The growing levels of stress and anxiety are anticipated to drive the expansion of the gravity blanket market. Rising stress and anxiety stem from various modern pressures, including work demands, financial uncertainty, social media influence, and global crises. Gravity blankets aid in reducing stress and anxiety by delivering calming deep touch pressure, which soothes the nervous system and promotes relaxation. For example, the American Psychiatric Association reported in May 2024 that the percentage of adults experiencing heightened anxiety increased to 43% in 2024, up from 37% in 2023 and 32% in 2022, with 70% expressing particular concern about current events. Thus, the increase in stress and anxiety levels is fueling the growth of the gravity blanket market.
