Gravity uses a two-part design: an inner weighted blanket filled with fine-grade glass beads and a removable micro-plush cover made from cotton-velvet fabric. The beads sit in a grid of 4 cm² pockets, which Gravity says keeps the weight where it belongs, and an inner moisture-wicking layer is meant to stop the blanket from feeling damp. The cover is machine washable on cold and tumble dry low, but the inner blanket is hand wash only and air dry, or professional dry cleaning, which matters if you expect to wash the whole thing. The FAQ lists 15 lb at 42 x 66 inches and 20 or 25 lb at 48 x 72 inches. Prices run from $189 to $299 depending on weight. Gravity offers a 60-night sleep trial, the longest here, though returns are subject to a processing fee. It ships only within the US.
