What are weighted blankets?
Our certified organic weighted blankets are filled with glass beads evenly distributed across a grid to apply Deep Pressure Touch (DPT) across your whole body. This calming pressure signals your nervous system to relax, like a big hug, bringing you into a rested state ready for sleep & relaxation!
VERIFIED CUSTOMER REVIEWS
I've been using my blanket regularly and I love it. It feels well-made and is aesthetically pleasing. I use it when feeling anxious or restless, or just to relax in the evenings while reading. It's lovely and I associate it with calm, happy feelings.
What first drew me to this blanket was its conscious sourcing. I love the prints. And I love the way my nervous system sinks layers deeper into rest when I use it. I like to use the blanket at the end of a long day, when my energy is swirling. It grounds me and helps me to sleep more easily. For that, alone, it’s worth the investment.
My Earth Blanket gives me feedback from the outer perimeter of my being and hence brings me back to myself quite quickly. It ushers in a deeper calm and sense of peace.

Why are Earth Blankets unique?
Our blankets are handmade with GOTS certified 100% organic cotton, natural plant dyes and certified lead-free glass beads. We choose materials that are the safest and cleanest for the health and wellbeing of our customers and our planet.
Occupational Therapist Accredited
Earth Blankets are designed under the guidance of a certified Occupational Therapist, Ana do Valle (OTR, SEP), to promote maximum healing benefits. Ana says:
"I have used and prescribed weighted blankets for the past 30 years and I highly recommend Earth Blankets. The glass beads drape around your body, allowing for soothing contact with the skin. The nerve endings respond well to the cool feeling of the beads, as oftentimes children feel too hot using other blankets, but they like Earth Blankets! The patterns and fabrics chosen are soft and invite the body to regulate and be calm."
How it works
The deep pressure provided by Earth Blankets triggers the release of neurotransmitters serotonin, melatonin and dopamine, which are responsible for regulating your mood, sleep, and metabolism. Weighted blankets have been shown in several studies to reduce anxiety and stress, improve the quality and quantity of sleep, increase focus and embodiment and support sensory and other disorders.
Earth-conscious materials
Our company is committed to making products that are good for youandthe planet, which is why our blankets are made with only natural elements. Earth Blankets seek out the most sustainable materials out there from organic fibers, to plant dyes, to glass beads and plastic-free packaging. Our blankets come with a washable duvet cover to protect your weighted blanket and make it easier to clean.
Finding your match
We offer different sized blankets to match the needs of each unique individual. Choosing a blanket that is closest to your body size will ensure that you are getting the full benefits of your blanket's weight. We recommend using a blanket that is 5-7% of your bodyweight, unless there is a case of trauma or extreme sensory overload. In this case 10% is recommended, as well as for those who prefer their blanket to be on the heavier side.
