@kristofertm ^ Yes! That lead apron... I tell them to just leave it on me and doze off.
John is a beast and I can't wait to get my hands on this one.
This seems to be the perfect topper to a Casper mattress.
I hope you all can grasp the gravity of the situation.
@danielsing3r Thanks for the hunt Daniel!
Hi everyone!
Happy to answer any questions you may have!
Here is a bit about the blanket:
Gravity is a premium-grade, therapeutic weighted blanket that harnesses the power of deep touch stimulation – a proven anxiety treatment – to gently distribute deep pressure across your body.
Engineered to be around 10% of your body weight, Gravity helps relax the nervous system by simulating the feeling of being held or hugged.
This increases serotonin and melatonin levels and decreases cortisol levels—improving your mood and promoting restful sleep at the same time. All without ever filling a prescription.
I've become pretty addicted to mine and I use it a ton while I meditate. Excited to bring this product to everyone else now!
Looking forward to hearing what you guys think!
@monadefrawi @danielsing3r yes! quite a few. I included a bunch of links in the kickstarter!
@johnnyfio if i want to share it with the gf, should i get the lighter version so it's 10% of her weight or go to mine?
@itsjlev We designed the blanket to really be optimized for personal comfort. This way the weight is distributed correctly and you can really feel the effects. I'd recommend getting the couples pack so you each have your own sensory deprivation cocoon:)
I love the idea of weighted blankets, but really don't like the fact that you're using plastic pellets for the weight as opposed to something like glass beads. To me, this organic one with glass beads looks great --
is there anything else different about yours I should consider?

Great job on the marketing and presentation. Lots of folks here seem to be putting you in the same category as Casper, who reinvented the design, marketing, and distribution of mattresses... But I think it's just that you've figured out how to repackage something previously niche for the mainstream.
@ecwilson On point. Nothing new here, just really good marketing. I'm guessing the plastic pellets is to cut costs and increase the margin.
@ecwilson @goodonestv, this is the only question i'm interested in hearing the answer to. I've looked into weighted blankets in the past and when I saw this I thought it would be bringing some sort of new feature. I don't see that here.
Love this idea and the execution looks great, but am I the only one a bit flabbergasted by the retail price? $279?!
@jmsuth Thanks man! So a good quality comforter is a pretty challenging thing to manufacture. Becuase our blanket is weighted, our blankets have to be made by hand to ensure that the weight is evenly distributed across the whole blanket. This causes some extra cost, but even at the $279 price point that's relatively affordable for a nice quality comforter. Thanks for asking!
In for one! @johnnyfio this feels similar in market to the way compression clothing exploded for athletes (e.g. everyone wears leggings now). Is the research essentially the same thing? Is thinking of this as the "Compression Comforter" a fair description? Keep up the great work! 🔥
and here i thought i was the only one who had a heavy comforter addiction -- bonus points if it doesn't make me sweat like a 12 pack of Schlitz at the Daytona 500.
I will never leave the house again and I'm completely ok with that. EDIT: sold myself and ordered the couples pack
@ddulic92 Yup! we have all our partners aligned and plan on fulfilling on time. Thanks for your interest!
I personally just put some kettlebells on my chest before I fall asleep. Feels like I'm being hugged by The Rock.
This is one of the best sales copy/copywriting I've ever seen in my life. The way it is presented from beginning till end is pure marketing art. I want to buy one of this instantly. Great product btw.
I absolutely love this. I read the use cases and it seems like this product really helps people feel more at ease.
