What is it?

Gravity Blanket

Projected as the world’s most popular weighted blanket, Gravity Blanket is a premium-grade weighted blanket that induces sleep and relaxation naturally. It exerts deep pressure to key parts of the body and gives a feeling of being hugged.

YNM

It’s a weighted blanket for children which indulges them with cosy warmth and induces them to sleep serenely. It is available in a wide array of sizes.

Blanquil

It’s a quilted weighted blanket that helps one sleep warmly when worn as it makes the user feel he’s being hugged and cradled.

Verdict: If price factor is not a criterion, Gravity Blanket, the world’s most popular weighted blanket, scores over the other two here.

Gravity Blanket

It is made from premium-grade soft materials. It has an ultra-soft micro-fiber duvet as its exterior and 100% cotton as its inner shell.

Blanquil

It’s not mentioned clearly what material Blanquil is made of, except that it is breathable, very soft to touch and has a washable outer cover.

Verdict: If you like to be indulged with sheer softness while sleeping, Gravity Blanket or Blanquil would be the preferred options. However, price factor would give Blanquil an edge here since Gravity Blanket is way too expensive.

Compare Filling

Gravity Blanket

Micro beads (high-density plastic poly pellets) strewn into the grid-like pattern of the exterior. They focus on pressure points on your body and distribute weight evenly.

YNM

Glass beads sewn into individual pockets and surrounded by soft, light fiber fill to eliminate noisy shifting while you sleep

Blanquil

High density plastic poly pellets which hare odorless, non-toxic and food grade.
