weighted blankets
Therapeutic heavy bedding
Weighted blankets are blankets filled with materials like glass beads or plastic pellets to make them heavier than ordinary bedding, typically ranging from five to thirty pounds.
They're marketed for reducing anxiety and improving sleep, with the added weight supposedly providing calming pressure similar to being held or hugged: I got a weighted blanket to help with my insomnia.
