When people talk about the “grounding” sensation they get from a weighted blanket or wake up feeling less anxious and more well-rested, it could very likely be due to the effects of glass beads specifically, as they distribute much more evenly and smoothly throughout the blanket than other fillings, thereby wrapping you softly in a gentle, soothing hug. Because of their itty-bitty size, they are soft enough for people with physical sensitivities.
