Weighted fabric is a type of material that has added weight, often achieved by incorporating small beads or pellets into the fabric. This extra weight can provide a soothing effect, making it popular for items like weighted blankets and weighted vests. The added weight helps to create a gentle pressure on the body, which can promote relaxation and comfort. These fabrics are typically made from soft materials such as cotton or polyester, ensuring they are comfortable against the skin. Weighted fabric is often used in therapeutic settings, particularly for individuals with anxiety or sensory processing disorders, as it can help improve focus and calmness.
