Abstract: A weighted blanket, comprising: a lower layer of blanket material; a perforated layer having a plurality of similarly shaped and sized apertures, each aperture defining a cell, the perforated layer being disposed above the lower layer; a plurality of beads distributed over the lower layer; an upper layer of blanket material disposed above the lower layer of blanket material, such that the lower level and the upper level sandwich the perforated layer and the bead. The lower layer, the upper layer, and the perforated layer are sewn together in a sewing pattern that divides the weighted blanket into a plurality of substantially equal sections, such that beads in any of the sections are prevented from crossing into any other one of the sections.
