Adults are often left out of the print and pattern industry when it comes to weighted blankets. Most often, weighted blankets for adults are simple and drab in design. However, I am questioning how print and pattern, weighted blanket properties, and materiality can aid sleep and reduce stress. Quilted Comforts is a collection of weighted blankets designed specifically for adults that highlight handwork including embroidery, quilting, and watercolor which are known to reduce anxiety. The combination of a cool color palette, linen texture, and soft visual imagery aims at creating a calming and therapeutic approach to the once dull weighted blanket.
