John is a beast and I can't wait to get my hands on this one. This seems to be the perfect topper to a Casper mattress. I hope you all can grasp the gravity of the situation.

@danielsing3r Thanks for the hunt Daniel! Hi everyone! Happy to answer any questions you may have! Here is a bit about the blanket: Gravity is a premium-grade, therapeutic weighted blanket that harnesses the power of deep touch stimulation – a proven anxiety treatment – to gently distribute deep pressure across your body. Engineered to be around 10%… See more

@johnnyfio @danielsing3r sounds very interesting. Are there studies on this?
John Fiorentino@johnnyfio · @goodonestv / thebermudalist.com
@monadefrawi @danielsing3r yes! quite a few. I included a bunch of links in the kickstarter!

@johnnyfio if i want to share it with the gf, should i get the lighter version so it's 10% of her weight or go to mine?
John Fiorentino@johnnyfio · @goodonestv / thebermudalist.com
@itsjlev We designed the blanket to really be optimized for personal comfort. This way the weight is distributed correctly and you can really feel the effects. I'd recommend getting the couples pack so you each have your own sensory deprivation cocoon:)
Chad Reid@thebig3c · Cat enthusiast.
@johnnyfio @danielsing3r Does the extra weight come with extra warmth? I'd love a heavier blanket for the reasons you mentioned, but I'd worry about overheating at night.
John Fiorentino@johnnyfio · @goodonestv / thebermudalist.com
@thebig3c @danielsing3r its breathable as is, but the outer cover is removable if you feel like its too hot. Thanks for commenting!

Petra@meineleserei · Head of Marketing & PR, VisoCon GmbH
Sounds promising! I've already recommended it to colleagues and friends!

I need one of these so bad!
Derek Draper@derekdraper00 · VP of Sales @ Slidebean
I will never leave the house again and I'm completely ok with that. EDIT: sold myself and ordered the couples pack
Omer Molad@omermolad · Co-founder and CEO @ Vervoe
Do you ship to Australia? Every year it takes me a month to convince my wife to switch to the winter doona so you might have to send me a single 😀 🔥
John Fiorentino@johnnyfio · @goodonestv / thebermudalist.com
@omermolad Yes! shipping options on kickstarter are available!

I'm a sucker for anything that can help me sleep better - looks cool. How does this handle temperature? It doesn't retain to much heat?
Kristofer™@kristofertm · Founder @ Lamplighter Labs
I love a heavy comforter and have always thought how weird it was to enjoy the lead apron they put on you at the dentist when they take X-rays. It's nice and cool and heavy. Gravity seems like it's going to do just that :)
Joshua Pinter@joshuapinter · Product Dev at CNTRAL. Maker of ntwrk.
@kristofertm ^ Yes! That lead apron... I tell them to just leave it on me and doze off.
Anthony Da Mota@akdm_ · I upvote things that matters.
Looks amazing. Going to back it now :)
Jevin Sew@jevinsew · Rails / iOS developer
This is a product for those not afraid to say they're the little spoon! 😍
Chris Buttenham@chrisbuttenham
This looks incredible. I learnt something new about anxiety today!
Bret Prins@bret_prins1 · Web Developer + Coffee Snob
I personally just put some kettlebells on my chest before I fall asleep. Feels like I'm being hugged by The Rock.
John Fiorentino@johnnyfio · @goodonestv / thebermudalist.com
@bret_prins1 TBH can't really compete with that... Dwayne<3
Bret Prins@bret_prins1 · Web Developer + Coffee Snob
@johnnyfio Few can, cool product guys/gals! Good luck with the Kickstarter.
Ajay Mehta@ajaymehta
This looks awesome! Can't wait to have a blanket that is comfy and reduces my stress levels... definitely a need for that in these anxious times. Are there similar pillows/sheets that you would help alleviate stress too?
John Fiorentino@johnnyfio · @goodonestv / thebermudalist.com
@ajaymehta Thanks, Ajay! Check out Restrenew.com - all natural Pillow with natural sleep aids that go directly inside the pillow :)
Jon Sutherland@jmsuth · Founder @ Growbell.com
Love this idea and the execution looks great, but am I the only one a bit flabbergasted by the retail price? $279?!
John Fiorentino@johnnyfio · @goodonestv / thebermudalist.com
@jmsuth Thanks man! So a good quality comforter is a pretty challenging thing to manufacture. Becuase our blanket is weighted, our blankets have to be made by hand to ensure that the weight is evenly distributed across the whole blanket. This causes some extra cost, but even at the $279 price point that's relatively affordable for a nice quality comforter. T… See more
Jon Sutherland@jmsuth · Founder @ Growbell.com
@johnnyfio TIL comforters are very expensive haha. Thanks for the explanation and best of luck!
orliesaurus@orliesaurus · Lasers handler
Just a question to @producthunt's team why does this come under the "tech" category
Jerry@nomdejer · Strategy @ VidMob
Can't tell what I like more here, the gif of Connor's luscious beard or the product itself
John Fiorentino@johnnyfio · @goodonestv / thebermudalist.com
@nomdejer same.
Ankit Singh@_ankitsingh · Product Unicorn | Business Analyst
Great execution! Love this idea. Productivity always comes with a good sleep. Adieu to stress and anxiety, sleep with Gravity 😇
Damir Dulic@ddulic92 · DevOps Engineer @ ICBTech
Hey John, deciding if I will order this or not, it looks amazing, a bit expensive for the salary in my country but I will manage to squeeze the money out somehow, I have one question tho, I see you are a kickstart, which is looking to be successful. Do you have sufficient plans for proper mass producing this so everyone would get theirs in time? Thanks in ad… See more
John Fiorentino@johnnyfio · @goodonestv / thebermudalist.com
@ddulic92 Yup! we have all our partners aligned and plan on fulfilling on time. Thanks for your interest!
Damir Dulic@ddulic92 · DevOps Engineer @ ICBTech
@johnnyfio Thanks for the reply John. And congradulations on already passing your goal 20 fold :)
Zach Blanco@zach_blanco · Associate, Muse Capital
John, like I've said before congratulations on the rollout of this product. The way you guys have executed this is absolutely impressive, and its amazing to see all the success that has come your way as a result of it. As I'm sure other people have mentioned, it might be prudent to begin pitching your product to facilities that aid those with mental health… See more
John Fiorentino@johnnyfio · @goodonestv / thebermudalist.com
@zach_blanco Thanks man! Appreciate it! Love that idea, that was part of the reason why we launched for May, as it is Mental Health Awareness month. We are totally headed down that road in the near future. Thank you for the kind words and the great idea! Hope all is well!
Eric Wilson@ecwilson · Product Lead & Co-founder, Pro.com
I love the idea of weighted blankets, but really don't like the fact that you're using plastic pellets for the weight as opposed to something like glass beads. To me, this organic one with glass beads looks great -- is there anything else different about yours I should consider? http://www.sensorygoods.com/20lb... Great job on the marketing and presentati… See more
Dan Rosenshain@danr_4 · I try to be honest
@ecwilson On point. Nothing new here, just really good marketing. I'm guessing the plastic pellets is to cut costs and increase the margin.
@ecwilson @goodonestv, this is the only question i'm interested in hearing the answer to. I've looked into weighted blankets in the past and when I saw this I thought it would be bringing some sort of new feature. I don't see that here.
