We stock blanket boxes from $100 fabric ottoman to $500 timber chests across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses.

How much can a blanket box hold?
A standard 100cm blanket box holds approximately 80-100 litres — about 4-6 folded queen-size blankets or 2-3 doonas. A 130cm king-size blanket box holds 120-150 litres — 6-8 blankets or 3-4 doonas plus pillows.
What Most Furniture Sites Won't Admit
Most blanket boxes sold online in Australia are imported from China and Vietnam — including ours. We hold stock in our Australian warehouses.
Second truth: hinges are the part that fails first. Cheap blanket boxes use friction hinges that slam shut, risking pinched fingers. Quality boxes use slow-close gas hinges. Always check the hinge type before buying — it's almost always hidden in the spec sheet.
