Most online weighted blankets in Australia ship from overseas warehouses, which is why "fast delivery" usually means six weeks. Ours don't. We hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses and dispatch within 1-2 business days. Weighted blankets from $80.
What weight do I need in a weighted blanket?
The standard rule is 10% of your body weight plus 500g-1kg. A 70kg adult needs a 7-8kg blanket. A 90kg adult needs 9-10kg. Kids need lighter blankets rated to their bodyweight — never use adult weights on children under 25kg. When in doubt, go slightly lighter — heavier isn't more effective.

Quick Buyer's Checklist
-
Weight: 10% of your body weight is the standard formula
-
Size: Blanket should cover you, not the whole bed — go single size for single sleeper, queen for couple
-
Fill type: Glass beads are quieter and don't leak; plastic pellets are lighter
-
Cover material: Cotton for cooler sleep; minky (fleece-like) for winter warmth
-
Washing: Removable covers wash easily; inner blankets need spot cleaning or laundromat
What most bedding sites won't admit
Almost every weighted blanket sold online in Australia is imported from China, Vietnam or India — including ours. The real difference isn't where they're made; it's what happens after they land. Marketplaces dropship straight from overseas containers, which is why "fast delivery" turns into six weeks. We import in bulk, hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, and ship from there.
The other thing nobody mentions: not everyone benefits from weighted blankets. Studies show real improvements in about 60% of users for anxiety, sleep quality and restless legs — the other 40% find them uncomfortable or too warm. Try to borrow one first if you can, or buy from somewhere with a proper return policy. Also: don't use weighted blankets on infants under 12 months.

Are weighted blankets safe for kids?
Yes, for children over 12 months and above 25kg. Use a blanket rated at 10% of the child's body weight, not adult weight. Never cover a child's face.

Three items most buyers add at the same time: mattress toppers, blankets, and mattresses. Weighted blankets pair best with a breathable mattress underneath — memory foam plus weighted blanket sleeps very warm.
