I ordered the blanket
I ordered the blanket, and received it in 3 days
it's much more beautiful than I imagined
I put it on me, whenever I lay down, and honestly, I feel calmer straight away
it has a wide weave, and so, living in a hot climate, never feels hot, as the ceiling fan comes right through, keeping me cool
I just love it!!! my Christmas gift to myself 😉

hand woven weighted blanket
I purchased a hand woven weighted blanket in December 2022. It arrived promptly and ever since has been my best friend at night. It has given me, as the promotional material promised, wonderfully deep sound sleep. I love it.

Calming blanket - definitely worked for me!
I bought a calming blanket (6.8kg) back in August 2021 after my friend wouldn't stop raving about hers. I have been a poor sleeper for most of my life so I was skeptical if the blanket would actually help. But to my surprise and relief after the first week of having it I definitely went to sleep faster and felt I was getting a more deep sleep! If I did wake in the night I went back to sleep much more quickly. I noticed my stress levels day to day also improved, like the edge was taken off any stress and felt more relaxed. I don't know how it works but I now call it my "magic blanket" and don't think I could ever sleep without it now.

A great success
The woven blanket was just as described and arrived promptly. It was a present for my adult daughter who suffers from PTSD and ADHD. She immediately wrapped it around her and promptly fell asleep on our sofa whilst our Christmas party carried on. She has had it 3 days and loves it. Early days but very promising.

The weighted blanket is amazing
The weighted blanket is amazing! Super comfy and put my anxiety at ease immediately. The standard queen/king cover fits great BUT the queen/king bamboo cover is way way to small. The blanket has to bunch up inside it as its too big for the cover and doesn't even fit all the way across the bed, so not usable with that cover. I've tied the blanket to the cover and have attached correctly, the bamboo cover is just way to small for the blanket. Which I guess means, I'll only use the blanket in the cooler months of the year.

Hi Angela,
Thank you for your support :)
I'm very sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your blanket.
The inner weighted part of the blanket should be attached to the outer cover via the inner loops and ties.
These ties ensure that the beads stay evenly distributed and the weight does not bunch to one side of the blanket.
If some bunching is occurring, you can unzip the blanket and untie these ties, shake the blanket out flat to re-distribute the beads evenly, then re-tie the ties tightly.
I have attached a how-to video below for your reference:

I am hopeful this should solve your issue!
Please let me know how you go.
Almost perfect
I love this company and their products. Sitting under this blanket after a big day is amazing. My kids often join me after school as we all unwind. My only issue is the fact the inner blanket doesn’t seem to sit very well within the cover. Despite it being tied in at the corners it still moves about in the cover so when I go to pull the blanket up, the cover comes but the actual blanket doesn’t. It’s a bit awkward to get settled under but once you are it’s heaven!

I love my new bamboo weighted blanket and bamboo cover! It's so silky and smooth. I'm a hot sleeper but with this, I stay at a comfortable temperature all night. I have ADHD and I find the whole sensory experience of this blanket very soothing. The weight plus the buttery, cool fabric leave me in sensory heaven. I have previously had a weighted blanket from a well known competitor however this new Calming Blanket is far superior in comparison, and I will definitely recommend it.

I am so sorry to hear all your products did not arrive together and that you are still waiting to receive some of your order.
As I was unable to find any previous communication with yourself, I've reached out to you via my personal email.
I have also reached out to Australia Post to understand why your items have not been delivered.
I look forward to hearing from you and having this issue resolved.

Hello,
I'm sorry to hear you were frustrated with your delivery.
I can see that one of our lovely customer service agents replied to you initial email and has since been in contact with yourself and the courier to try and understand what happened with your order.
I do hope you can understand that once a parcel is in the hands of Evri- a third party company to us - we have limited control over the delivery times, processes, and any possible wrong deliveries. However, we try our absolutely best to try and track down your parcel, which can take a little time.
I've reached out to you in regards to your order again via my personal email, so if you could please review my response at your earliest convenience I'd really love to leave you with a resolution you are satisfied with :)
Take care,
Steph
All's well that ends well
I waited over a month from the date I was meant to receive my blanket and did not receive it. However when I got in touch with the company they were extremely helpful and I had my blanket within a week.

I love my hand woven weighted blanket
I love my hand woven weighted blanket! It's the best! It does all it claims & more in my opinion! I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a weighted blanket! There's no annoying noise when it moves like the ones with beads inside, & it looks fabulous! Service was quick & friendly! Also purchased Kevin the Koala, & it has been amazing for my 4 y/o Nephew, he is so much calmer & actually sits down & holds him rather than constantly running around never stopping. It helps him relax & be calm & still, it's wonderful for calming down before bed.

I'm having difficulty with my new weighted blanket from you. While I can see it's well made and very soft, I'm endlessly frustrated that the beads inside move around and gather to one side. I spend most of the night wrestling with it to get it in the right place rather than feeling calm. For the price I expected more to have been done about this issue, like more stitching inside to keep the beads on sections rather than all movable within the blanket.
I'm pretty disappointed and irritated by this.

Best investment!
I was lucky to purchase a calming blanket during a flash sale! After contemplating for a long time and tossing up on the purchase, I can safely say this was such a valuable purchase! I have had the best sleep from the first night! It is truly calming and comforting. I suggest getting an extra cover for when the nights start to get warmer.
The only struggle is replacing covers as there’s multiple ties to connect to the blanket so it doesn’t move.
Absolutely love the blanket!

This blanket has definitely helped with my sleep as it reduces my anxiety before bed. The only qualm I have with the blanket is that I feel the beads migrate to one end so the blanket ends up feeling awkward on me and its hard to move it back to an even amount throughout the blanket.
