Not what I expected
I ordered the blanket and koala package for my son, he loved the koala but found the blanket way too small to be of any use, it bunches up really easily and falls to each corner. I feel like it was a waste of money.

Forget herbal supplements to aid sleep
My 16 year old has struggled with sleep for the last two years. A variety of herbal remedies proved useless in overcoming her problem. I stumbled across reviews for this weighted blanket and, hesitantly, I ordered one not really believing it would help. From the first night, she slept straight through and has continued to do so since. The quality of the outer velvet cover and the dark granite colour really do make this calming blanket look beautiful. I am planning to buy one for myself as it really is worth every penny. Thank you too to Katharine who was incredibly helpful at Calming Blankets.

Game changer
As a woman who “enjoys” depression and estrogen leaving building, I had my share of sleepless nights way before I should have....this blanket is the answer❤️ Not gonna crap here that I sleep all night, every night but this blankets offer major improvement. I have recently purchased also family bundle to enjoy the same comfort while chilling on sofa and also offer it to my visits

Love love it.
Total love it. Was not sure when ordering, cause I had so many sleeping troubles. But after getting my blanket, omg have never sleep so good. It is true to its advertising

I Can Now Sleep
I bought one of the adult sized with an extra bamboo cover. I have been far less restless sleeping longer. I lent my blanket to my son who is blind and has anxiety he loved it so much that I have just received yesterday another three blankets to use between his and my place. I think I will be also ordering some more summer covers in the near future. LOVE THEM!

Wonderful gift from family
I’m 70 and a little bit heavy but I love the secure feeling and how it makes me feel.
My family gave it as a present otherwise I would have never known that the blanket was all that the advertisement talks about.

Easily breakable
Delivery was on point and product was good, but, it's only been 2 weeks since I started to use this product (I ordered at end of Dec, it arrived while I was on holiday) and blanket is broken and beads are everywhere on the floor. I ordered summer and winter blanket. Summer blanket broke - has holes in them in weird spots, and winter one doesn't flatten out properly.
I don't think I will buy or recommend weighted blanket from this company ever again.

Appalling customer service
I ordered 2 products from this company, after a week they hadn’t been posted and I’d had no correspondence so I sent and email to customer service and received an automated response stating they would contact me within 4 days, unimpressed with this I asked to cancel my order. They contacted me within hours of my request and was told my order was picked, packed and on a truck so wouldn’t be possible to cancel. 2 days later I received an email telling me one of the products wasn’t available but they would send out the other. I then received an e...
Read moremail to inform me that both my products had been sent. Tired of the dishonest and contradictory communication I contacted [Name Removed] from calming blankets who insisted there had been no false or misleading information and that he would cancel my order. In my years of online shopping I can honestly say this is the worst customer experience I have had. I would unequivocally dissuade anyone from buying from this company.Purchased in January 2021 at Calming Blankets.

Labelled as Polyester - ordered Bamboo
The issue of incorrect labelling was raised here 2 months ago. I received my 'calming blanket' and cover yesterday. Ordered Bamboo and is labelled as polyester. It is shiny and very thin - even if it is bamboo, I dont imagine there would be much longevity to the fabric. I would like to return this - please confirm how.

Hi Jackie, Steph here :)
I'm very sorry to hear that you would like to return your order. I would be happy to assist you with this process....
Read more If you could please send me an email at steph@calmingblankets.com.au with your order number, I will get that sorted for you right away. In regards to the Bamboo Blanket being incorrectly labelled, this is an issue that we are aware of, and are currently phasing out. All of our new Bamboo Blankets that have been since manufactured have the correct label attach which clearly states that the bamboo blankets are made from 100% bamboo lyocell fibre, both the inner blanket and the outer cover. I would like to also point out that we do actually have a 1-year warranty on all of our blankets, and we do believe our products to be of rather high quality. Again, we are very sorry that your order was affected by the labelling error, I hope to hear from you soon in regards to returning that one.Hello Steph, we have now exchanged a number of emails, I have confirmed I would like a return form and refund from you last week.

Poor product and poor customer service
Weighted blanket bunches up all the time. It was suggested that we shake it out so the beads flatten out, but as soon as my daughter moves the beads bunch up again. Returned the item and asked for funds to be refunded to a different bank account. Customer service failed to reply to my email until after they had “refunded” the money into a bank account I no longer have access too. Poor form!!!! Now not am I only without a blanket, I am also out of pocket $106.
They tell me after the refund is made that they cannot refund to a different card, if I had known that before I would have asked for a replacement product which I am entitled too by law.

This is a Scam they do not ship products
I ordered 2 weeks ago and paid online. No sign of the products until now- I sent emails and phone calls. Than “Harry” support answers that product is shipped and with Dhl. A lie again since the courier shows clear no package sent. report the fraud!

Hi Monica, Steph here :)
I am so terribly sorry that your order has not yet arrived with you - I have looked over your correspondences with Harry and his correspondences with the fulfilment centre and it is definitely a bizzare one....
Read more While DHL have claimed that they have never received the parcel, our distribution centre has confirmed with us that your order was in fact given to DHL on November 16th. We have had cases before in which a parcel has missed a scan at some point on its journey with DHL, perhaps this is a similar situation to yours. Again, we are so sorry that you have had this experience with our company, we strive for 100% customer satisfaction and are sad to hear that you feel unsatisfied with our service thus far (which is understandable given the situation) I have just reached out to you from my personal email address to get this resolved as quickly as possible :) We look forward to hearing back from you and getting this sorted out!Excellent! Best customer service also
My blanket unfortunately got lost in the mail by the courier. The support team were beyond helpful and sent me another one, and I LOVE IT! Definitely a good investment. Thankyou to the beautiful support Team!

Not worth the hype
I can understand why some people may love this blanket, and I hope my review doesn't invalidate others' experiences. Personally, though, I found this product to be incredibly overrated. I don't see how the weight actually adds anything to the experience of sleeping. I suppose it can be somewhat calming, but it certainly isn't like being enveloped by a hug, the way the ads make it out to be. I think it's an expensive blanket that isn't too different from anything you could get from Kmart, with the caveat that its weight makes it very difficult to move around. Good luck trying to turf it off the bed if you're overheating, too.

I wish we found this earlier!
Our 4-year old daughter never slept through the night. At best we would get 4 hours, sometimes spending up to 2 hours resettling her and many nights jumping into bed with her. After 3 nights of using the calming blanket she slept through the night. 12 hours. Every night. So far it’s has been 3 weeks of blissful sleep. She also self-settles if she wakes up. She loves her calming blanket. It’s our new go-to gift for friends whose children struggle with a good nights sleep. I cannot recommend this product enough!

Very happy with purchase. My 11 year old son who is tall for his age but quite lanky found the smaller adult size recommended a little heavy. He loved the look and feel of it in his favourite colour - navy blue so will put it away for when he is a bit bigger. He will also love the koala which will give him for christmas. (He loves soft toys and blankys still).

Ange S.asked
I purchased the Bamboo Weighted Blanket as I live in sunny Queensland and wanted a natural fabric that would breathe. I received a blanket and the label says Polyester Inner and Outer with glass beads filling. There is zero reference to bamboo. I've done a bit of reading online and am pretty confident that Bamboo should not be labelled as polyester in any circumstance. Can anyone offer any explanation? It seems a bit misleading to me.

Hi Ange, Steph here :)
I'm very sorry to hear that you have possibly received an incorrect blanket.
I can assure you that our blankets are made from 100% bamboo, however unfortunately, we have recently found that some of the bamboo blankets had the incorrect label put on them when they were manufactured.
Rest assured as soon as we found out, we got on top of this with our suppliers.
I have just sent you an email, if you could please get back to me with a photo of that one, I would love to get this sorted for you right away!
Hope to hear back soon :)
Hi, I have just had the same experience. They are telling me the polyster one is infact bamboo.... it doesnt feel anything like bamboo. It feels silky, just like polyster. Did you ever get sent a bamboo one?
Really hate feeling misled.

Hi Krystina, Steph here :)
I am very sorry that you feel misled in regards to your Bamboo Weighted Blanket, unfortunately, as we mentioned, there was a batch of incorrectly labelled blankets and covers. Our suppliers have now fixed this issue, unfortunately, it is just a case of phasing out all of the affected items.
If you would like to return that one to us for a full refund, we are more than happy to help you with this.
I have just closed your tickets with our support agent Lucy and have contacted you via my personal email to hopefully get this sorted out for you!
Looking forward to hearing back.

I ordered 2 blankets, a kevin koala and a face mask on july 27th 2020.
I have had many email exchanges with you, the last from paris on sept 2nd, who was going to arrange for a priority shipment. Today I tried to ring and got a voice message asking me to email, and when I emailed to support@calmingblankets.Com.Au. The email ‘bounced’. Have you gone out of business?
I now wish to request a full reund of $696.99aud
I also request a phone call on 0404074262 within 2 working days. I save copies of all correspondence, and will take this up with consumer affairs, if no reply.

Hi Chris, Steph here, just following up quickly :)
I can see your cuddly Koala friend has now arrived with your granddaughter and the rest of your order has been canceled and refunded in full.
We hope she is loving her new friend!
I am so pleased that we were able to get this sorted out for you, and again, we do apologise for all of the delays in our warehouse, as promised, we have begun implementing new processes in the warehouse to ensure an overall swifter packaging routine, should you ever wish to purchase one of our products in the future, I am hopeful that your turn over will be much more efficient!

Just have a concern about the uneven weight distribution that people have complained about in their reviews.
Can you provide more information on how the beads are distributed in the blanket
1 answer
I don’t find it a problem. The internal ties keep it in place inside the cover. It does bunch up a little at the bottom but the weight is still evenly distributed. I just shake it out in the morning. It’s not enough that it affects the intention of the blanket.

Hi Bec, I'm very sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the size of your Kids Weighted Blanket, and are having some trouble with the blanket bunching.
Here's what our website says about the kids sized blanket:...
Read moreBlankets for children (which can also be used as lap covers) are 91cm x 121cm and weigh 2.2kg. We also offer a 4.5kg blanket for kids which is the size of an adult single blanket (198cm x 122cm). If you like, you are more than welcome to send your Kids Weighted Blanket back to us and exchange it for the 4.5kg - this one is an adult single size blanket but still suitable for children over the 25kg mark. I am positive that the 4.5kg blanket would suit your son better - please send me an email at steph@calmingblankets.com.au if you would like to swap that one and I can send you a return label to cover the cost of sending that one back to us. :) In regards to the blanket bunching, the inner weighted part of the blanket should be attached to the outer cover via the six 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 am hopeful this should solve your issue! Hope to hear back soon! - Steph
