Frustrated
Our blanket keeps bunching up and so hard to even out, its frustrating constantly waking up in a mess. I wish it was evenly distributed like it states but it does not.

The bunching! Always with the bunching!
When I first got this blanket I absolutely loved it, though 2 weeks in, that all changed. The blanket constantly bunches! Even after shaking it loose and trying to flatten it out it just keeps bunching! The internal ties are useless and keep breaking. Definitely would not buy another.

Hi Alex, I'm very sorry to hear that you are having some trouble with your blanket.

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 occuring, 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! As you mentioned that the ties have snapped off, could you please email us at help@calmingblankets.com.au with the subject line "ALEX PRODUCT REVIEW" and some photos so that we can send you a replacement cover right away, as that certainly isn't up to our usual standards. We would love to regain your faith in our company! Hope to hear from you soon :)Calming BlanketsCalming Blanket

Moves doesn't stay in place
First time using a weighted blanket I like that it is heavy. I dislike that the insert moves and can bunch up and make the blanket really heavy to fix up.

Calming blanket
Sadly didn’t work at all , very disappointed as We were desperate for this to work for our little one .
Small sizes bearly covered my toddler and the weight was not evenly weighted even though ties were on the correct spots .
It slide off a lot and she didn’t like the weight of it at all . We tried for almost two weeks but it didn’t help at all , actually made her worse :(
Such great reviews but sadly money wasted for us :(
The cover itself was gorgeous and soft though
Absolutely gutted

Found the child's blanket too small and the adult one would be too heavy for the child so a bit disappointed but the concept seems good. Keeping it anyway and might order the adult one in the future. Disappointed at the size

Like the weight
The weight is perfect. How ever there is to much movement in the filling even though I have tied all the ties probably. And often need adjustment. Deciding if I will get another style

Really not for me
This was a horrible, suffocating experience for me. I am autistic, and I couldn't stand this at all - it made me feel crushed and struggling for breath. No words I can impart are strong enough to share how negative of an experience this product was for me (it absolutely entirely robbed me of a few nights sleep until I stopped trusting the reviews of other people and trusted in my own experience).
That said, the company paid for return postage (if I remember correctly), and promply refunded with no argument. So worth a go, if you think this *may* be your / your child's thing.

Way too small to be functional
Info says the weighted blanket is not recommended for children under 2 years of age (completely understandable) yet the kids blanket is the size of a cot blanket. Far too small even for a 3 year old in a single bed. If we use it side ways in order to keep her body warm, her feet hang out. If we use it length ways to cover her feet, it’s not wide enough to keep her body warm.

More cons than pros.
I bought a minky and a bamboo weighted calming blanket in a two for one deal.
Pros - I like the weight, I do not kick my legs around so much.
My husband cannot just reach over for a cuddle so I sleep uninterrupted by him, but this is also a con.
Cons - They are soooo hot, no one in my family can handle sleeping with the minky blanket so we do not use it.
The minky blanket bunches up unevenly, which makes it hard to use, even while sitting on the lounge.
The bamboo blanket slides off me while I am asleep and I need to drag it up every so of...Read more

BLANKET ARRIVED MOLDY!
I purchased the Adult Weighted Blanket for a gift for a family member suffering from health issues.
When we unraveled the blanket it was moldy inside!
Aside from the lack in quality for a high price , a product promoting health benefits arriving in an unhealthy condition is beyond disappointing.

Poor Design and Poor Customer service (DON'T BUY SINGLE ADULT BLANKET)
I bought an adult blanket for myself but I am not 100% satisfied with this product.
This blanket is meant to be a sleep blanket not just a couch blanket.
The length and width of the blanket is not enough for my height and sleep posture (My leg sticks out of the blanket).
Also the weighted blanket, which is tied inside the cover, does not provide an evenly distributed weight and hence not stable enough during sleep (the inside weight moves and I have to readjust the weight).
In summary the design needs to be improved to synchronise the weighte...Read more

We try and make our sizing clear on all our product pages with detailed measurement/specifications, as well as diagrams. The Adults Single Size Blanket is a single doona size and is advertised as such. It measures 198cm x 121cm making it perfect for most adults. It ensures the weight is mostly focused on the user. We understand that the Single Adult size may not be the right size for everybody and would love to find the right size blanket for you! We really want to make sure that your experience with our company is a positive one. As such we can certainly look at exchanging your blanket for a larger size or organising a free return and full refund. Something that many companies are not willing to do. I believe your email has now been responded to. Please let us know via email response the best way to resolve the issue and we will sort the problem out for you ASAP!

Questions & Answers
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.
Calming BlanketsCalming Blanket
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.

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.
