5 Jayden  · It's actually really good quality and does keep you cool on those hot days or to help keep a fever at bay.
5 Sharon  · Since purchasing the cooling blanket i get a better nights sleep no more hot and cold Very happy with purchase and will buy another
2 KIDSX3  · Not a cooling blanket – Its nice and soft, but does not cool you ..big gimmick product, actually keeps you warm .
5 Christine B.  · Great service – Light and comfortable. Very relaxing in heat in the tropical climate.
1 Zzz  · Doesn't work – Pillow still gave me a huge headache and didn't improve anything.. the cooling blankets were just light but not really 'cool'
1 Fee  · Disappointed – A local newspaper works just as well. Does not even live up to even low expectations

The cooling blanket is not cooling at all!! It is the same material as a sleeping bag and causes you to overheat. They wouldn’t give me a full refund, they only offered a partial refund. I only kept the blanket to use it for winter because it keeps me so warm! Definitely not as advertised - great for winter but not for keeping you cool, that’s for sure! Show details

I have actually bought 4 of these blankets. 3 King size for my bed, so I can swap them over when I wash them. And 1 Queen size for my sons bed. I sleep hot, and I have found that this blanket keeps me at perfect temperature for a very comfortable nights sleep. I absolutely love them. I have decided to use this blanket instead of a top sheet under my doona in the winter as it is so nice to sleep under. Show details ·  1

The blanket was more like a sleeping bag, three of us tried it, all overheated. I tried to return for refund, they wouldn’t let me, by the time I got my order the return policy was finished. Surely there must be some consumer law covering their tricks for the customer. Shocking. Show details

I'll never use another blanket – I bought my cooling blanket when they first came out. The idea of putting on a blanket because you're hot sounds ridiculous, but for some crazy reason this blanket really works. I feel the heat really badly & the summer affects my life quite severely. I also have hot flushes & night sweats since menopause. This blanket has been my saviour during… Read more

these last few years. I highly, highly recommend it for anyone. I can now sleep easily during the hot summer nights. They come in lots of sizes too & there are several beautiful colours to choose from.

I saw the cooling blankets online and thought they'd be great for my teen who has always been a hot sleeper. I was right. She loves her blankets and so did her sister so I purchased more. Very happy with the product and service. A bigger colour range would be good too. Maybe purple or navy? Show reply

I posted a negative review, because the blanket is not cooling at all, it’s just a flimsy thin overpriced blanket and a total con. Now they’ve been harassing me to get me to delete my review for a refund. Buyer beware, this is a complete scam. And no doubt a lot of bad reviews have been withdrawn because of the harassment.

DO NOT PURCHASE. UPDATE- On 12 August 2025 I was again contacted by a Pain Free Aussies representative and offered $50 to take down my review. I will not be bribed as my review is honest and I believe the public has a right to know my experience. Please consider why there are not many negative reviews and do not purchase. UPDATE - On 02 April… Read more

2025 I was contacted by a representative of Pain Free Aussies and offered $40 to take down my review. I have refused and requested instructions on how to return the product for a full unconditional refund, I have received nothing.

I would rate minus stars if possible.

The worse product I have ever purchased. I brought 3 blankets for 3 different households and 5 people had the same result. These blankets do not cool and this product is a scam.

When I requested a refund they used hygiene as an excuse to not accept a return and full refund. I was offered a nominal $60 on the whole order.

This company should be ashamed of itself.

DO NOT BUY - Purchased this blanket and it did not cool as stated I was so hot using it. I contacted the company and was assured that I had to let the blanket air out and let it get used to my body and use a ceiling fan, all of which I had done. So I did all this again and then contacted them again stating that it still was not a cooling or… Read more

Their 30-day money-back period starts order date not delivery date. My money back period had expired before I received it. Please thoroughly ready return policy. Regardless of their claims.

not at all cooling, when I contacted them I was told it might be the room temperature. or I might need to get used to it. It is supposed to have icecooling technology.

The pillowcases were just 100% polyester they were promoted as having icecooling technology on sale for $29.98 each. But what I received were basic polyester pillowcases. Polyester is not a cooling fabric!!! They were a completely different fabric and not even close to the same colour. Supposed to much the blanket. They are supposed to have icecooling technology.

After seeing my review on trustpilot they rang and offered me a 50% refund if I removed the review and a full refund if I gave them a 5-star review. Guess I miss out on the money. So I'm here spreading the word. These people are scammers.

misleading and worst ever company to deal with – I placed an order ordered in october 2024. Received December 2024. I applied for a refund almost right away as advertisement states 30 day money back guarantee. I was not happy with the quality of the blanket and did not work as a cooling blanket. I was told the 30days had lapsed since purchase, how ever it was received 60 days after placing… Read more

order. After many many emails, complaints and leaving a negative review, they still refused for many different ‘reasons’ and kept offering $50 refund only, many many times ( it was a $175 order) i finally received a return label for a full refund, providing i deleted the negative feedback, which i did. They replied with several emails stating that just because i received a return label/returned items, doesn’t mean i’d get a refund but can offer me $50. Again many emails later and i have finally received a full refund , now feb 2025.

Terrible company to deal with and definitely do not recommend!

This company and their products are a complete scam, 1000's of comments online of refusals to refund and products that are NOT as described or advertised. Their products are cheap and nasty and have absolutely no cooling properties… Read more

what so ever, in fact the exact opposite is what you get is to be overheated and sweaty, avoid buying anything from them at all. TOTAL SCAM ** Now they are stooping to blackmail, so that their scam can continue, only if I remove the review will they provide a refund, even though I have returned the goods as requested and met all their ridiculous requests and demands **. AVOID BUYING FROM THEM AT ALL COSTS **

Ice cooling calming blanket- false advertising? – On 31/10.24 I bought the "ice cooling calming blanket" from painfreeaussies.com.au/ for $74.99. I was under the impression that this would be sent from within Australia, it arrived from China on the 12/11/24. I saw on their site many people who were highly praising their blanket, I had been skeptical to start with but the reviews on their site… Read more

about the blanket altered my thinking. The first night I slept on it I found that I had not felt any cooling at all, the following night either. In fact, what I found was that I was hotter than usual as I had only been sleeping with a top sheet. My conclusion was that the blanket had no cooling ability at all. I wrote to painfreeaussies.com.au telling them that I had concerns that the blanket was not cooling and asked them why. The blanket does not work for everyone, they explained, because different body temperatures or room conditions can affect the blanket's performance. For this they suggest adjusting the room temperature and/or using the cooling blanket with a lighter sheet!= and staying hydrated t0 assist in regulating body temperature. They suggested I give myself more time to adjust to having a new blanket! I wrote back telling them that I thought what they had written was a load of rubbish - I was sleeping in a room with air-conditioning and a ceiling fan. I told them I would be sending the blanket back to them and that I wanted a full refund. I added that I felt they were guilty of false advertising. Their reply - I got the following spiel: The Cooling Blanket is made of highly breathable materials, allowing air to circulate through the fibers. This breathability helps in regulating body temperature by allowing heat to escape and cool air to enter, creating a cooling effect. It also has moisture-wicking properties, meaning it can quickly absorb and evaporate moisture (like sweat). As the moisture evaporates, it cools down your skin, providing a cooling effect. We apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment you experienced. Our Quality Assurance dept thoroughly checks our products and conducts multiple tests to ensure their quality and reliability. We've sold hundreds of these and have received great feedback for them. However, we understand that suitability, preferences, and results still vary for each individual. They offered me $20 cashback or a gift card worth $35. See attached 'email 14Nov24'. I refused this offer, telling them that I will be sending the blanket back and was wanting a full refund - their response was to tell me that I could not return it due to hygiene reasons. that once the blanket has been used they cannot be resold or reused due to "contamination risks". I then asked them to send me a copy of the tests carried out and the results they have given of these tests. Adding, "Not that I believe tests done by quality assurance can give a scientific analysis needed to prove its effectiveness". A tone of frustration not to be overlooked. Part of their response - I do appreciate that you may be seeking more detailed scientific evidence to support their effectiveness. Unfortunately, the test results themselves are not typically made available to customers, as they are internal assessments conducted under controlled conditions. Discussions continued..in one email they told me why the blanket does not work for everyone, they explained. Different body temperatures or room conditions can affect the blanket's performance. For this they suggest adjusting the room temperature and/or using the cooling blanket with a lighter sheet! Staying hydrated to assist in regulating body temperature. Each disgruntled email I sent they would offer me a larger refund, the initial $20 become the offer of $50. I continued to refuse their offers and felt it was time to upscale the dispute. I was astounded that the decision chose to take their side of the dispute and I could do nothing but accept this. I wrote a review here and on Trustpilot about my experience dealing with Painfree Aussies. Then I wrote to them conceding my loss and saying how I would accept their offer of the $50 refund. I was surprised when they wrote saying they would pay up on the proviso that I delete or revise my reviews, giving me the html addresses of both reviews. I dutifully went to both sites and wrote a revision, failing to keep a copy of my initial review. My $50 refund went through. After a few days had past, most likely still feeling bruised over having now paid $24,99 for a trashy, cheap "blanket", I came back here and wrote about this - yet again another negative review. I got a Dear Biff email from PainfreeAussies asking me to remove the new review and that they would refund me 100%. Their next email gave me instructions on how to do this! So in I came, removed the review, making a copy of that review before doing so. In my account was the deposit of $24.99. Thanks to productreview.com.au for being here supporting people, like myself and you, by giving us the space to air our bad experiences dealing with companies such as painfreeaussies. The companies who appear to openly deceive buyers into purchasing items that are not what they describe, false advertising, and feel okay about doing this. At the end of the day, I got a 100% refund of monies paid - I am happy :) But I was left holding the "blanket".

Beware the ‘cooling blanket‘ – These blankets are advertised as cooling. They are not. They are advertised as being of good quality. They are not. They are advertised as coming with a 30 day money back guarantee. The guarantee is not genuine. If you are unhappy with the blanket‘s quality, performance, feel, or believe you have received a product that is way inferior to that… Read more

which was advertised, as will be the case, they will tell you that these things are ‘change of mind‘ or ‘personal preference‘ and they will refuse to refund your money. It‘s a scam, the company is dubious, and the use of ‘Australian‘ in their title is likely just part of the charade.

Stung big time – I wish I had read these reviews and not the ones on the pain free aussies website which raved about them , I really got stung I bought 3. Didn't try it out till it got hot, expecting to feel more comfortable, instead woke up in a few hours in a lather of sweat, the blanket certainly didnt aborb moisture like it said. I threw it off and immediately… Read more

felt cooler.I sent email to company .Their reply was to have Windows open and a fan on, like who doesn't. I asked if I could have a refund for the 2 unopened. After tooing and froing I was told it was over the 30 day limit. That fact wasn't in evidence in the package. I agree with others, in a bag with no literature on its use or maintenance , seems a bit of a dodgy company. Don't buy these blankets, do not recommend these at all.

Bad customer service – Bought the ice blanket in good faith. They sent a double instead of a queen size which I ordered and paid for in Nov 2024 and received in Dec 2024. Made with inferior material, flimsy and probaby not fire safe. Gave them plenty of time to send me the correct ordered, with numerous emails back and forth and so called promises of sorting this… Read more

issue which never happened. Final email from them in Jan 2025 to say that is was too late for refund even though they had a whole month to resolve the issue. Total scam people be aware. Definitely not in Australia

Cheap and non-breathable – I bought 2 cooling blankets last year. They are not cooling at all even with a fan on and air conditioning. They don’t breathe at all so I end up sweating worse even in a cold room. The pillow cases have no cooling effect at all, they are just cheap synthetic material and nothing special. The shipping time was exuberant. I would not recommend these blankets to anyone. A complete waste of money. Show details

Misleading product description, nothing cooling about this “cooling” blanket – Pain Free Aussies advertise their cooling blanket as having advanced cooling technology. Upon receipt the blanket is simply a polyester filled blanket. There is nothing “advanced” about this blanket and it certainly doesn’t “cool”, in fact it keeps you warm rather than cool. Completely misleading product description and a rip off at the price.… Read more

A Good Night's Sleep – These blankets are so soft and light that you hardly know they are on the bed. I have been diagnosed with MS for 40 years and getting comfortable in bed has always been a problem but these blankets have solved that. Not only do they help to keep me cool in summer they also keep me warm in winter. They are so good that my husband uses them as well and I would recommend them to anyone. Show details ·  1

False advertising – Made of nylon and polyester, this blanket is flimsy, and works to retain and amplify heat. When I reached out, I told that it is best used with a fan or air-conditioning, which defeats the purpose of having a cooling blanket. Was offered $35 refund from a $160 order (2x blankets) Show details
