Best Weighted Blankets Australia 2026: Our Complete Guide
Best Weighted Blankets in Australia
Weighted blankets have become one of the most popular comfort products in Australia. Whether you want better sleep, something calming for your child, or just want to feel cosy on the couch — a weighted blanket delivers.
We have sold thousands of weighted blankets to Australian families, and the feedback is overwhelming: once you try one, you don't go back. Here is our guide to choosing the right one.
How Weighted Blankets Work
A weighted blanket is heavier than a regular blanket — typically filled with glass beads or poly pellets that distribute weight evenly across your body. The gentle, even pressure feels like a firm hug. Many people find this calming and grounding, which is why weighted blankets are so popular for sleep.
The general guideline is to choose a blanket that is about 10% of your body weight — but ultimately, it comes down to personal preference.

Smaller than a full blanket, the weighted throw is perfect for the couch, reading chair, or lap. Most portable option.
Weighted Blankets for Kids
Kids love weighted blankets just as much as adults. Parents tell us it is the single product that made the biggest difference to their child's sleep routine. Our kids sizes start from 2kg.
A weighted blanket can be part of a calming bedtime routine: bath, book, weighted blanket, sleep.
How to Choose the Right Weight
- 15-25 kg (kids): 2-3 kg blanket

- 45-70 kg (adults): 5-7 kg blanket
- 70-90 kg (adults): 7-9 kg blanket

This is a general guide — go with what feels comfortable.
