Transform Your Sleep Experience with the Neptune Knitted Weighted Blanket
The Neptune Knitted Weighted Blanket sits in a different category to traditional weighted blankets. Same calming weight, but the open chunky-knit weave breathes through the night — so you get the deep-pressure feel without the trapped heat that puts a lot of Australian sleepers off bead-filled blankets.
What customers tell us about sleep with the Knitted Weighted Blanket
The most common feedback we hear:
- Falling asleep faster — the gentle weight on the body settles racing thoughts. Most customers notice the difference in the first few nights.
- Fewer wake-ups — the consistent pressure throughout the night seems to help people stay asleep longer.
- Less restless tossing — partners often comment that the person under the blanket moves less during the night.
- Cooler than expected — the open knit lets heat escape, so it doesn't feel like sleeping under a doona in summer.
Why the knit weave matters for sleep
Traditional weighted blankets are bead-filled — fabric pockets stitched into a quilt with glass or plastic beads inside. The beads provide the weight, but the quilted fabric traps body heat. Many customers love the calming effect but struggle with overheating, especially in Australian summers.
The Knitted Weighted Blanket solves this. The weight is built into the chunky chenille knit itself — there are no inner beads, no quilted pockets, no trapped air. The open weave means body heat escapes naturally, so you stay covered without sweating.
Choosing your weight
The standard guideline for weighted blankets is around 10% of body weight:
- 50-70 kg adult: 5-7 kg blanket
- 70-90 kg adult: 7-9 kg blanket
- Couples sharing: size up to fit the bed, weight to suit the lighter sleeper

How customers describe the feeling
"It feels like being held without being smothered. I sleep through the night for the first time in years." — Renée, QLD
"My anxiety has been brutal this year and the blanket has been one of the few things that consistently helps me wind down. I drape it over my chest as I read before bed." — Sam, VIC
"My husband and I share a queen one. He runs hot and was sceptical about a weighted blanket. The knit weave changed his mind — no overheating, just gentle weight." — Linh, NSW
What it pairs with for better sleep
- The Cloud Pillow — memory foam with a cooling cover
- A weighted eye mask for blocking morning light
- The Chill Blanket as a base layer in summer
Care and longevity
The Knitted Weighted Blanket has a removable, machine-washable cover. The inner blanket is built to last — chunky chenille knit holds its shape through years of use. Lay flat to dry; don't tumble dry.
