As someone constantly on the lookout for anything which can help me handle my very annoying collection of anxiety disorders, I'd been aware of weighted blankets for a while but had always been somewhat hesitant to take the plunge. Cost, worries about figuring out which weight would work best, and doubts about whether it would really help all gave me pause. During the early lockdown here in the UK, while starved of hugs, I invested in Kevin the Koala – who instantly became indispensable (as others have said, he's not just for kids!) Fast forward to October 2021 and after a difficult period with my mental ill, winter approaching, and with a very generous Black Friday sale and the reassurance of Calming Blankets' 30-day guarantee, I finally decided to take the plunge and buy a blanket. I'm so glad I did. In fact, my only regret is that I didn't go ahead sooner. I wanted something which was machine washable, bead free, and usable across all seasons – so I chose the woven blanket. That it was one-weight-suits-all also counted in its favour. It's soft, has a colour and style which looks lovely on the bed (and matches Kevin), is generously sized (completely covers my IKEA double) and can stretch to let the air through or bunch up if you need to be snugglier. I've now been using it for four nights and I wouldn't give it up if you paid me – once I throw it off me in the mornings so only the duvet remains on me, I wonder how I ever slept without its comforting weight. Lying on my back, the tension seems to drift away from my legs and arms: I get a sense of relaxation and warmth. If I lie on my side, it feels like the blanket is hugging me. With both Kevin and this purchase I received superb service from Calming Blankets. I ordered the blanket at 9pm on a Saturday night, got a message on the Sunday saying it had been dispatched, and it was with me at 2pm on the Monday. Exceptional. If like me you're hesitating, do give it a try if you can. I don't think you'll regret it.

This blanket has honestly worked miracles. It’s instantly calming and I’ve never slept so well. I can’t recommend it enough.

I already had a weighted blanket which sadly I managed to get caught on my bed and ripped, lost a lot of the beading from it. I love the fact this doesn’t hve beads and has the airflow which will help in summer. Only had it one nights so far, and I can’t wait to get into bed and use it again already!!!! If you have never tried calming blankets and struggle with anxiety / stress / sleep, I recommend them!

One of my friends highly recommended your calming blanket but I’ve hesitated for a long time because of the price. I have finally purchased it for my birthday last month and I’ve been loving it so much! I should have bought it ages ago! Since my first pregnancy, followed by sleepless nights with little babies (and even when they are a bit older ), I don’t think I’ve had a proper night sleep for almost 9years. And now with this blanket, I sleep a lot better!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I don’t hear my kids noises during the night, my husband usually comes to bed after me but I never notice anymore. I’m happy that I’ve got the woven one, it looks good on my bed .

Wow! I’ve been using my new Calming Blanket for a week now and absolutely love it! My dog and husband also love it too and it’s often been stolen by them. It’s incredible how much better I’m sleeping and waking up feeling refreshed and calm. I have anxiety and have felt such a relief this week even though it’s been extremely stressful week. Thank you so much! We will absolutely be purchasing more.

Hand Woven blanket I was a little hesitant until I heard they have a 30-day money back guarantee so I thought, no harm in giving it a go. I won't be needing to use it though! The woven blanket is beautiful just like in the photos and feels like a big soft hug on top of me and all around me. Being winter I use it underneath another thin doona as suggested to keep warm. It's super stretchy and the cost is 100% justified once you see it in person and feel it.

I absolutely LOVE this blanket! I love it more everyday! I love that it has no beads or ties... I love the style and colour. I love that I can stretch it out to allow airflow through from the ceiling fan, or bunch it up for extra warm and weight. When I wake up I feel so contented and "hugged" that I linger and take in that peaceful feeling before I commence my day. I did hesitate to buy it because of the price, but with a discount code I took the chance and now I am so glad that I did. I tried a cheaper type that doesn't come near all the qualities and feel of this blanket and wish I had just got this one right from the start. I can't say enough how I just LOVE this blanket!

Its an amazing product and the weight isn't uncomfortable and doesn't shift around throughout the night! Its a fight every night to get the calming blanket between me and my family! Would totally recommend buying one!

When even your cat climbs under the blanket after a long day, must be good!
