I loved my blanket... Until I decided to let my son try it, and he didn't give it back!
I had to order another blanket for myself, but it is good as I decided to get a heavier one.
My son is 9 and he has (probably) ADHD and find difficult to calm enough at night to fall asleep. He says the blanket helps him stop moving around and makes him feel safe.
I am autistic and I always had trouble falling asleep, the blanket really gives me a sense of security and comfort.
We both love it!

My mum bought this for me to help me sleep and ease my anxiety (which usually gets worse at night). I am 15 and have suffered with bad anxiety for about 4 years. This blanket offers a lot of comfort and support and has helped me a lot. It’s very cosy and offers a “hug like” feel when you have it over you. 100% would recommend!!

I bought a weighted blanket for my husband, mainly in desperation to try and help him sleep as he has cancer and has been getting about 4 hours sleep a night. I admit, I was skeptical but this was a last ditch attempt before a lifetime of sleeping tablets.
So, firstly I was mightily impressed with the speed of delivery. We are in France and this blanket came to us from the U.K. in the midst of the Covid-19 lockdown in about 4 days. So far, so good. I hauled it upstairs in its drawstring bag and spread it on his side of the bed - without having to fluff it up, smooth it out, spend half the day trying to get the filling even - I’m buying more of these instead of duvets. It’s so much simpler, and it looks good too.
The acid test at bedtime - normally takes him ages to get to sleep, then he’s up 3 or 4 times and gets up for good before 5am. He read 2 pages of his book and struggled to wake up enough to turn the light off. HE OVERSLEPT!!! Result!!! He’s had a full nights sleep every night for almost a week now, feels better in himself and is now mentally prepared for his chemo (still debating whether to take it with him to his sessions).
I am a Calming Blanket convert!

Purchased for my 11 year old who's had difficulty sleeping and wakes at night..first night fell asleep early which Is the first in a long time and after a couple of days slept right through .. I was sceptical, but it’s been worth every penny and I would highly recommend..great quality also and soft and fleecy..opted for adult 4.5 and is a good weight

Ok, first let me say I love the weighted blanket, it’s lovely to sleep under and I won’t be going back to my duvet any time soon BUT... there are some really annoying issues with this one. The ties which hold the inner blanket in place are inadequate. There is a big problem with bunching because they simply do not keep the inner blanket in place and a re think is required to solve this issue. Shaking it out to re distribute the inner blanket every night is really annoying. Perhaps an all around zip would work better. The Minky cover is lovely and tactile, but why is a replacement cover so expensive? £89 is nearly two thirds of the cost of the blanket and cover which seems excessive for a man made fabric and there’s no alternative unless you are handy with a sewing machine!

Ive definitely slept better since ive had my blanket, my 18 year old son is on the spectrum he has found it very comforting. We've bought 3 so far just waiting on the 3rd to arrive.

I was not sure which one to buy, so emailed and got a great reply very helpful.
Delivery was amazing, was told what day to expect delivery and that’s the day it came.
My 11 year old loves the blanket first night and had a lay in till 9 which is amazing

Mine arrived 2 weeks ago and, despite an initial period of adjustment, I can truly say that my sleep has improved. I fall asleep quicker and wake with less aches as I used to. I no longer toss and turn with worry. I love the all over hug it delivers.

I bought the 6.3kg blanket for my 8 year old who suffers with night terrors, anxiety and sensory overload. We used it last night for the first time. As soon as I put it on her, she smiled and said she loved it - snuggly, warm and felt so nice. For the first time in forever she slept through the entire night!!! Not one cry, scream or groan. Usually it takes 1-2 hours for her to settle and fall asleep - she was asleep within 10 minutes! Now I know we have only used it for 1 night, but the 1 night has already made such a positive impact for our whole family, I had to write a review!!

Bought the blankets on Wednesday and day arrived on Friday!! Read on the net that weighted blanket helps with stress, anxiety and autistic kids.....so I wanted one for myself and my autistic girl. We bought wake up all the time!!! This company had the best price for a very nice quality blanket (got 35% off)...so went for Calming Blankets UK.
First night with blankets and my girl looooves it!!! She slept all night and woke up so happy I don't normally sleep with lots if blankets.....but slept like a baby with this one. It's soooo soft and like a hug.....It's quite hot too.
Will defenitely recommend for people who like to be warm and don't mind the weight. Best buy!
**I bought the 6.8kg for me and 4.5kg for my 11 yrs old.

My husband purchased one of the weighted blankets for our anniversary! BEST PRESENT EVER! I struggle with sleeping and this has helped. Would highly recommend

After receiving my blanket, I was amazed at the calm I felt when I first put it over me. Weirdly it was like the sound had been muted around me but I actually think the 'buzzing' in my head just quietened! I've been very stressed, and this has helped already. I describe it to others as similar to getting into a much longed for warm bath - that feeling of "Ahhh" - warmth and comfort surrounding me, instantly calming. THANK YOU!

Love love my blanket. I was a bit sceptical however after a week of using it I defiantly feel I am having a better more restful sleep.
The only problem now is I can’t sleep without it. Make sure you buy the cotton cover for summer though, the plush cover is amazing just a bit warm for Aussie hot summer nights!
Rest easy

I love my Calming Blanket.
It arrived quickly after ordering it.
I purchased the 9kg Adult size blanket, with the minke cover and a spare cotton cover.
I have not yet tried the cotton cover but I have the mink cover on and it is so soft and silky smooth.
I am Autistic, and have, and a few mental health issues. Which make sleep a huge problem for me. With this blanket I have already noticed my sleep is much better and laying under it when I’m feeling stressed or overwhelmed feels like I sink deep into my bed and cocoon myself which is calming for me.
I highly recommend getting one if you have anxiety or sensory processing disorder.
In fact I am thinking of getting one ( light weight) for my daughter who is also autistic and has sleep disorder too. She keeps trying to steal mine but it’s too heavy for her.

I’ve suffered from Insomnia for around 11 years and have tried alllllll sorts to get a good nights sleep.
I thought long and hard about investing in one of these blankets and I can honestly say even tho I’ve only had it a little while, I’ve gotten seriously amazing results already!!
I actually love it so much and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is unsure.
Staff are so amazing and helpful too

I have had mine for nearly a year now and its changed my life in such a positive way. My legs no longer thrash everywhere and my anxiety reduces so much when in tucked under it.

I am very impressed, and this is only my second night with the product! Last night my sleep was amazing. And tonight it has eased some stomach cramps. Looking forward to seeing the assistance throughout my anxiety. Definitely recommend!
