1. The Science & Our Blanket
What makes Woven Woven different from traditional weighted blankets?
expand_more
Most traditional weighted blankets use shifting glass beads or plastic pellets to create weight, which can cause irritating noise and uneven pressure. Woven Woven blankets are 100% bead-free and filling-free. Inspired by a 40-year-old family heirloom, we integrate the weight directly into the sheer density of premium natural fibres. This creates a completely silent, seamless, and even distribution of Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) that looks beautiful in your home.
How does a weighted blanket help an overstimulated child?
expand_more
Many modern children end the day feeling "tired but wired." The gentle, even pressure of our blankets utilises Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) to communicate directly with a child’s autonomic nervous system. It acts as a neurological switch, lowering cortisol (the stress hormone) and encouraging the release of serotonin. This helps the body transition safely out of a "fight or flight" state and into a calm "rest and digest" mode.
Which material is best for my child: Bamboo or Organic Cotton?
expand_more
Both are highly breathable, OEKO-TEX® certified, and safe for sensitive skin. However, if your child is a "hot sleeper," prone to night sweats, or experiences active eczema flare-ups, we highly recommend our Cooling Bamboo. It is naturally hypoallergenic and possesses incredible moisture-wicking properties to regulate temperature. For all-season comfort and breathable warmth, our Certified Organic Cotton is the perfect choice.
What if my child doesn't take to the blanket immediately?
expand_more
It is completely normal for some children to need a few days to adjust to a new sensory input. We recommend introducing the blanket slowly during quiet daytime activities—like reading on the couch or in a "calm down corner"—before transitioning it to overnight use.
2. Sizing, Safety & Care
How heavy should a weighted blanket be for a child?
expand_more
Pediatric occupational therapists generally recommend that a child's weighted blanket should be approximately 10% of their body weight. We offer tailored sizes for growing bodies: 1.5kg (for ~15kg), 2.2kg (for ~22kg), and 3.0kg (for ~30kg).
Why shouldn’t I buy a larger blanket to cover the whole bed?
expand_more
For a weighted blanket to be therapeutic, the weight needs to be concentrated directly on the child's body, not spread out across the mattress. If a blanket is too large and hangs off the sides, the pressure is "diluted" and the calming effect is lost. Our sizes are intentionally designed to provide a concentrated "mighty hug."
Is there a minimum age or safety limit for using a weighted blanket?
expand_more
Yes. Safety is our absolute priority. Weighted blankets should never be used on babies or toddlers under 3 years old. The child must always have the physical strength and motor skills to easily lift and remove the blanket independently.
Can my child sleep with the weighted blanket all night?
expand_more
Absolutely. Because our blankets are made entirely of highly breathable natural fibres, they do not trap heat like synthetic minky fabrics do. They are safe for overnight restorative sleep, provided the child is comfortable and can remove the blanket independently.
How do you wash a heavy knitted weighted blanket safely?
expand_more
Our bead-free knits are designed for easy home maintenance. Simply machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle using a mild detergent. To preserve the natural fabric's quality and shape, we highly recommend laying it flat to dry in the shade to prevent stretching.
3. Shipping, Returns & Warranty
Do you offer free shipping in Australia?
expand_more
Yes, we offer free domestic shipping within Australia. Standard delivery usually takes 3-5 business days. Please allow 5-10 business days during peak periods (like Christmas) or for rural destinations.

What is your return and refund policy?
expand_more
We accept returns within 14 days of the purchase date, provided the item is unopened, unused, and in its original seal (due to strict hygiene reasons). If you request a refund to your original payment method, a 15% restocking fee will be deducted to cover handling and original freight. Alternatively, we offer the full amount as store credit. Return shipping costs are at the customer’s expense.
Does Woven Woven offer a warranty?
expand_more
Yes. We offer a 12-month limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and faulty workmanship. This does not cover normal wear and tear from washing, or damages caused by rough use (e.g., pulled threads, stains, or cuts).
Can I claim my blanket under the NDIS (Australia)?
expand_more
Yes. If you are Self-Managed or Plan-Managed under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), our therapeutic blankets can often be claimed under 'Consumables' or 'Assistive Technology'. We provide a compliant Tax Invoice with every purchase to assist with your claim.
