Sleep like a Koala
Anxiety can cause me to wake in the early hours and not return to sleep. I can feel scared and unable to stop negative thought after negative thought. Physically I feel nauseous and have hot sweats…
I’m Kirsten, and I have been given a Koala blanket to trial. This is a therapeutic weighted duvet with a cover – one side is silky cool and the other is soft pile for colder nights.
It says on the website that the blanket is eco-friendly and durable and “it’s made from bamboo and cotton and took us 15 prototypes and hundreds of fabrics to get it perfect!” Wow. That’s impressive. And I think it was worth all that effort because they certainly seem to have got it right.
The first night I used the Koala blanket we still had warm summer weather so the cool side it was. I expected to get too warm but surprisingly felt comfortable.
I am now using the soft pile side as the temperature has definitely fallen. And it is so cosy!
It’s actually quite difficult to keep awake once you cover yourself with the weighted blanket. It makes me feel safe and secure. And I no longer wake in the early hours. I get a great night’s sleep with no disturbance.
Looking at the website, apparently the blanket uses deep touch technology to “calm the central nervous system to help stabilise your stress levels, increase relaxation and improve sleep.” Well, that certainly resonates with me!
The cover washes up lovely but takes a while to air dry. Make sure you follow the instructions to put it back on as it is much quicker than trying to do it your own way.
I’m looking forward to spending winter nights snuggled under my Koala blanket whilst watching a good film or doing some therapeutic crochet!
In summary, I haven’t had such a good night’s sleep for a long time! I would definitely recommend the Koala weighted blanket to help you sleep and/or to just feel warm and cosy!

AVOID! AVOID! They will never approve a review like this on their website because they don’t want bad publicity (She wrote it but it never got posted). TERIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! She bought the blanket as a gift for me using their online calculator to get the proper blanket for him. I used it for a couple of weeks and IT’S AFFECTED my HEALTH!! We had to go on holidays for a couple of weeks and he decided to give the blanket another try when we come back. I started using it again thinking that he just needs to get used to it. But I started to experience terrible back pains and kidney pains when he was sleeping with the blanket on and it was way to heavy. We decided to contact Koala customer service explaining the situation and as we didn’t want the money back we kindly asked if we could exchange it with a lighter blanket instead. They said NO! If your product causes serious damage to the consumer you should go the extra mile to make customers happy as they will probably buy more in the future. I am extremely disappointed that we spent £120 on a blanket that we cannot even use! Me and my wife had worked in retail for many years and if I ever had a customer complaining that he had bad HEALTH problems because of the product that I was selling, I would offer a full refund or exchange even after 1 year from the date of purchase. THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD DO IT KOALA!!!
