Great Sleep Changes Everything.

And we mean everything.

Your mood, immune system, memory, energy levels, motivation and mindset all do a happy dance when you get a good night’s sleep.

Well rested folks (a.k.a Sleep Heavy customers) make the world a brighter, calmer and happier place.

Good sleep is your secret weapon for happiness. Our weighted blankets make sure everyone gets to experience the benefits of quality sleep — especially those who struggle with relaxation and getting to sleep at night.

Made With Love, Engineered By Science.

Our weighted blankets use a method called ‘Deep Pressure Stimulation’ to relax your body and calm your nervous system.

The weight of your blanket triggers your body to make a switch from using your sympathetic nervous system (SNS) to your parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS).

Basically, your body will go from “fight or flight” mode, to “rest and digest”.

Mimicking the feeling of a comforting hug, our blankets help your heart rate slow, muscles relax and serotonin and melatonin to be released. It’s as if your entire body takes a deep breath, and calm washes over you.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m a hot sleeper, will Sleep Heavy blankets make me overheat?

Not at all. Although our blankets are heavy, they’re designed to be breathable, especially our bamboo and cotton blankets. Cotton and bamboo both helps regulate your body temperature by absorbing and retaining heat from your body, keeping you the perfect temperature all night long.

Can I return/exchange my blanket if I get the wrong weight?

Yes, of course, so long that it’s within 30 days. Simply send us an email to support@sleepheavy.co.nz to let us know you'd like to return or exchange your blanket.

How long does shipping take?

Your blanket will be dispatched from our Christchurch warehouse, and will be with you within 2-5 business days. Rural areas may take a day or two longer.

How will a Sleep Heavy weighted blanket help with my anxiety?

Our weighted blankets use a method called Deep Pressure Stimulation. The weight from your blanket encourages your body to make the switch from fight or flight to rest and digest, bringing a sense of calm and peace to your mind and body. You can find out more about how our blankets work here.

Working well.

I purchased this for my brother in law with special needs and he has said it is good. It also doesn't drop off his bed like other blankets and he seems to be having a better night sleep.

Can’t sleep? Restless nights? Tossing and Turning? Look no further! Sleep Heavy is the solution

My King Mink 9kg blanket has been an absolute dream I’ve had trouble sleeping for the last 32yrs and I must say I’m having the best sleeps in my entire life now that I have a Sleep Heavy. The beads are evenly distributed which makes moving your weighted blanket much easier than others on the market. This size completely covers my Queen sized bed and hangs off with plenty of blanket to give you a safe secure embrace to help ground you and bring some relaxation while you drift off safe and secure. Give them a go, they offer a 30day Money Back so no one has an excuse not to try this therapy. It’s truly amazing and helped me and therefore everyone around me lol. Thanks guys❤️❤️❤️

Changed my whole world! Highly recommend purchasing a Weighted blanket for unsettled restless sleepers

I have had my King size Mink Weighted Blanket for a couple of weeks now and I will say that I have had the most restful relaxed sleeps I have ever had in my entire life!. For those having stressful sleeps this helps settle and calm and ground to drift off to sleep with ease. If your thinking about it, and you have been dealing with Early Childhood Trauma, I highly recommend you give a Sleep Heavy Weighted Blanket a go x Added bonus dealing with the customer service team has been a dream. They are extremely helpful and swift with enquiries. Glad I choose a Sleep Heavy! I think everyone needs one in their life at least.

Best blanket I have purchased!

This blanket is amazing. It's great for when I have anxiety and need to have some calming time, I put it over me and within 10 minutes I'm calmer and grounded. It also helps with sleep as I have restless legs and wake up often during the night, however I have a full night's rest with the blanket. Thank you.

Just what she needed

I bought my daughter this blanket on the advice from a professional. Easy to use website and prompt delivery. The best thing is that it’s given her the opportunity to sleep well throughout the night. Would absolutely recommend. Thank you

Without doubt, a life changer!

This blanket is money well spent. It has literally changed my life. It is hard to explain how it feel and what it does, but all I can say is just try it. If you suffer from anxiety or if you need comfort, just give it a go. And no more night sweat…. Added bonus.

Great for comfort and feel secure

It has been great for my daughter and it makes her have better sleeps.She takes it to where ever she goes. Great for people with restless sleeps . My mother tried it and she found it hard to turn around being older and more fragile.

Great blanket but avoid sunlight

The blanket is great and the team was super helpful with everything. Just be super wary of getting direct sunlight on it, as it has faded and now looks super stained in a way that can't be fixed

Best gift!

I love my weighted blanket. My sleepless nights have diminished and I feel much more rested. Cover is great that it can be unzipped and chucked in the wash. Would definitely recommend.

Met or exceeded all claims

The weighted blanket did everything you said it would. We particularly appreciated the thought that went into details like the outer cover and the ties so that it would perform best with the fewest hassles. Also appreciated the solid construction; we've got pets and have moved it around and it is enduring well!

Perfectly snuggly

Absolutely awesome for a person like me who needs something breathable but heavy to sleep under, even during the summer! These blankets are so snuggly and stop me from wriggling around all night while remaining comforted! Can’t recommend enough. The price is definitely worth it as I’ve had mine for years and years with no visual wear and tear :)
