Bamboo Weighted Blanket Review
The Bamboo Weighted Blanket forms part of the Woosah Blankets range that also includes the Minky Weighted Blanket with Cover.
This review is based on the 7kg size.
Purchase and delivery
The Bamboo Weighted Blanket can be ordered online through the Woosah Blankets website and it will arrive at your door in a good quality, cardboard box.
Once your order is placed, it will be shipped within 24 to 48 hours, via Australia Post. Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an order confirmation email along with a tracking number.
Comfort and quality
The bamboo fabric feels soft and silky. It also has a nice, cooling touch.
The 7kg blanket is the mid-size in this collection. The Bamboo Weighted Blanket with Cover had a nice level of weight and should feel soothing for people ranging from 50-80kg. As you will see below, lighter & heavier sized blankets are recommended for lighter and heavier people.
This blanket regulates temperature well. We found it to be cool initially but held heat nicely after 10-15 minutes.
The edges of the blanket are finished with a section of stitched fabric, and also the zipper.
The finer details
The bamboo cover is machine washable on a gentle cycle. This means that it should be easy to keep your blanket clean. Bleaching the cover is not recommended, and tumble drying is recommended on a low setting. An iron can also be used on low heat.
One impressive design feature about this blanket is the dual zip design. To remove the outer cover (for washing), you need to unzip the small zipper, and then unzip the larger zipper.
The larger zipper is important as it keeps the inner section of the blanket in place during use. This removes the frustrating situation with a blanket or a quilt where the cover and inside come apart.
It’s worth mentioning here that the Bamboo Weighted Blanket comes with a 30 day guarantee. We assume that this means that you can return the product for a refund if you are not satisfied.
Available sizes
In terms of dimensions, the Bamboo Weighted Blanket is available in 1 size – 122cm x 198cm.
For perspective, an Australian queen size mattress measures 153cm x 203cm.
In terms of weight, this blanket is available in 3 sizes – 5kg, 7kg and 9kg.
It is recommended that 5kg sizes be used by people 35kg-55kg, 7kg sizes be used by people 55kg – 80kgs, and 9kg sizes be used by people 80kgs and over.
Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2024.
Final verdict
The Bamboo Weighted Blanket is a lovely weighted blanket that has a clever dual zip design. It is comfortable and should provide a soothing sleep and relaxation accessory, for most people.

Do you have trouble relaxing?
Our bamboo blankets and cooling weighted blankets for summer are designed to ground your body as you sleep by pushing it horizontally. This ‘earthing’ process is proven to have a profoundly calming effect on the mind and body, resulting in decreased anxiety and stress levels.
‘Earthing’ reduces nighttime levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that is produced when your brain elicits a fight, flight, or freeze response.
By counteracting high cortisol levels with a deep pressure touch, a Woosah weighted blanket can leave you feeling relaxed and boost healthy sleeping patterns. This can trigger the release of dopamine and serotonin- the feel-good hormones that combat stress, anxiety, and depression!
