An Australian mother's invention, the Woven Woven weighted blanket, has been named one of Forbes' 'best things of 2025' and is earning rave reviews from parents. The blanket, designed by a mum named Joey, was born out of her desire to help her newborn sleep better.
Joey created the blanket after finding that her grandmother's 40-year-old, 2kg cotton-filled blanket worked wonders for her daughter. Unlike modern weighted blankets filled with beads, Joey's design uses 100% natural cotton fibre and Australian ultra-fine merino wool, making it bead-free and breathable.
The Woven Woven blankets are made from certified organic cotton and are hypo-allergenic, gentle on young skin, machine-washable, and durable. They come in weights from 1.5kg to 2.2kg and are available for different age groups, from babies to older children.
According to the brand, the ideal weight for a weighted blanket is about 10% of the user's body weight, and parents should ensure children can comfortably lift the blanket. The blankets have received five-star ratings from shoppers.
Woven Woven is currently offering a 5% site-wide discount as part of a Black Friday sale, applied at checkout.
