About Best Blanket Australia

Our Story

Best Blanket Australia was born from a simple frustration: finding reliable, Australian-focused information about blankets was surprisingly difficult. As a team of sleep enthusiasts and home comfort experts, we found ourselves constantly researching blanket materials, comparing products across retailers, and testing options in our own homes. We realised others must be facing the same challenge.

In 2020, we launched this platform with a clear mission: to help Australians navigate the overwhelming world of blankets with honest, thoroughly researched information. We believe that quality sleep is fundamental to wellbeing, and the right blanket plays a bigger role in that than most people realise. Whether you're dealing with Melbourne's bitter winter nights, managing anxiety with a weighted blanket, or seeking breathable options for Queensland's humid summers, we've been there ourselves.

Our team has collectively tested over 150 blankets across every category—from premium Australian merino wool to budget fleece throws, therapeutic weighted blankets to high-tech electric options. We've washed them, slept under them through every season, and documented what actually matters for Australian conditions. This hands-on experience informs every recommendation and guide we publish.

What Sets Us Apart

We approach blanket evaluation with the rigour of textile scientists and the practicality of everyday Australians. Our testing considers factors specifically relevant to Australian consumers: how materials perform across our unique climate zones, whether products withstand our harsh sun when line-dried, and which options offer genuine value in the Australian market.

Unlike generic review sites, we understand the nuances of Australian bedding needs. We know that "winter" means something very different in Hobart than in Brisbane, and we tailor our advice accordingly. Our team members are spread across the country, allowing us to test products in real Australian conditions from tropical Queensland to alpine Tasmania.

We're also committed to transparency. When we recommend products available on Amazon Australia, we earn a small commission through the Amazon Associates program—this supports our research and keeps the site running. But our editorial recommendations are never influenced by these partnerships. We recommend what we genuinely believe offers the best value and performance, regardless of commission potential.

Our Research Process

Every product featured on Best Blanket Australia undergoes our comprehensive evaluation process. We examine material quality, construction, care requirements, and longevity. We test temperature regulation across different conditions, assess how products hold up after multiple washes, and compare price-to-performance ratios within each category.

Our educational content is researched with equal care. We consult textile science resources, sleep research studies, and industry experts to ensure our guides provide accurate, helpful information. When we write about topics like weighted blanket benefits or electric blanket safety, we're drawing on peer-reviewed research and established guidelines from Australian authorities.

Most importantly, we listen to our readers. The questions we receive shape our content, and the feedback we get helps us improve our recommendations. This site exists to serve Australian consumers, and your input is invaluable in helping us do that better.
