Sleepheavy

Sleepheavy is a New Zealand-based online-only retailer that sells weighted blankets, covers and sleep accessories. Price points sit in the mid-range band: single 5 kg blankets start around NZD $139 and top out at NZD $269 for a 11 kg king, while bamboo or minky covers add NZD $59–$79. All transactions are handled through the brand’s .co.nz site with nationwide courier delivery; no physical stores or third-party stockists are used. The company’s core proposition is medical-grade deep-pressure relief using 100 % cotton, Oeko-Tex certified glass micro-bead fill and 10-tie internal fastening to stop bunching. Every blanket is available in six weight options (5–11 kg) and two sizes, a granularity few Australasian specialists match. A 30-night trial and free returns policy reinforce confidence, while carbon-neutral shipping and recyclable packaging support eco claims. Customers are 25-45-year-old professionals and parents who self-identify as anxious, light sleepers or shift-workers and want a drug-free relaxation aid. The aesthetic is neutral and minimalist, appealing to design-conscious Kiwis who value local customer service and ethical material sourcing over bargain pricing. Sleepheavy competes in the weighted-blanket vertical against global marketplace sellers and domestic bedding chains. It differentiates by holding inventory in Auckland for 1–3-day delivery, offering weight-specific guidance from a local support team, and bundling trial/return cover that mass-market listings either skip or charge extra for.
