The range also includes a mattress in a box which starts from $149 to $299, an ultra-premium 1000 thread count fitted sheet set from $79.99 to $89.99, luxe slippers, pyjamas and gown from $5.99 to $16.99 and a pillowcase and eye mask set for $39.99.

According to Healthline, weighted blankets help people with anxiety, insomnia and other conditions as the extra weight mimics a therapeutic technique called deep pressure stimulation which relaxes the nervous system.

When the blankets went on sale last year, they were known to sell out within minutes, angering some Facebook users who missed out.

However, there is bad news for Sydney, as select special buys won't be sold in areas in lockdown, which includes all of Greater Sydney, Wollongong, Central Coast, Shellharbour on the NSW south coast and the Blue Mountains.

"As the lockdown continues, we have expanded our measures to protect our customers," Aldi Australia confirmed to Yahoo Lifestyle in a statement.

"By analysing historic sales data, we are removing a range of high-demand Special Buys, like weighted blankets, TVs and outdoor furniture, from our Wednesday and Saturday on-sale dates in stores located in NSW lockdown areas. We will be communicating the products each week to our customers.

"We understand that specific Special Buys drive increased demand and we believe pulling these offers will reduce the reason for someone to leave their home outside of the need to do essential shopping. "
