Life-Changing Comfort in a Hug

I can’t say enough good things about Hugimals. What seems like a simple stuffed animal is actually one of the most calming, comforting tools I’ve ever used—for both adults and kids.

The weight is perfect—heavy enough to provide grounding and anxiety relief, but soft and cozy enough to hug for hours. The quality is outstanding, and the stitching and materials feel premium and durable. It’s not just cute—it’s genuinely therapeutic.

Whether you’re buying for yourself, a child, or a loved one going through a tough time, Hugimals deliver emotional support in the most gentle, approachable way. My family now considers ours a must-have for stressful days, long travel, or just when someone needs a little extra love.

10/10 recommend.

Love it!

I adore my Penguin, he’s the perfect size and weight to travel on a plane or in the car. I really love the weighted wrap-around arms - and so grateful it is unscented! I only wish he had the option of a magnet on the ends of the arms to prevent him from falling off if I get up.

My daughter loves her weighted hugimals (she has both the otter and the dog) and the size and weight is wonderfully soothing!

Obsessed with my hugimal

My dad recently passed from glioblastoma, so when I saw this advertised on social media, I knew I had to order it. It has been such a comfort - I love the weight of it, and I find myself snuggling with it day and night. It makes me feel like my dad is with me. What an awesome collab!

Percy the puppy

I bought a puppy for my dad who is in the hospital with dementia. He is very calmed by his puppy always petting it. Tries to feed it at times, so glad it's washable. My sister calls it the best $100.00 I have ever spent.

Hugimals are the best

A few months ago, I discovered Hugimals—a company that creates weighted plush animals and pillows designed to bring calm, comfort, and a sense of security. They’d done their homework, especially for folks of all ages navigating anxiety, stress, or sleep struggles.

Since then, several #Hugimals have spent a hot minute or two at my casa. And believe me, I didn’t just adopt them—I tested them. I needed to know if the comfort was real.

It is.

These soft, weighted friends have helped me breathe easier, sleep deeper, and reset when emotions felt too big. They’ve even brought quiet comfort during the waves of grief that sneak in when I miss my Daddy the most.

Some of the #Hugimals I’ve had have found new homes—because comfort is meant to be shared—but these three are my keepers.

Meet Ollie the Orangutan, Sawyer the Sloth, and Darby the Bear. My little hugging crew is complete.

They may not say a word, but they remind me every day: you’re safe, you’re seen, and you’re held.
