Stress is unavoidable, so finding ways to unwind and feel calm is essential for both kids and adults. Weighted stuffed animals like Hugimals offer a unique solution for stress relief, promote feelings of calm, and enhance the quality of your sleep.
With their innovative features, including their even weight distribution for the feeling of hugging you back, their emotionally supportive facial expressions, their calming colors inspired by river stones, and their machine washability, Hugimals can help both you and your loved ones live with less stress and more cuddly comfort. Here’s how:
1. Hug and be Hugged for Instant Stress Relief
You can hug any stuffed animal, but only Hugimals hug you back! Hugimals’ unique design — a Hugimal’s weight is distributed throughout its body, head, arms, and legs — enables this weighted plush to provide a comforting embrace that mimics the effects of a hug. Hugs have been proven to relieve stress by bringing on the release of calming neurotransmitters like oxytocin, lowering stress hormones. Whenever you feel overwhelmed, simply place your Hugimal on your shoulder, tummy or chest so it gives you a hug, and feel stress levels fall.
What customers are saying:
“This sloth is weighted/proportioned perfectly..and made a huge positive impact on day, one relieving anxiety, and one of my precious students I work with. Thank you!”
2. Get Emotional Support in a Stressful Moment
While many stuffed animals have big smiles, Hugimals come with sweet and neutral facial expressions. Hugimals were designed with the help of psychologists, who suggested a neutral expression rather than a big smile in order to support any emotion the user is feeling without the feeling of judgment (if you’re not feeling like smiling, you probably don’t want a plush looking at you with a big smile!) Use your Hugimal for emotional support when you feel stressed as well as the physical support of their weighted deep touch pressure.
What customers are saying:
“My Hugimal’s calm little face makes him look like he’s ready to listen to all you have on your mind & then give you a hug to say it’s going to be okay.”
3. Transform Your Sleep Routine
Hugimals can be a valuable addition to your bedtime ritual. The deep touch pressure provided by your Hugimal before sleep can reduce stress and help you fall asleep faster. Your Hugimal’s comforting hugs can encourage a peaceful transition into a more restful sleep.
What customers are saying:
“My Hugimal has been a Gift of Sleep. His weighted body next to me in bed has given me 7 straight hours of sleep after struggling with sleep for years. His weighted body comforts and calms. I gifted one to my grandson as a study buddy and anti anxiety pal. Bravo Hugimals.”
4. Gift the Gift of a Calming Hug
The calming colors of Hugimals, inspired by serene river stones, help when you’re trying to create a tranquil vibe. Hugimals’ super-soft plush also provides a soothing tactile sensory experience when you pet your Hugimal’s fur up and down.
What customers are saying:
“I am so happy to have found your company. Your weighted stuffed animal has brought much comfort to my girlfriend who has been away from home for many months. Thank you again for being so amazing!!”
When stress and anxiety strikes, having a Hugimals weighted stuffed animal can make a world of difference. Incorporating these suggestions to live with less stress, and help loved ones do the same!
