Hugimals Benefits

HELPS KIDS & ADULTS FEEL CALM: Developed with doctors & therapists to lower stress and anxiety and increase calm in kids, teens, and adults through weighted Deep Touch Pressure.
WEIGHTED ALL OVER TO HUG YOU BACK! Hugimals weigh a substantial 4.5 lbs each, and unlike most other weighted plush with weight clumped only in one area, Hugimals have their weight distributed evenly throughout their body, head, arms and legs, for the blissful feeling that they are hugging you back.
EMOTIONAL COMFORT TOOL: Hugimals' facial expressions are intentionally neutral to support you in feeling any emotion in a no-judgment zone.
SENSORY BENEFITS: Weighted Deep Touch Pressure can help anxiety, stress and sleep. It can also help with focus, making Hugimals great study or work buddies.
SOFT AND LOVABLE: Extra-soft fabric provides a soothing tactile sensory experience.
MACHINE WASHABLE EXTERIOR: Weighted with non-toxic glass beads sewn into a secure removable weighted insert, which allows for machine washing of the outer plush.
SELF-CARE FOR ALL: Hugimals are a fantastic source of both comfort & sensory support for kids, teens, adults and seniors.
THE GIFT THAT HUGS THEM WHEN YOU CAN'T: When you send a Hugimal to a loved one, it will deliver all the loving hugs you can't always be there to give.

Love my cuddly sloth<3

I decided to get Sam the sloth as a gift for myself as I was going through a really tough breakup. I also really struggle with anxiety. I’m now cuddling with my sloth every day, and having him on my chest is really soothing and really helps me fall asleep at night. He’s like a kind little friend who is always there waiting for me when I need to relax or have a hug. Love him so much and so happy i got him<3

Love my Iggy the Bunny Hugimals💞

Iggy the bunny is soft, well made and perfectly weighted. I also love that it comes with a washable cover. It is great to sleep with or just to hold while watching a show. I wish every therapist office had an Iggy.
I have gifted a bear and two dogs to people with anxiety! Even if you don’t personally need one, they make an amazing gift to people with anxiety, autism or your friends who are going through a rough time.💞💞💞

Love Hugimals

I ordered Harper the pig and am in love.

Surprising quality

Weighted throughout the body, fur is high quality and super soft, super cute, winner.

So adorable and perfect to hug!

Gift

Hugimals I purchased is Christmas gifts. Didn’t want to wait to buy them in December.

Cam the capybara

Had no clue this would be so instantly relieving of my racing heart and anxiety the moment I laid a Hugimal on my chest. Borrowed my daughter’s gift of the Hugimal rabbit and laid it on my chest during a panic attack. Instant relief I’ve never gotten any other way. Ordered Cam the capybara the same day for myself! He has helped tremendously just sleeping at night and also during stressful moments. Highly recommend!

He Thinks it’s A Donkey

My friend said that his son loves the figure.
But thinks it’s a donkey.
I forget the name he gave it.
But if it helps him sleep better, who’s to judge.
Very well made.
Highly recommended.

Very Comforting! 5/5!!

My hugimals definitely gives me comfort as an adult. It is perfect for cuddling and sleeping. I also love to curl up on the couch and watch movies with him after a stressful day. I really like the weight (4.5lbs). I did notice some minor quality issues with the seam on his foot, and his head doesn't look quite straight (maybe that is intentional?), but I've learned to overlook those details because he cuddles so well and I really dont notice those thing unless im really looking for it. I am looking forward to getting another one in the future. The ability to wash the outer layer is also a great feature that other companies dont have. I still give it 5 stars!

How do our weighted products work?

Similar to a big, comforting hug, the weighted pressure (aka Deep Touch Pressure) in our products brings on a relaxation response from your parasympathetic nervous system — and tamps down a fight-or-flight response from your sympathetic nervous system. When one of our weighted self-care products is placed on your lap, chest, or tummy, your body begins to lower production of the stress hormone cortisol and increases production of the “calming” neurotransmitters, including oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine, helping you feel comforted, relaxed, grounded, and secure.

Deep Touch Pressure has also been shown to help with sleep, as well as focus & concentration, making our products excellent bedtime companions and study/work buddies!

Enjoy the calming hugs!

FOCUS AND CONCENTRATION: Weighted pressure can help with focus, making Hugimals great study or work buddies when placed on a lap (like a weighted lap pad but way more adorable!).

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TOOL: Hugimals’ neutral expressions are specifically designed to allow you to feel any emotion in a judgment-free zone (no forced smiles here.)

SENSORY BENEFITS: Hugimals’ extra-soft fabric provides a soothing tactile sensory experience, and their calming colors are inspired by the natural colors of river stones.

SELF-CARE FOR ALL: Unanimously positive reviews from our children's hospital pilot program show that Hugimals are "a fantastic source of both comfort and sensory support" for children. Our Gen Z and Millennial fans use Hugimals for self-care, stress relief and to help with sleep. They make great gifts!

This is an information diagram showing how to remove a Hugimal's weighted insert and wash the outer plush.

REMOVABLE WEIGHT: Your Hugimal is weighted with the same non-toxic glass beading used in many weighted blankets, sewn into secure sections within a removable weighted inner body for added safety.

WASHABLE! (AND WE DON’T MEAN SPOT-CLEAN ONLY): The weighted inner body is fully removable, allowing for easy washing of outer plush. We recommend washing the outer plush in a cold, gentle cycle. Best to wash in a laundry bag. Then hang dry.

BLISSFUL, FULL-BODY HUGS: With their weight distributed throughout their head, body and limbs, you feel the soothing sensation of your Hugimal “hugging” you back.
