Forrest the Fox
Customer Reviews
I’m very happy with my purchase. The item is adorable, soft, and well made. You can really see the care put into the product. Thank you for the lovely item and great service!
Beautiful item, great quality, and exactly as described. Very happy with my purchase!
Sammie is so huggable. I just love him. He's just the right size and weight for resting comfortably on my chest.
I recently lost my wife to cancer. I needed a new hugging buddy to not feel so alone. I purchased this wonderful weighted plushie to help me. I love it so much. It really feels like you’re hugging something real and that it’s loving you back. The weight is perfectly distributed throughout the animal. The outside also comes off and is machine washable. Great product overall. Highly recommend and will definitely be getting more Hugimals in the future!
This is my first weighted plushie purchase & I must say I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to actually get one. I’m 34 & a huge collector of plushies & the quality of Forrest is absolutely amazing! He’s a nice, large size & so soft & cuddly! He really helps with my anxiety & sleep too. It’s like hugging a real baby! I love him so much! :)
Frankie is such a sweet source of comfort. He's the perfect size and weight and is oh-so-soft; I love rubbing his fur in multiple directions for a wonderful sensory experience. I absolutely love having him on my lap, embracing my shoulder, or laid across my chest while I read in bed.His weight also makes him an excellent little spoon for cuddling while sleeping: he provides a real presence. He's incredibly well made. I'm delighted to have found Hugimals at a time in my life when my nervous system could use the support, and I've always been a fan of stuffed animals even into adulthood. It's such a treat to have a well-sized and weighted stuffed friend suitable for all ages! 5 stars to customer service as well, who helped with a transit issue due to the terrible winter storms we've had this year. They were friendly, attentive, quick to respond, and with a demeanor that perfectly suited the Hugimals brand vibes.
Gave to my grandson for his birthday. He loves him!
Love them! The wraparound bat is absolutely adorable!
I hope to receive promotional discounts because my daughter has autism and always wants all your products. She follows your products online, and whenever she sees a new product, she keeps saying she wants it and cries. I have to save up to save up to buy your products because they aren’t available in Sweden. Here, the only option is to get them from America, which means I have to pay large sums for customs, shipping, and other things, unfortunately doubling the price. So, I would also like to thank you very much for your kind and professional service, and I wish you all the best.
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!
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.
