I'm an adult man who works a blue collar job - not who you'd expect to have a stuffed animal. My life has had some significant bumps in it and mental health can be a struggle. Emory has proven himself as a bastion of solace for me. He appeases my inner child and makes him feel safe and innocent once again.
Thank you, Hugimals. Emory has made a difference and brought value to my life.
I got Bowie the Panda for my adult daughter for Christmas and Forrest the Fox for myself. We love them. They are cute, soft and very nice to cuddle. Would definitely recommend. We got the t-shirts for them as well and even though they were on the pricey side they look very cute in their shirts. Would definitely recommend!
I love the weight, its perfect. Would have liked the arms to be longer for more of a hug effect as an adult.
I bought the elephant for my grown daughter who was going through a difficult time . She loves it and continues to thank me for the gift . I didn’t realize it was going to make such a big impact on her. It was worth every penny .
Our grand kids had a couple Hugimals. We had not seen them before. My wife fell in love with them. Got her the elephant for a Christmas gift, she loves it. Well made, nice weight, and huggable!
$68 is a little steep, but I was able to get mine on sale around the holidays. Such a comforting weight, and the material is so soft!
The main complaints I saw in other reviews were about the seam and the button attachments for the insert.
The buttons where the insert connect to the head make a little bit of a dent that’s visible from the outside, but it’s not distracting to me.
The velcro seam for the insert, though it’s obviously there, blends in fine and if you take the time to line it up and close it flat does not provide a distraction either.
I’m very happy with the way she sprawls out with the weighted arms and legs when you’re sitting or laying down.
I spent a lot of time reading reviews before I purchased because of the price, and the steep pricetag is why not 5 stars. However, I’m ultimately really glad I got her on sale and I’m satisfied with my purchase!

Got Forrest the Fox for myself for Christmas and I love him. Soft, cuddly and feels nice to cuddle him like a warm hug!
Great for putting 8 year old (who is a terrible sleeper) right to sleep
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.
