I babysat for a friend whose daughter had a stuffed plushie. I sat with it in my lap, just casually holding it. About half an hour went by before I realized…it was kinda soothing! I wanted my own. That night I did my research, compared brands, & spents days deciding which one i wanted! I watched the shipping updates like a hawk. Its been a few weeks and ive loved it since it arrived. Ive taken my bear on long distance road trips, overnight stays out of town, or ill just lay on the couch with it spread across my chest while i scroll tiktok. My Hugimals provides a much needed element of comfort to concious and/or subconscious stress inducing tasks & experiences. I want to design & create small shirts & garments to personalize my Hugimals. I tell all of my peers about it and plan to gift one to a close friend who i think would benefit from. If youre curious- i say BUY IT & and happy hugging <3
Plushies are exactly as described! Love the weight and quality. One of the plushies had an issue and I raised it to customer support and they immediately fixed it by replacing it for us with no cost and let us keep the plushie that had an issue! We'll be keeping our new one while the old one was manually fixed and donated to a charity!
If someone informed me 4 years ago that I would be sleeping with a weighted koala bear for support ... my laughter would have shaken the rafters. Yet here I am, 6 months into the death of my spouse and clutching "Quigley" as a comfort in the night. Believe it or not ... this weighted creature calms my body which has been in flight-or-fight mode for months now. Acute grief has triggered my body and emotion state into a high alert status. This Hugimal is proving its weight in gold and provides me with a physiological calming effect. I sleep more hours now with less nightly periods of wakefullness. Thank you for this product. I am grateful to have found your company ...
Very helpful and explaining as well as answering my questions . Amazing customer service
This was great for my daughter who is constantly asking for hugs. I haven't been able to try out warming it, but I like that it can be warmed or cooled.
Thank you to Hugimals for sending another bunny to me when my shipment was not received from USPS. It was well-worth the wait, as a quick hug with the bunny is pure joy at the end of a long day! It instantly relaxes me, and I so appreciate it :)
The products are well made. Recipients enjoy the beauty and functionality. Thank you.
My Sam the sloth was lost in the mail and I was so distraught. After some investigation I still didn't locate him. I reached out to customer care and they replaced him for free. I will definitely be buying others! Wonderful customer service. I really felt heard and cared for. 10/10
i've struggled with really severe generalized anxiety disorder and general loneliness for years, which can be extra bad when i'm trying to sleep. having this plush on my chest and cuddling with it actually manages to help a bit. i'm a bit disappointed that it's not warmable like i thought it was (the Hugaround types are instead) but that's my own fault for not doing further research. as someone with really severe allergies who has tried other anxiety-relief plushies that were unfortunately scented and triggered a reaction, this has been such a blessing.
I ordered my hugimal a couple years ago and I still love it just as much as the day I ordered it!! Quinn the koala brings me so much comfort, especially if my kids arent home or my husband is out of town. The weight of the hugimal laying on my chest relieves anxiety and calms me down. Love it so much !
I purchased several of these weighted animals for myself. I find them very comforting, not unlike the weight of a dog leaning against you while sitting on the couch. My one star off rating is due to my preference that the larger animals be a bit floppier. Almost like the “arms” of the wrap around versions, to have a more blanket like feel.
Omg I love my penguin so much it feels like I’m being hugged when I’m falling asleep 😴
I am a back sleeper and I lay my little hugimal on my chest when I go to sleep. I swear that I've been able to fall asleep quicker ever since I made this purchase. It's the perfect weight, heavy enough that it's not crushing but also not too light. My sister in law loved it and bought herself a Sloth. I really hope they come out with a Wolf option in the future, but for now I settled for the Cat!
I sent Sidney to my mom for Mother's Day. She texted me a wonderful review: "Oh my... I'm sitting here, blubbering with my weighted sea turtle wrapped around me! He's adorable, & very comforting!! Thank you so much!! I love you"
I reached out regarding an issue with my order and it was resolved instantly. Thank you so much!!
I absolutely love Sam. He brings me lots of comfort. He is so soft and very well made. Thank you so much!
I have a very diffult sleep child who is now 3. She has been a difficult sleeper since she was born. She loves her pig, I’ll place it on her at bedtime if she’s having a tough time and she loves to cuddle it, I think it has definitely helped with getting to sleep and staying asleep!
I purchased Iggy for my friend after purchasing Emory for myself. I love Emory! And she loves Iggy!
I am a special education teacher and I have purchased 8 of these weighted animals for my students. They are helpful in keeping kids feeling grounded in their bodies, reduce wiggles and also a special motivator for behavior. I tell my students that they have to teach their animal how to follow school expectations :)
We just lost our harlequin fur baby Bowie. My daughter’s aunties pitched in to find a weighted snuggle toy for my 12-year-old daughter. Bowie the Panda came up, and it was a clear sign that she needed it.
Thank you! He’s helped her transition to sleeping without our pup.
