Customer Reviews
While I was recovering from surgery, I kept seeing information about Hugimals. I am a big fan of weighted blankets, but they can be a bit too warm for Texas summers. I loved the story of the company, so I purchased Charlie the Puppy. Charlie was just what I needed to comfort me through the pain and help with sleep during my surgery recovery! I was so pleased that I ordered one for my granddaughter. She chose Sam the Sloth, and she was equally excited for the comfort of a Hugimal!

Lovely gift for my granddaughter
I purchased one for my youngest grandson birthday, but the other two grandkids wanted one too. This gift is great for all ages.
My daughter has had anxiety issues for most of her life. Silvie Sloth has been wonderful for her to hug on. Thank you for inventing this!!
I am so impressed with how soft and well made my sweet, cute, comforting, and cuddly Sam the Sloth is, as my new Hugimal. I’ve tried a few other brands, but I was greatly disappointed in that the materials they used were cheap and the fabric was not soft or durable. Hugimals are the only way to go, buy far the best!
Arms aren’t long enough
I ordered Sammy for myself but my granddaughter quickly claimed him. We may have to buy him a friend.
My wife and I always fight over who gets to sleep with Sam, our new family mascot. The hugs are so nice and help both of us sleep so much more soundly.
Loved them so much we bought Frankie for my sister, who has the same problem sharing with her husband!
The sloth is the perfect weight ! it came super fast and he’s just so cute !
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.
