Quinn feels so soft and the weight feels very comforting to me especially when holding against my chest. The size is perfect. Bonus for being super cute!
I purchased these as Christmas Presents. We’ll see after they open them.
I absolutely love love love love love my Hugimals panda. I named her Bamboo. She was a gift from my boyfriend to help me through separation anxiety. We're in a long distance relationship and it's very hard on me when he leaves. I cry and sometimes have a panic attacks when he leaves. But having Bamboo has helped me calm down and feel calmness which I never felt before. I have Anxiety and it's very hard for me to calm down and feel relaxed. Bamboo feels just like his hugs. Bamboo has made the separation easier. I love my Bamboo. She's the perfect plushy. I tried ordering different weighted plushies and even tried making my plushies weighted using poly pellets. But they don't help as much as Hugimals Bamboo does. She feels exactly like hugs and she gives me the comfort I need daily. She's absolutely the perfect plushy EVER made.
This is second Hugimal purchased as gift for use by granddaughter in her work as a therapist.
I can’t say enough good things about our Hugimals! These weighted animals are so much more than adorable plush toys — they bring an incredible sense of calm and comfort. The weight is perfectly balanced, giving that gentle, soothing pressure that instantly helps melt away stress and anxiety.
The quality is outstanding — super soft, durable, and thoughtfully designed so the weight doesn’t shift around awkwardly. Both kids and adults in our home love them. My child uses theirs to relax before bedtime, and I often find myself borrowing it for some cozy comfort during the day.
You can tell that Hugimals were made with care and purpose. They’ve quickly become a part of our daily routine, and I recommend them to anyone looking for a comforting, high-quality weighted companion. Worth every penny!
Darby welcomed his buddy Forrest to our house. Forrest, like Darby, is not only adorable, but has the best expressive eyes and his coloring is soothing … and his hugs are REAL.
I love elephants and when I saw Emory, decided to get it for myself as a bday gift.

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.
