• EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TOOL: Hugimals' facial expressions are intentionally neutral to support you in feeling any emotion in a no-judgment zone.
• SENSORY BENEFITS: Weighted Deep Touch Pressure can help anxiety, stress and sleep. It can also help with focus, making Hugimals great study or work buddies.

• MACHINE WASHABLE EXTERIOR: Weighted with non-toxic glass beads sewn into a secure removable weighted insert, which allows for machine washing of the outer plush.

Quinn the Koala

I love him and I hug him every night! I’m 58 yrs old with major anxiety and when I lay Quinn on my chest at night the anxiety just floats away and I get to sleep so much faster. Best thing ever invented!

Sleep!

I was born with insomnia. I’ve never been a good sleeper, tossing, turning, getting up, looking out the window. I get weary but not tired. You call him Quinn, I call him Wally Koala. He snuggles up with me and for the first time in my life I can get 2.5-3 hours of sleep. It may not seem like a lot to you but it’s a miracle for me. Wally is perfectly weighted, and so soft. He provides a calming effect that I never knew I needed. I love him! Try one, you’ll be amazed!

Was skeptical, but these delivered!

It’s amazing how much the weight of these makes a difference in the calming effects one experiences with the hugimals.

Koala comfort

I purchased the Koala as recommended therapy after suddenly and unexpectedly losing my husband. Not being a stuffed animal person, I was surprised how much this helps. I do strongly suggest a couple of edts in the make - the felt claws need to go. They are too scratchy. I recommend using the nose fabric or use tufts of the inner ear fabric for them. The entire animal is wonderfully soft and soothing except if you happen to brush against those "hands" and then the soothing comes to a screeching halt. Also, the inner ear fabric, it would be great if that was a little longer. I like to run my fingers through it but it's too short to be fully effective. Overall does it help? Yes, absolutely. Thanks for making these!

Better than meds

I love my weighted Quinn who I renamed Violet Crumble after the best chocolate treat in Australia. The weight is just right to help me fall asleep.

Total Perfection

I got Frankie the cat and it is perfect. I did an extensive search for the “just right” weighted stuffed animal and this one is everything I hoped for! I truly appreciate the neutral expression face. The weight is evenly balanced throughout the body and you really can feel like you are receiving a hug when cuddling up with this wonderful creature.

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!

This is an information diagram showing how to remove a Hugimal's weighted insert and wash the outer plush.

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.
