The short versionEach animal weighs 2.2 lb (1 kg) and has extra-long weighted arms, so the pressure lands across your chest and shoulders the way a real hug does. It's called Deep Pressure Therapy. Every animal is developed with therapists, and they're all 30% off right now with 3 free gifts.

Some days your body stays switched on long after the day is done. What helps most then is a proper hug, and there isn't always someone around to give you one.

That's what our weighted animals are for. Wrap one around you, let the weight settle across your shoulders, and give yourself a minute to come down from the day.

The long weighted arms are what make it feel like a person is holding you, and they're the first thing people notice.

The weight settles across your shoulders straight away, and your body starts to unwind before your mind catches up.

2Feels like a real hug

The arms hold you the way a person would, with steady, even pressure across your chest and back.

“Pookie is the hug I didn't know I needed. He literally melts my stress away. I bring him everywhere.”
Jessica Lee, 27· Pookie the Panda

A hug for every part of your day

At your desk, on the couch, in bed or in your bag.

4Deep Pressure Therapy

“It actually kind of feels like someone's hugging you.”

Steady, gentle weight helps your body feel safe enough to settle, the same idea behind weighted blankets. How it works

5Wind down at night

Something soft and heavy to hold while the day switches off. Plenty of customers keep theirs in bed.

It fits in your bag, so it can come to the office or on a long flight with you.

7 animals, all with the same long weighted arms.

Why it feels like being held

It comes down to the arms: long, weighted and made to wrap around you and stay there.

There's a name for why it works: Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT), the same idea behind weighted blankets. Steady, even pressure across your chest and shoulders feels a lot like a hug from someone you trust.

That kind of pressure is thought to help your nervous system shift out of fight-or-flight and toward rest. We develop every animal with a network of therapists, and each one is designed to help your body calm down and lower cortisol, the stress hormone.

Worth saying plainly: it's a comfort tool for everyday stress, and it works best alongside any professional support you already have.

Questions before your first hug

Is it just for kids?

No. Most of our customers are adults dealing with work, study and long days. It's also safety certified (CPC and CE) for ages 5 and up.

Where do people use it?

At the desk, draped over your shoulders while you work or study. On the couch after a long, overwhelming day. In bed as part of winding down.

The Original weighs 2.2 lb and fits in a bag, so plenty go to the office and on flights too.

Which weight should I get?

Every animal comes in the Original, 2.2 lb (1 kg), an easy everyday hug. Pookie the Panda also comes in a Heavyweight, 5.5 lb (2.5 kg), with velcro arms and a heat and cool pocket for deeper pressure.

Will it actually work for me?

Everyone's different, which is why every animal comes with a lifetime money-back guarantee. If it doesn't feel right for you, you get your money back.

What are the free gifts?

Three: a gift bag, a workbook and an audio meditation, included for a limited time.

How do I clean it?

The fur is ultra-soft and allergy-free. Spot clean or hand wash to keep it soft.
