Meet Koko the Koala, a weighted stuffed animal with extra-long arms and paws that hug you back. Koko helps you stay focused, feel safe, and reduce cortisol and anxiety. Whether you're working, studying, or winding down, Koko brings the comfort of a warm hug anytime you need it.

How it works

Koko the Koala uses Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT) a calming technique that applies gentle pressure to the body, similar to the feeling of a hug. This pressure activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for helping you relax, recharge, and feel safe.

When you hug Koko or let her weighted arms wrap around you, it sends a signal to your brain that says:

"You're safe. You can slow down now."

This physical cue helps:

  • Lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone)
  • Reduce anxiety and overwhelm
  • Calm racing thoughts
  • Boost serotonin and dopamine (your happy and feel-good chemicals)
  • Support better focus and sleep

Whether you’re at your desk, in bed, or on the couch, Koko provides an instant wave of calm when you need it most.

Specifications

Koko is the perfect size to sit on your lap, wrap around your shoulders, or snuggle up with in bed.

  • Size: 73cm x 56cm / 29 in x 22 in
  • Weight: 1kg / 2.2 lbs weighted arms
  • Features: Longer arm design than ever before for easy hugging
  • Material: Ultra-soft, premium fur for maximum coziness. Made of environmentally friendly and allergy-free synthetic fur.

Washing and care

Even with weighted arms, Koko can still be washed easily!

We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth for smaller messes. For deeper cleaning, hand wash gently using mild soap and air dry.

Machine washing and harsh chemicals can affect the softness of Koko's fur.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the science behind this?

Our weighted animals use Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT), a calming technique shown to reduce stress and anxiety by lowering cortisol levels and stimulating your body’s natural relaxation response. It’s like a wearable weighted blanket, but way more cuddly.

Is it washable?

Yes! We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth for everyday messes. For deeper cleaning, hand wash gently and air dry.

Can I sleep with Koko?

Absolutely. Many people love sleeping with our weighted animals for nighttime anxiety or insomnia. Their weight and softness can help calm your nervous system and promote deeper sleep.

Is it safe for kids or pets?

Koko the Koala is designed for young adults but anyone above the age of 5 can benefit from Koko! Due to his weight, we don’t recommend it for very young children or pets.

How heavy is Koko?

Koko weighs 1kg / 2.2 lbs, just enough to provide calming pressure without feeling too heavy. The weight is placed on Koko's arms so it can actually hug you and hold on to you while you work. It’s perfect for hugging while working, relaxing, or sleeping.

What if I don’t feel better right away?

Everyone’s nervous system is different. Some people feel relief instantly, while others notice benefits after a few consistent uses. Either way, Koko the Koala is there for you for the long-haul!

* Results according to consumer studies.

Way more than any other stuffie

We felt frustrated with the other weighted animals in the market. Regular weighted animals were cute, but they never really worked. They were too small, too light, or they’d slip right off the second you tried to actually use them. 

That’s why we designed our weighted animals differently. Koko the Koala has extra-long, weighted arms that wrap around you and actually stay put while you work, read, or scroll your phone. Koko is like a wearable weighted blanket, but so much more cuddly and practical!

Wonderful Gift

I gave this koala bear, KoKo, to my mom who has dementia and has felt very isolated, especially since COVID. We weren't sure if she'd take to it, but when the grandchildren presented it to her, she absolutely adored it. It's really brought her comfort in those lonely moments. Personally, I would have loved a little smile on its face, but it hasn't bothered her at all. In fact, it's been the perfect gift.

Great gift

I bought this for my 4 year old niece, but my husband tried it out and immediately said he wanted one so I am keeping the panda (!) and he is getting the koala as he wanted a smaller head. I agree with one reviewer that the feet and stomach should also be weighted for more realistic pressure.

the Koaka is for my grandson on his birthday in December and i am sure he will love it.

I am very pleased with the Koala . It arrived in clean packaging and is very clean soft and huggable - like holding a baby.
