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

Pookie the Panda 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 Pookie or let his 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, Pookie provides an instant wave of calm when you need it most.

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

  • Size: 65cm x 56cm / 25 in x 22 in
  • Weight: 1kg / 2.2 lbs weighted arms
  • Features: Extra long arm design for easy hugging
  • Material: Ultra-soft, premium fur for maximum coziness. Made of environmentally friendly and allergy-free synthetic fur.

Even with weighted arms, Pookie 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 Pookie's fur.

Frequently asked questions

Pookie uses 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.

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

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

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

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

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

OMG!

I lost my hubby October 23, 2024 after a 50 year marriage. I still live in the home we created and raised 3 children in for 43 years. Our hearts grew larger with 6 grandchildren. I have such support from family and friends but I struggle each and every day trying to figure out what my life looks like now. I was scrolling through social media on July 11, 2025 and came across the advertisement for Pookie the Panda. I convinced myself I didn't need a stuffed animal at 69 years old. I went to bed and the next day was on my phone on Facebook when it popped up again. I went for it and ordered it. Over the last 10 days or so I have second guessed myself and told myself how dumb I must be to pay over $50.00 for a stuffed animal. Pookie arrived today and let me say he is so stinking cute and cuddly and I have held him now for over 4 hours. I have literally felt my breathing to be calmer and less stressful already. So if you are scrolling and wondering if you should buy this or not, please do. You will not be disappointed!

The panda is so soft and fluffy, and I love the way its paws hang with their weight. It makes me feel like I’m hugging a baby.
