WHY WEIGHTED?
A little weight.
A comforting feeling.
Explore the thinking behind weighted comfort, and what the research can—and cannot—tell us.
UNDERSTANDING WEIGHTED COMFORT
The idea behind
deep pressure.
Deep pressure stimulation describes firm, gentle pressure applied to the body. It’s one proposed explanation for why weighted products can feel comforting. Researchers have explored weighted blankets for sleep and anxiety, with promising results in some clinical studies—including reduced anxiety symptoms in a trial involving adults with insomnia and psychiatric conditions.

Huggle Healers brings a weighted, wraparound feel to a soft animal companion. With 4.5 lb of distributed weight and extra-long arms that drape around your shoulders, each character is designed for comforting cuddles and everyday wind-down routines.
Research on weighted blankets does not establish the same benefits for weighted plush animals. Huggle Healers are comfort companions, not a treatment for stress or anxiety.

in your everyday.
