Customer Reviews
I bought Sam the sloth and the shirt that says good days ahead. My brother-in-law lost his love and has been fighting depression ever since. Sam the sloth got delivered on the day that he was really struggling to keep it together. The real like hug he got from sam comforted him so much. I was so excited to hear his feedback that I bought Quinn, the koala for myself.
As always quality products with a lot of passion put into them!
The animals are so cute and definitely are soothing. The tees are well made and add an additional essence of cuteness.
My grand daughter loved it
Good quality and a great encouragement
Love the saying it looks so adorable on my koala
My husband loves cats, but he lives in a memory care facility and can’t have a real one. I ordered the blue hug animal cat, Frankie, and it has made my dear husband so happy. He sleeps with Frankie and shows him to everyone. The weight makes him feel real, and the calming effect is so wonderful. I highly recommend it!
My husband and I both have one. Him the cat and I the pig. Love how they feel like they hug back. The darn things even absorb body heat and hold on to it for a while making them more cuddly and snuggly. Gotta love it!
The tee is a nice way of adding a personalized touch to your Hugimals, and it might help to keep them clean between hugs.
A Hug for You Tee
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!
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.
