This collection of cuddly critters are wonderful companions for adults and children alike. They include weighted plush friends, and sleep companions.
Long arm friends are weighted to give extra special hugs and calm anxiety in adults and children.
They also love sitting on your lap like a warm friend, just there with you, keeping you company throughout your day.
Great for anxiety and emotional support.
Popular with people on the ADHD and Autism spectrum (our nondivergent friends)
Some have textured panels (like Cory Croc) that are fantastic for those that are touch soothed
Weighted item safety
Weighted blankets and toys, while sometimes used for calming or sensory purposes, can pose a suffocation hazard, particularly for young children and individuals with certain medical conditions. The weight and design of these products can, in some cases, lead to entrapment or difficulty breathing, especially if used unsupervised or incorrectly.
Generally recommended to be less than 10-15% of their body weight.
Babies are usually 8 pound= 3kg, so items should be less than 300grams
1year olds are about 9kg, so items should be less than 900grams
Some items on the market are 2-3kg. We specifically choice our weighted range to be safer for young children at only 450g-650g, with a selected range at 1kg for older children and adults
