Who should adopt a placid puppy?
They are designed to comfort during sleep, or day support for those who are sensory soothed (through the extra soft plush fabric) and weight soothed and comforted, supplying that hug-back feeling
Weighted toys are designed to mimic the sensation of being held or hugged to provide deep pressure simulation. This type of pressure can be calming and grounding, reducing anxiety, improving focus, and supporting emotional regulation. They are particularly helpful for individuals with sensory processing disorders, anxiety or stress, or ADHD.
Main Benefits of Weighted Toys
-
Calming and Anxiety Reduction:The weight helps to calm the nervous system, lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone), and promote feelings of relaxation and happiness
-
Improved Focus and Attention:The gentle pressure can help individuals with attention difficulties stay present and engaged in activities.
- Emotional Regulation:
-
Weighted toys can provide a sense of security and control, helping individuals navigate difficult emotions.
-
Sensory Regulation:They can be particularly helpful for those with sensory processing disorders, as the deep pressure can help regulate sensory input.
-
Better Sleep:The weight and pressure can mimic the feeling of being held, promoting feelings of comfort and security, which can aid in falling asleep easier.

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
