Hoe een verzwaringsknuffel (zoals Hugsback) bewezen rust en stabiliteit ondersteunt

How a weighted hug (like Hugsback) is proven to support calm and stability

Weighted hugs have been extensively studied in recent years. The results are clear: deep pressure, in the form of a safe weight that envelops the body, helps with emotional regulation, calmness, and stability.

Hugsback was developed based on these proven principles. By applying constant, warm pressure, it supports the body during moments of tension, sensitivity to stimuli, and emotional peaks.


What research shows

Studies show that weighted aids:

  • reduce stress
  • reduce anxiety
  • improve sleep
  • stabilize behavior
  • reduce overstimulation
  • increase the feeling of security

These effects have been measured in children, adults and the elderly — including vulnerable groups such as autism and dementia.


Why Hugsback is so effective

Hugsback combines:

  • deep pressure
  • a soft texture
  • a cuddly shape
  • a safe, warm appearance

This makes it a tool that supports both the body and the feeling.


Where it makes the most difference

  • unrest
  • tension
  • sensory overload
  • moments of fear
  • transitional moments
  • sleep problems
  • emotional discharge

Both at home and in healthcare environments, the pressure has an immediate calming effect.


Conclusion

Scientific insights explain why weighted hugs bring so much peace. Hugsback translates this proven pressure therapy into a warm, accessible form that works in any situation.
