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.

Hugsback combines:
- deep pressure
- a soft texture

This makes it a tool that supports both the body and the feeling.
Where it makes the most difference
- unrest
- tension

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.
