Hugsback Advice

A Hugsback is more than just a weighted toy – it's your faithful companion for rest, sleep, and security. Our tips will teach you exactly how to use, clean, and care for it properly, ensuring it lasts a long time.

Manual cleaning

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth and, if necessary, a little mild soapy water.

Be careful with the filling

To protect the weighted filling, we recommend not putting your Hugsback in the washing machine.

Extra fresh tip

Let your Hugsback air out occasionally (on a dry day) for a lovely fresh feeling.

How do you clean your Hugsback?

A Hugsback is made to be your companion for years to come, but like any loyal cuddly toy, proper care is essential. This keeps it clean, soft, and hygienic, without damaging the material.

 
 

How do you use your Hugsback?

A Hugsback is there for any moment when you need peace, security, or just a warm hug. Here's how to get the most out of it:

To sleep

Place your Hugsback on your bed. The gentle pressure calms your nervous system, helps you fall asleep faster, and ensures a deeper, more restful night's sleep.

During the day

Take a break with your Hugsback on the couch or in a chair. Whether you're working, studying, or just had a busy day, it helps you relax, process stimuli, and gives you that warm, familiar feeling.

Bonus tip: Take your Hugsback with you on trips or sleepovers. That way, you'll always have a little bit of home with you.

In case of tension or anxiety

Hold your Hugsback tightly, close your eyes, and breathe calmly in and out. Within minutes, you'll feel your heart rate drop and your body relax – ideal for stress or overstimulation.

For children

For children, a Hugsback is a safe, familiar friend. Use it at bedtime or as a comfort during stressful moments – the deep pressure helps calm emotions and create a sense of calm.
