Our son has autism and found it difficult to calm down in the evenings because of all the stimuli from the day. Since he has been using the Hugsback weighted stuffed animal elephant, bedtime has become much calmer. The soft weight gives him a safe and familiar feeling.

Why
deep pressure
can feel calming
A weighted stuffed animal works with soft, even pressure. This is often compared to deep pressure stimulation: a form of pressure that many people experience as soothing, safe and comforted.
A Hugsback is not a medical device and does not replace professional help. However, a weighted plush toy can be a comforting source of support during daily moments of calm, for example in times of tension, overstimulation or before sleep.

Wat ontzettend bijzonder om te lezen Cheyenne, heel erg bedankt voor je mooie en persoonlijke review! 🤍
Wat fijn dat onze Olifant je zo goed bevalt en dat je bijna iedere avond heerlijk met hem slaapt! 🥰 Het raakt ons echt om te horen dat hij je die fijne, rustige druk geeft en dat je hem ook wilt gebruiken op momenten dat je bang of verdrietig bent.
En hoe bijzonder dat olifanten jouw favoriete dieren zijn! 🐘 Dat je onze Olifant zo mooi vindt, betekent ontzettend veel voor ons. We hopen dat hij je nog heel veel fijne momenten van rust, troost en geborgenheid mag geven!
Enorm bedankt voor je vertrouwen en je lieve woorden! 🤍

Hugsback
Ik gebruik hem vooral op momenten dat ik even wil ontspannen. Wat ik zo fijn vind, is dat ik niets hoef te doen. Gewoon lekker zitten, hem vasthouden en genieten van een rustig moment. Voor mij is dat precies waarvoor ik hem wilde hebben.
Na een drukke dag vind ik het heerlijk om even helemaal niets te hoeven. Een kop thee, een dekentje en mijn olifant op schoot. Meer heb ik op zo'n moment niet nodig. Het gewicht geeft me een prettig en geborgen gevoel.
Ik heb nogal eens moeite om na een volle dag mijn hoofd leeg te maken. Tegenwoordig neem ik een halfuurtje voor mezelf met een boek en mijn Hugsback Olifant. Het is een fijn moment geworden waar ik echt naar uitkijk.
Iedere avond plof ik na het werk op de bank met mijn olifant. Het gewicht op mijn schoot vind ik ontzettend prettig. Had niet verwacht dat ik zo gehecht zou raken aan een knuffel.
Er zit iets heel prettigs in de combinatie van een zachte knuffel en een beetje extra gewicht. Moeilijk uit te leggen, maar ik ben er ontzettend blij mee.
Soms zijn het juist de eenvoudige dingen die een dag leuker maken. Thuiskomen, mijn favoriete serie aanzetten en de olifant erbij pakken. Ik had nooit gedacht dat een knuffel voor mij zo'n vertrouwd onderdeel van de avond zou worden.
Ik ben sowieso gek op olifanten, dus toen ik deze zag, was ik meteen verkocht. In het echt vind ik hem nog leuker dan op de afbeeldingen. Vooral zijn koppie is echt schattig.
Bij het uitpakken was ik meteen enthousiast over hoe zacht hij aanvoelde. Twee kilo klinkt misschien niet zo bijzonder, maar als je hem op schoot legt, merk je het gewicht duidelijk. Voor mij voelt dat heel aangenaam.
Als kind had ik altijd een olifantenknuffel die overal mee naartoe ging. Toen ik deze zag, moest ik daar meteen aan denken. Natuurlijk is deze veel zwaarder, maar het vertrouwde gevoel van een zachte knuffel is hetzelfde. Dat maakt hem voor mij extra bijzonder.

Wat ontzettend fijn om te lezen, Sofia!

Bikkel mijn Olifant verzwaringsknuffel van Hugsback zit elke avond trouw in bed op mij te wachten, en ik slaap een stuk rustiger door hem. Ook als ik me even niet lekker voel (ptss) pak ik Bikkel lekker vast en wordt ik weer rustiger. Ook mijn neefje vind zijn Olifant ( Ollie) helemaal geweldig!! Dank je wel voor de super snelle levering.

Ik heb normaal best veel moeite om ’s avonds tot rust te komen. Sinds ik de Hugsback in bed bij me heb merk ik dat ik veel minder lig te draaien. Het gewicht voelt gewoon heel prettig en helpt me echt om te ontspannen.
Gekocht voor mijn dochter. Het gewicht geeft echt een fijn en geborgen gevoel. Ze slaapt er iedere avond mee en ze slaapt ook beter dan ooit. Ik ben er heel blij mee!
Echt ontzettend blij met de olifant. Hij is superzacht en door het gewicht voelt het heel fijn om hem tegen je aan te houden. Vooral ’s avonds op de bank en in bed pak ik hem er steeds bij en kan niet meer zonder
