The Weighted Blanket You Can Actually Take With You

Portable Comfort

Hugz are small and compact, but still provide comfort anywhere you take it, unlike bulky blankets.

Huggable Joy

Hugz are soft, huggable companions making it a more personal choice compared to a blanket.

Targeted Relief

Unlike a weighted blanket, Hugz provides targeted relief by applying gentle pressure to specific areas, such as your chest or lap, where you feel tension the most.

How it Works

  • Hold it Close

    Place the Hugz on your body, holding or cuddling it in a way that feels comforting to you. This simulates the feeling of being hugged, providing immediate calm and reassurance.

  • Feel the Weight

    Let the gentle, even pressure promote relaxation of the parasympathetic nervous system, regulating your heart rate, breath rate, and blood pressure.

  • Enjoy the Hugz effect

    Experience reduced stress as cortisol levels drop, improved mood from serotonin release, and enhanced relaxation for a deeper, more natural sleep cycle.

Together, We're Never Alone.
