How Our Weighted Pillow Works

Our Weighted Pillow uses gentle pressure to help you feel relaxed.

Step 1

Helps You Relax

Place the pillow on your body. Hold it, hug it, cuddle it, whatever you want! This gentle pressure kickstarts Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS).

Step 2

Helps you fall asleep faster

DPS shifts your nervous system from sympathetic (fight or flight) to parasympathetic (rest and digest). Cue up an episode from Nothing Much Happens and prepare for rest.

Step 3

Reduces Anxiety and Tension

Release of calming and focusing hormones improves mood, increases relaxation, while reducing stress and overstimulation.

Here's What People are saying...

  • This pillow makes me so happy!

    I bought it for my son, but I sneak cuddling with it whenever I can.

    - Carmen M., Verified Buyer

  • Unwind with Every Listen

    So soothing and calming-this pillow, paired with Nothing Much Happens helps me unwind and feel more balanced, melting away the day's tension.

    - Emily C., Verified Buyer

  • Really amazing for sensory relief

    Expensive, but totally worth it. I brought it to college and use it pretty much every day. I feel my anxiety start to go away just by having this on my lap when I’m doing work on my laptop. I’m Autistic and this is unbeatable. 

    - S., Verified Buyer

  • Love it!

    I put this on my chest and was asleep 2 minutes later. Even sitting on the chair the other day, I picked it up, put it on my chest and was out like a light!

    - Anthony N., Verified Buyer

  • Best Self Care Gift EVER!! <3

    I was skeptical as to how an expensive pillow would be worth the money, but let me tell you, it is every bit worth it. I initially purchased it because I just received a late ASD diagnosis and wanted something weighted, but found blankets to be too cumbersome, trapping me in bed with leg cramps, so I wanted something lighter, that I could also hug for panic attacks since I just lost my Husband, who was my support and the love of my life, and I have been in burnout and unable to sleep ever since. A stuffed animal just did not feel right for me, so I saw this pillow that comes with the 2 free months of Nothing much Happens soother stories and let me tell you, my sleep has never been the same since! I sit up with the pillow on my lap either listening the amazing stories or ASMR on my eyemask headphones and I am off in the land of Nod faster than I can count down from 10 to 0. Oh, and I have also made some lavender sachets to stuff in this lovely pillow for more sensory scent. Magickal! Best investment ever!! I highly recommend you acquire one. LOVE IT!

  • You won’t regret it

    I bit the bullet and purchased this weighted pillow to help with my anxiety/ADHD, and I'm so happy I did! I use it during work meetings, and now my leg isn't jumping up and down, and the pressure is just enough to calm my brain to focus on what's happening. 

    The biggest con: my husband keeps stealing my pillow! He has insomnia and shattered his femur in 2019. He loves hugging the pillow at night, and it keeps him from rolling over in his sleep and waking up from leg pain. The difference in his sleep is drastic, like an additional 3 hours a night!

Frequently Asked Question

How Do Weighted Pillows Work?

Our huggable weighted pillows are backed by science! They work by initiating a process called Deep Pressure Stimulation, or DPS. This is also sometimes referred to as Deep Pressure Therapy, which is proven to boost your mood, reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, and help you fall asleep faster. Simply put, it’s huggable magic!

What Are The Benefits Of Weighted Pillows?

Right when you hold a weighted pillow, you will notice an overall increase in relaxation, in both your mind and body, that can help shift your levels of focus for the better. But there are plenty of additional benefits of weighted pillows as well.

How Should I Use A Weighted Pillow?

While the choice is always yours, here are some of our favorite ways to use a weighted pillow for comfort, coziness, and better sleep:

The Perfect Hug: Hold the pillow against your chest and let its gentle weight soothe you. Try placing it in a diamond shape—one corner between your legs, the opposite just below your chin—so you can wrap your arms around it. The other two corners will settle around you like a comforting embrace.

Grounding & Stillness: Rest the pillow on your lap as you settle into a good book, a cup of tea, or a quiet moment of reflection.

A Companion for Cozy Moments: Place it gently against your side—like a soft presence to ease feelings of loneliness or restlessness.

Sleep Aid: Hug it while you sleep to encourage deep relaxation, or tuck it between your knees for proper spine alignment and extra comfort.

Workday Comfort: Use it as a steady base for your laptop, book, or tablet, making work or reading time even more enjoyable.

 Restless Leg Soother: Place it over your legs to help calm restlessness and encourage stillness.

Travel Companion: Whether you’re on a long car ride or a flight, bring your pillow along—it’s like a stress ball for your whole body, keeping you cozy on the go.

No matter how you use it—daily, occasionally, or just when you need a little extra comfort—there’s no wrong way to enjoy your weighted pillow. Curl up, take a deep breath, and let the weight do the rest.

How Are Weighted Pillows Different From Weighted Blankets?

Why We Love Weighted Pillows

Weighted blankets are wonderful, but they come with a few drawbacks—heat, bulkiness, and a less targeted weight distribution. Weighted pillows, on the other hand, offer all the calming benefits without the drawbacks:

  • Cool & Comfortable – No overheating, just soothing weight right where you need it.
  • No Confinement – Place it where it feels best—on your chest, lap, or side—for comfort without feeling trapped.
  • Portable & Versatile – Take it anywhere! Use it while traveling, as a cozy companion, or even as a laptop support.
  • More Effective Relaxation – All the weight stays on you, maximizing Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) for a deeper sense of calm.

Weighted pillows focus their weight exactly where you need it, making relaxation easier, cozier, and more effective—anytime, anywhere.

How Long Does It Take To Get Used To Sleeping With A Weighted Pillow?

Getting Cozy with Your Weighted Pillow

Did you know it takes about two to three weeks to settle into a new habit—including a sleep routine? Think of your weighted pillow like a new friendship—start slow, no rush!

  • Ease Into It – For the first few nights, use your pillow for 30 minutes to an hour as you drift off.
  • Gradual Comfort – Increase your time with it little by little, working up to a full night.
  • Sweet Sleep Ahead – By week three, you’ll likely notice deeper, more restful sleep with your new bedtime buddy.

Give yourself time, get cozy, and let the relaxation settle in.

Can A Weighted Pillow Help Reduce Stress And Anxiety?

Why We Call It a Stress Ball for Your Body

Your weighted pillow isn’t just cozy—it’s a scientifically designed tool that helps your body work for you, not against you. Here’s how:

Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS): Hugging or resting with your weighted pillow activates DPS, slowing your heart rate and regulating your breathing—like a natural reset button for calm.

Feel-Good Hormones:

  • Serotonin boost = More relaxation and happiness.
  • Dopamine boost = Increased motivation and focus.
  • Oxytocin release = That warm, comforted feeling of a hug.

Stress Reduction: DPS lowers cortisol (the stress hormone), easing anxiety and tension.
