SEE THIS MINDFUL TOOL IN ACTION

Meet Frankl, a super soft weighted fox made for cuddles that feel like a warm, steady hug.

At 1.5 kg, Frankl is heavier than an ordinary plush toy. The weight is inspired by Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS): gentle, even pressure on your child's lap or chest, similar to the feeling of a firm hug. Many families keep their Buddy close at bedtime, in the car, at school drop off or anywhere new.

Frankl is one of our five senses friends and stands for sight. Each Buddy in the set stands for a different sense, a gentle way to talk with your child about noticing what they can see, hear, smell, taste and touch.

Frankl is filled with soft PP cotton and natural mineral stones for weight, and infused with dried French lavender flowers for a relaxing scent.

Warm or cool your Buddy

To warm: 500 to 750 W microwave, maximum 60 seconds. 800 to 1000 W microwave, maximum 30 seconds. Always check the temperature before giving it to a child.

To cool: place on a clean surface or in a bag in the fridge or freezer for up to a few hours.

Caring for Frankl

Frankl is a comfort companion rather than a rough play toy. Spot clean only, do not machine wash, and check regularly for wear. Stop using if the toy becomes damaged.

What are the Weighted Buddies made of?

Our Weighted Buddies have a soft 100% polyester plush exterior and are filled with soft PP cotton and natural mineral stones for weight. This makes them comfortingly heavy while staying soft and cuddly, perfect for hugs.

How much do the Weighted Buddies weigh?

Every Weighted Buddy weighs 1.5 kg (3.3 pounds), so the gentle, even weight feels like a warm hug.

How do I clean my Weighted Buddy?

Weighted Buddies are spot clean only. Use a damp cloth for small marks and do not machine wash. Each Buddy is a weighted comfort toy rather than a rough play toy, so check it regularly for wear and stop using it if it becomes damaged.

When to Reach for Their Weighted Buddy

There’s no perfect routine. Just bring their Buddy into the moments when they need a little extra comfort.

1

WHEN BIG FEELINGS BUILD

Offer their Buddy when emotions start to feel like a lot and they need something steady to hold.

2

WHEN THEY NEED TO RESET

After school, during transitions or after a busy moment, a familiar cuddle can help create a softer pause.

WHEN IT’S TIME TO SLOW DOWN

Pair their Buddy with quiet time, reading, breathing or simply a few calm minutes together.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT

Why Deep Pressure Feels Comforting

Unlike an ordinary plush, a Weighted Buddy adds gentle, steady pressure your child can physically feel while they cuddle or rest with it.

01

Deep pressure input

The added weight creates firm tactile sensory input through gentle, steady pressure.

02

BODY-AWARENESS FEEDBACK

Pressure against the body gives the brain extra sensory information about where the body is and what it is feeling.

03

A grounding sensation

When everything around them feels like a lot, consistent physical pressure can give their senses something simple and predictable to focus on.

FROM SENSORY SUPPORT TO SOMETHING THEY CAN LOVE

THE HEART BEHIND IT

From one parent to another

After experiencing postnatal depression, Jacqueline began looking more deeply at mindfulness and emotional wellbeing for herself and her daughter.

One thing stayed with her: when children are overwhelmed, they don’t always need us to talk them out of how they feel.

“Sometimes a child doesn’t need us to fix the feeling. They just need something comforting to hold while it passes.”

That’s why the weight is wrapped inside a friend. The idea was to create sensory support that still feels soft, familiar and easy for a child to make their own.

Fun fact: Some Buddies, including Charlie, Frankl and Pickles, were inspired by real pets from Jacqueline’s own life!

A HUG THAT HEALS

A BUDDY THEY’LL TREASURE
