    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.

    3

    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!

    Charlie combines a super-soft plush exterior with 1.5 kg of weighted filling to provide firm, comforting sensory input while still feeling like a Buddy your child will want to cuddle.

    Inspired by Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS), the added weight creates steady tactile pressure similar to the feeling of a firm hug or compression.

    Keeping their Buddy cared for

    Charlie is soft and cuddly, but the weighted construction means he should be handled gently to help keep him safe and in good condition.

    • Suitable for ages 3+
    • Spot clean only
    • Do not machine wash
    • Avoid rough play, pulling or throwing
    • Follow the warming instructions carefully
    • Check Charlie regularly for signs of damage or wear
    • Stop using if the toy becomes damaged

    To help Charlie last as long as possible, we recommend treating him as a comfort companion rather than a rough-play toy.
