Soft, weighted, lavender-scented Buddies made for cuddling.

Each Buddy in our Weighted Buddy Collection stands for one of the five senses: smell, touch, taste, sight and hearing. They are a gentle way to talk with your child about noticing the world around them, and a cosy friend to hold at story time, quiet time or bedtime.

At 1.5 kg, each Buddy has a comforting weight on a lap or in a hug, with dried French lavender tucked inside for a soft, familiar scent.

  • 1.5 kg, filled with soft PP cotton and natural mineral stones
  • Infused with dried French lavender
  • Can be gently warmed, or cooled in the fridge or freezer
  • Spot clean only
  • Ages 3+

  • Free Gift over $120
  • Free Shipping over $150
  • Afterpay available

Our Weighted Buddies are soft, huggable friends with a little extra weight. Each one weighs 1.5 kg and is filled with soft PP cotton and natural mineral stones, with dried French lavender inside.

There are five Buddies in the collection, and each stands for one of the five senses: Charlie the puppy for smell, Ollie the octopus for touch, Francesca the flamingo for taste, Frankl the fox for sight and Eleanor the elephant for hearing. Choose the one your child connects with, or use them to talk about the senses together.

For a warm cuddle on a cool night, warm your Buddy in the microwave: 500 to 750 W for no more than 60 seconds, or 800 to 1000 W for no more than 30 seconds. For a cool cuddle on a hot day, pop it in the fridge or freezer.

Please handle your Buddy gently. They are not made for rough play or washing, so spot clean only. Suitable for ages 3+.

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.

Great Quality!

We have been searching for a weighted toy and came across Mindful & Co. My daughter is obsessed with Elephants so she was so happy to receive this as a gift. She is highly anxious and Eleanor has been such a support and calming influence. Great company and customer service. Highly recommend.

Ollie octopus

Ollie the Octopus has been a great addition to the family! He is super cute and keeps both myself and my cat calm! She loves to snuggle next to him while she sleeps (which is a lot).

Very Happy!

Our young one loves his Charlie! He recently moved into his own room away from his big brother and had been lonely. Charlie is his new best friend, helps him sleep and enjoys movie nights and lots of cuddles. 100% worth every dollar.

Frankl is wonderful

Frankl is wonderful. So soft and comforting. Frankl is providing me support after the recent loss of a beloved Fur Friend. The Team at Mindful & Co were very prompt and the description was very accurate. I happily recommend Frankl and Mindful and Co.

These are amazing!!!

These are amazing, such beautiful designs and the quality is superb. I got 2 - Charlie and Ollie - for my two boys and they are by far the favourite things in the house now. My eldest AuDHD boy gets so much comfort and calming from Ollie. Thank you!!

We love Pickles!

My daughter loves this new friend, and I love the effects it has on her nervous system! She will sit with Pickles on her lap and tell her stories and the weight of Pickles helps to calm her down and bring her back to her body. We call Pickles “the wise old cat,” haha. I haven’t tried microwaving or freezing it yet, although I’m curious to know if my daughter would like either.
We’re both very pleased with this new regulation tool and it’s proven to be a favorite already!

Eleanor Elephant

I saw all the weighted buddies in person. And, this one was absolutely my favourite. Beautiful build quality, good size, very soft plush. Leg and arm joins were sewn around in circular seam. Not sewn flat. Doesn't have weights in legs or arms, but honestly I dont think it needs it. It's perfect as is. Love it! Keep up the great work 🧡
And, I like what you've written on the packaging in regards, to the senses for each of the animals in the weighted designs!

Great !!

I got it for my 2 year old and she loves it. She sleeps with Charlie every night and brings it down during the day when she feels like she needs him

My 4 year old loves her cat! It smells divine!

My 4 year old loves her cat! It smells divine! I actually want one for myself. The only reason I’ve given it one less star is because I’d love the insert to be removable so I could easily put Pickles in the wash.

So good!

Frankl is perfect for my AuDHD 9 year old. Just the right size and weight and we love that he can be heated too. Buying another already for my other child!

I love cats

I like the weighted part of this cat. I was pleased with the size of it for holding. I would like to warm it up but it is a bit large for my Microwave . I very happy with my purchase. I appreciated the gift bag it came in.

Beautifully Crafted

I purchased Ollie the Octopus and Francesca the Flamingo for my two sons (8 & 4) who are stage 4 clingers, especially at night. We love how soft they are and the lavender smell is lovely. We like to microwave them before bed and they care for their "babies". The material is so soft and the weight is just right - both children can carry them easily.

cute, soft and real

My autistic 9 year old grandson says it's very cute and soft. At first the weight felt strange to him but he likes it now, makes it feel more "real".
