Weighted Stuffed Animal, 5lb | Sensory Plush for Kids & Adults | Machine Washable Plushie w/Removable Inner | Calming Weighted Stuffed Animal for Anxiety, Stevie The Sloth

This weighted stuffed animal is excellent quality and has become a favorite for my daughter, particularly for cuddling during nap time. I have also found it helpful personally when seeking gentle, calming pressure while relaxing. The soft material, evenly distributed weight, and medium size make it well-suited for both children and adults. The product has held up well over nearly five months of regular use. My only consideration is that the arm seams may experience additional strain, as my daughter frequently lifts it by one arm, which places most of the 5 lb weight on that area. This does not reflect negatively on the overall quality, but is simply something to be mindful of when handling. I also love that they can be washed!

I’m a 33 year old woman with anxiety and insomnia. I’m not ashamed to admit that stuffed animals help when I’m trying to sleep or calm down. This weighted stuffie is probably the favorite one I have now. He is soft, cute, and the perfect size and weight for an adult. I think this is worth every penny. It’s sturdy and think it’ll last a long time. I like that the weighted insert can be removed in order to wash the shell. I would like to get more soon.

Stevie is so soft and cozy. Weighted perfectly so it feels like a newborn baby. His arm and legs are also weighted and his arms fit around your neck so it feels like a real hug. My 7 year old son loves stuffed animals but this is by far his favorite. Great quality, shipped fast. After receiving ours, I bought stevie for family members as well.

Adorable, well-made, soft and the perfectly weighted for cuddling. This plush friend helped a little six year old struggling to sleep in her own room to feel comfortable and safe. I'm so happy with this purchase!

My autistic son loves it; it helps him fall back asleep. He's been using it for two years now, and every time he wakes up at night, he hugs it. Thanks to its weight, he feels comforted and falls back asleep easily. I love this plush toy; it's easy to wash. You just take out the weighted bag, and that's it. My son loves it.

Pros: * Fantastic Weight: The pressure is evenly distributed and feels very grounding. It’s perfect for anxiety relief or relaxing on the couch. * Cute Aesthetic: The design is exactly as pictured and very endearing. Cons: * Material Softness: The fabric is okay, but it lacks that "cloud-like" plushness you find with brands like Hugimals. It’s a bit more standard than premium. * Scratchy Details: The stitching on the eyes and mouth is quite stiff. If you have sensitive skin or like to cuddle your weighted plush close to your face, the embroidery can feel itchy and irritating. Final Thoughts: I really want to love this 100%, but the tactile experience isn't quite there yet. If the manufacturer switched to a softer fabric and used "minky" or printed details instead of stitching, this would be the best weighted plush on the market. Still a solid 4-star purchase for the weight alone!

I love my weighted stuff toy, Dexter! He's very cute! The plush is lush, the weight is great! I appreciate that the extremities are also weighted! He's the perfect size too! SUGGESTION: make a version of this toy that offers a heartbeat and/or the sound of a sleeping, snoring dog, that would be awesome! 👍

Over this Christmas weighted stuffed animals is what I got my grandchildren, my husband and myself. I bought several brands with items priced from 29.99 - 64.90. This one was one of the least expensive but it is the one I use the most for sleeping. I have a very bad habit of sleeping with my arms over my head or worse sleeping on my arm. This has caused severe shoulder issues and very painful tendinitis in my bicep. If I sleep with this thing on my hip, I naturally want to cradle it with my arms instead of raising them. Even my expensive Brease bear doesn’t work as well for this as this Callie cat does. The weight is distributed evenly in the body and feet and the hands and feet are long enough to hold with my hand in the right position to help with my arthritis. If I had to choose between this one or my bear, I would keep this one - not because it is half the price, but because it is more essential to a good night sleep. I bought this one to help me sleep, but would also be fine for kids 3+. Plus, it is one of the few that can be washed in the washing machine. I like that the eyes are embroidered so there isn’t anything hard on it. The fur on these is really short. I usually prefer this to plush stuffed animals and it feels good in any direction you want to pet it. Plus, they don’t get as hot as the ones with plush fur which can inadvertently bring on a hot flash. The only con is that the closure for the removable insert is closed with Velcro. I have never opened it, but still sometimes, I can feel the Velcro poke at me when I am holding it. I will likely be removing that Velcro and replacing it with something softer. Even buttons would be better than the feel of Velcro. However, if you have tactile sensitivity like me and can’t sew unlike me, I don’t know how much any closure is needed. The foam used in these is quite stiff, the stuffie has a structured shape, and the removable stuffing is contained so it won’t spill out. I would definitely buy this again.
