Meet Sunnie the Sloth, a weighted stuffed animal with extra-long arms and paws that hug you back. Sunnie helps you stay focused, feel safe, and reduce cortisol and anxiety. Whether you're working, studying, or winding down, Sunnie brings the comfort of a warm hug anytime you need it.
How it works
Sunnie the Sloth works through Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT) — a soothing technique in which soft, even weight rests on the body, much like being held in a hug. That steady pressure switches on your parasympathetic nervous system, the part of you in charge of unwinding, restoring energy, and feeling secure.
The moment Sunnie's long weighted arms settle around you, your brain receives a clear message:
"You're safe. You can slow down now."
That physical signal helps you:
- Bring down cortisol levels (the stress hormone)
- Take the edge off anxiety and overwhelm
- Quiet a racing mind
- Lift serotonin and dopamine (your happy, feel-good chemicals)
- Focus more easily and sleep more deeply
At your desk, tucked into bed, or curled up on the couch — Sunnie delivers an immediate wave of calm exactly when you need one.

Washing and care
Weighted arms and all, Sunnie the Sloth Weighted Animal is still easy to clean!

How to shop bundles
Want to order our weighted animal "Friends Pack" or "Family pack"? Here is how it works:
1. Put 2 or more weighted animals in your cart: any of our weighted animals count. There is no need to select the "Friends pack" option, since that simply adds 2 of the same animal to the cart. You could instead add 1 of one animal and 1 of another, which already brings your total to 2 animals.
2. The matching quantity discount is applied automatically at cart
Keep in mind that every animal in the same order ships to the single address you choose.

Hugs that heal
With long weighted arms and ultra-soft fur, Sunnie brings that “held and safe” feeling whenever you need comfort or grounding.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the science behind this?
Our weighted animals rely on Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT), a soothing technique known to ease stress and anxiety by lowering cortisol levels and switching on your body’s own relaxation response. Think of it as a wearable weighted blanket — only far cuddlier.
Is it washable?
Yes! For everyday messes we suggest spot cleaning with a damp cloth. When it needs a deeper clean, hand wash it gently and let it air dry.
Can I sleep with Sunnie?
Absolutely. Plenty of people sleep with our weighted animals to handle nighttime anxiety or insomnia. The weight and the softness together help settle your nervous system and encourage deeper sleep.
Is it safe for kids or pets?
Anyone over the age of 5 can enjoy Sunnie!
Every one of our weighted animals carries the CPC Certificate (Children's Product Certificate) for product safety testing in the US, plus the CE mark for product safety testing in the EU.
Because of the weight, we don’t recommend it for very young children or for pets.
How heavy is Sunnie?
Sunnie weighs 1kg / 2.2 lbs — enough to deliver calming pressure without ever feeling heavy. The weight sits in Sunnie's arms, so it can genuinely hug you and hold on while you work. Perfect for hugging while working, unwinding, or sleeping.
What if I don’t feel better right away?
Every nervous system is different. Some people feel relief on the spot, others notice the benefits after a few consistent uses. Either way, Sunnie the Sloth is with you for the long haul!
A hug that melts your stress away in seconds

Way more than any other stuffie
The weighted animals already on the market left us frustrated. They looked adorable, sure, but they never really worked. Most were too small, too light, or they'd slide right off the moment you actually tried to use one.
So we built our weighted animals a different way. Sunnie the Sloth comes with extra-long weighted arms that wrap around you and genuinely stay put while you work, read, or scroll your phone. Think of Sunnie as a wearable weighted blanket — only far cuddlier and a lot more practical!
