Elli the Elephant is more than a huggable
While recuperating from thyroid cancer surgery, I had to ice a great deal to reduce swelling and for comfort. Putting the ice pack on Elli was a tremendous relief. While I sat holding Elli to reduce stress, she held my ice pack in place and was super adorable. All my colleagues loved Elli on my virtual meetings.

Excellent
The product is amazing and the gift was well received. But let’s talk about the customer service experience. I received notice from fedex that the package had been delivered but it was not. When I called FedEx they couldn’t give me a straight answer blah blah blah. But when I emailed the customer service team for Bearalby they responded right away and said they’ll take care of it. They were super responsive and my package was at the door next day. Great job guys!!!

What makes Bearaby stuffed animals different from a regular stuffed animal?
Our Bearabuddies are wonderfully weighted and handcrafted with love! Every Bearabudddy has a huggably heavy belly and protective super paws filled with all-natural Terraclay™. You can hold, hug, and carry them whenever you need a little extra help feeling calm!
What are weighted stuffed animals for? or, What do weighted stuffed animals do?
Weighted stuffed animals (also known as weighted anxiety stuffed animals) are designed to promote grounding and help you feel secure, making it easier to relax during the day and drift off to sleep at night.
Like a weighted blanket, weighted stuffed animals work through Deep Touch Pressure (DTP), which activates your pressure points to reduce cortisol (the stress hormone) and increase melatonin and serotonin.
Our Napper weighted blankets provide evenly weighted DTP across your full body, while our Bearabuddies deliver more concentrated DTP that’s perfect for bear hugs. Each Bearabuddy has a huggably heavy belly that relaxes pressure points to help you feel secure, and extra weighted super paws that you can hold and squeeze to squash away stress.
You can rest with your weighted elephant on your lap or in your arms, or hold your Bearabuddy for extra weighted comfort while using your Napper.
What are weighted stuffed animals filled with?
Our delightfully heavy weighted plush elephants get their weight from tension-melting Terraclay™: an all-natural, biodegradable clay that relaxes pressure points for calming comfort. Each Bearabuddy is handcrafted with love out of Terraclay™ and 100% cotton knit.
Each Bearabuddy is handcrafted with love out of 100% cotton knit, and filled with Terraclay™ and GRS-certified recycled polyester padding.
How do weighted stuffed animals help with anxiety?
Studies have shown that resting under weight can lower our cortisol levels, helping us feel less stressed. Our weighted plush toys combine this stress-relieving super power with the sensory relief and emotional support of a stuffed animal. With huggably heavy bellies and flat, evenly weighted backs, the Bearabuddies are ready to give on-demand bear (or elephant!) hugs that help you feel secure.
Each Bearabuddy also has protective super paws filled with Terraclay™ that you can use to squash away stress, push away worries, and lend yourself a helping hand as you transition into a calm, restful mindset.
How do you clean Bearaby weighted stuffed animals?
Our Bearabuddies are machine washable! You can machine wash Elli Elephant in cold water and tumble dry on low. We recommend washing your Bearabuddies inside a laundry bag to keep them in tip-top shape for many hugs to come.
