"Chances are you’ve heard about potential benefits of using a weighted blanket. For example, research has found that using one can help decrease both anxiety and insomnia.
Looking for something a little lighter, more portable and, let’s face it, cuter? Weighted stuffed animals are the answer.
Less cumbersome than weighted blankets, weighted stuffed animals offer similar calming benefits and are a great option for kids, although anyone can use them, said Lynelle Schneeberg, a licensed clinical psychologist and assistant professor at the Yale School of Medicine."
A 2016 study investigated which non-pharmacological management methods nursing students in Eastern Turkey used when experiencing pain. The study authors found that heat therapy was one of the most common treatments.
ResearchTrusted Source suggests that heat therapy may decrease pain. Heat can alleviate pain and increase blood flow, metabolism, and the elasticity of connective tissue. There is also evidence that heat therapy is more effective at improving delayed onset muscle soreness than cold therapy.
Heat therapy may also be effective at relieving symptoms of chronic conditions, such as fibromyalgia and arthritis.
Works well for tired achy shoulders at the end of a long day.
I have also laid it across my legs for relief of muscle aches - works well.
It stays warm for a nice time, easy to reheat in microwave.
Wish it was a bit larger so could actually wrap around the neck instead of just laying on the shoulders, but no regrets in buying it.
The Huggaroo wraparound heating pad looked beautiful. However, it was way toooo heavy for me to wear..I am only 5 FT. tall and slim. I was told by your people to return it by UPS, which I did for the cost of $23.60.....that is outageous.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Huggaroo Family!

"I bought this for my son who has had trouble settling to sleep since he was a baby. After a month of using this blanket he goes to bed happily now and is asleep quickly and sleeps through. During the day we have noticed the extra sleep has made him calmer and happier."
At 7 pounds, the Huggaroo kids weighted blanket is made with sensory issues in mind. The environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic beads that are smaller than standard blanket filling, provide a quieter, softer weighted blanket experience. The small pockets of the weighted blanket provide even weight distribution throughout the blanket and prevent any sagging or shifting.

"As a 4th grade teacher of students who have experienced high amounts of trauma, I can say that using the Hugaroo weighted lap dog was a life saver. I used the weighted lap dog as an incentive/reward for a student of mine who had severe anxiety and ADHD. He LOVED the Hugaroo lapdog!! I would set a time and if he was able to complete the work in the agreed upon amount of time, he was rewarded with the dog. He loved to pet its' fur and play with its' ears. His attitude and anxiety dramatically decreased in the classroom. I'm so grateful for Hugaroo and how easy it was to implement this into my student's behavior plans. I also used another one for my calm down corner for my EE students and those who were having rough days. You will not regret purchasing it!!"

It's the first day of Winter! Warm up and eases those cold aches with our best selling Huggaroo Original.
"I have had a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders from a shoulder injury. I have been doing physical therapy and I switch from ice to heat depending on how it feels for the day. This heat pad exceeded my expectations. Not only does it offer a great deal of coverage, but it has a very relaxing weight to it that really lets the heat sink into you. The heat is full of moisture as well, which seems to really permeate onto my skin, making it feel as though you are getting a bit of a sauna treatment as well. A sort of localized sauna, if you will."

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Swimmer69: Love it
It is warm and relaxing and smells great too. Covers the area I need it to.
"This was a baby shower gift for my Great Nephew. From the pictures I have gotten, He loves it. This is definitely an item that he will grow into, grow bigger than, and then he can keep it for his own kids. I love knowing that as he grows, this weighted blanket can surround him and "hold" him. Then as he grows, he will be able to hold it when and if he needs that comfort."

"Other then medicine, I haven't found anything that provides and relief from my migraines. This wrap hits the right pressure points, and actually helps reduce the pain. It also blocks out any light, and has NO ODOR, which is essential when I'm suffering. It was worth every penny!"
Great for Christmas, Hanukkah, or a Secret Santa Present —This headache relief gel ice pack is encased in soft, luxurious fabric, which feels wonderful against the delicate skin of your face. The 100% polyester minky plush fabric is hypoallergenic, making it the softest material available, designed with the most sensitive skin in mind.

"This blanket is perfect for my friend that is sick. She gets cold easily so this soft, cloud-like blanket will hopefully brighten her spirits when she looks at the healing words."
The Huggaroo plush blanket may be the softest blanket you've ever owned. The cozy blanket will certainly be your favorite. Messages of encouragement, support, and hope and printed on the flannel side. Bring as a hospital visit gift, as a surgery recovery gift or a gift to a loved one

"I last used this during a two day migraine. After a few minutes, I noticed my perpetually tense shoulders drop and my face relax. I noticed the softness and that it didn't hurt to have the pressure. Over time, it feels like it relaxed my face muscles and I had some relief from the pain."
Quickly and easily warm in the microwave to use as a warm eye compress for dry eyes or keep in the freezer between uses to help relax and unwind. When used as an eye mask for dry eyes, the Huggaroo Gem provides quick and fast relief. Machine washable for easy cleaning and a terrific weighted eye mask for hot and cold therapy.

"I love the little velcro tab in the front to hold it together so it doesn't shift or slip when I move around. It really provided great pain relief for me in my neck and shoulder. I was in a lot of discomfort before i started using this and now my neck & shoulder have loosened up dramatically...it feels great and works well! I highly recommend."

A weighted blanket to help their kindergartener unwind and fall asleep. In 2016, they launched Huggaroo so they can share their favorite creations with everyone.
