Everything You Need to Know About Bearabuddies Weighted Stuffed Animals From Bearaby
As longtime fans of Bearaby and their soothing weighted blankets, we're avid believers in the power of a little weight to ease tension and help us relax, and the brand's latest launch may be their cutest.
Today, April 2, Bearaby expanded its line of weighted stuffed animals for adults called Bearabuddies with its spring collection, adding four new plushes to join the existing lineup of Benji Bear, Remi Rabbit and Elli Elephant. The team was kind enough to hook us up with an adorable Bearabuddy of our own (the sweet Daisy Dino), and below, you can find everything you need to know about the updated lineup.
Why Weighted Stuffed Animals?
What exactly is the deal with weighted stuffed animals? While plushies can be cozy and comforting themselves, the added pressure of weighted stuffed animals can also lower your cortisol levels. That means a simple hug can reduce feelings of stress and anxiousness—which we personally think is something we can all use right now.
"Our community consistently expresses the impact that our weighted products, from blankets to plushies, have had on their sleep health and overall wellness," Bearaby CEO and founder Kathrin Hamm shared with Sweety High. "When we initially launched this line in December with only three characters, we were overwhelmed with the positive feedback that led to a sell-out in under two weeks. Bearabuddies go beyond just being a weighted plushie; at Bearaby we are transforming plushies into a wellness tool by combining the familiar emotional comfort of stuffed animals with calming effects of Deep Touch Pressure (DTP)."
Each plush weighs 3.5 pounds, making it just the right size for adults to snuggle with, and retails for $99.

The Characters
The Bearabuddies spring collection features four brand new characters, each featuring cute, small bodies with huge heads and long arms, that make them perfect for hugging. Each one also comes with a hang tag that shares their jobs, professions, birthdays, favorite colors and fave tips for a little bit of peaceful R&R
Suzy Sloth
Suzy Sloth is an adorable character who's obsessed with coffee and spends her days working as an accountant. We just can't get enough of those rosy cheeks.

Daisy Dino
After a week of hands-on time with Daisy Dino, we're obsessed. Not only is her comforting weight extra helpful for calming our minds and falling asleep more quickly, but her triceratops design is our favorite of the bunch. She's a microinfluencer who loves walks in the park and her favorite sleep tip is reducing screentime before bed (which is probably even more relevant to her as someone whose career is on her phone).

Cody Cow
And last, but certainly not least, is Cody Cow, with her sweet pink horns, cheeks and belly. Cody is a pilates instructor who's also passionate about cooking and baking.
