Parents share what they noticed with the Ella Weighted Plush Toy
Buying a new plush toy for your child can quickly feel like a gamble: will they sleep with it, or will it end up in the closet after two days? That’s why we’re sharing what we’ve heard so far from parents who have the Ella Weighted Plush Toy at home, including the videos they shared with us.
Not every child gets used to it at the same pace

Not every child takes to the extra weight right away. Some children need a few evenings to get used to the feeling, while for others it’s clear from the very first night. That’s exactly why we give you 30 nights to see if it works for your family, rather than judging after just one evening.
"Eddy is really super soft, and the weight feels like a real cuddle. The removable pouches are a clever idea too. Definitely worth the money!"

For children who don’t dare to sleep alone or get overwhelmed easily

Gentle, even pressure across the whole body signals to the nervous system that it’s safe to relax, even when no one is sitting beside the bed. That’s why many parents of anxious, energetic, or easily overwhelmed children use the plush toy especially for these moments, not just at bedtime.
"I got to test it as part of a test panel before it launched, and I’m a huge fan. They’re really lovely plush toys, and it’s doubly nice to cuddle one on the couch, for example. It gives you a calm, comforting feeling. Very comfortable and soothing. Thank you, Ella and Job!"

"A soft cuddly friend that provides extra comfort during quiet moments and the bedtime routine. What makes this stuffed animal so special? You can adjust the weight entirely to your little one’s needs. A lovely extra for little cuddlers!"

We’re deliberately only showing two reviews here: the Ella Weighted Stuffed Animal has just launched, and we don’t want to pretend there are already thousands of experiences. As soon as parents send us videos or reviews, we’ll add them here. If your child has been experiencing anxiety, restlessness, or sleep problems for a while, also discuss it with your family doctor or child health clinic. A weighted stuffed animal can help with calming down, but it is not a medical treatment.
