A busy day full of stimulation calls for a plush that hugs back
After school, after sports, after a day full of stimulation: some children need more than “just lie down for a bit.” Ella the Weighted Plush weighs 2 kilos instead of the usual 200 grams, providing firm, even pressure that helps calm the body.

The 5 reasons
Why Ella the Weighted Plush goes that little bit further
A plush that really hugs back
An ordinary plush is just soft. Ella the Weighted Plush weighs 2 kilos, providing gentle, even pressure across the whole body, known as Deep Pressure Stimulation. This tells the nervous system that it’s safe to relax.
No screens, no batteries, no app: he just works.
The weight adjusts, not the other way around
There are three removable 250-gram pouches inside the belly. This lets you adjust the weight from 1.25 kg to 2 kg, just right for whoever’s cuddling him. Feel free to start light; many children get used to it within a few nights and then want to put the pouches back in themselves.
He goes everywhere, not just to bed
A weighted blanket stays on the bed. This plush sits upright on its own (40 cm) and goes along to the sofa, in the car, to school or for a sleepover, just when a child needs a moment to unwind, not only at night.

They choose him themselves, so they really do take him along
Five animals to choose from, all with exactly the same specifications; only their personalities differ. A child who chooses their own soft toy will also form a bond with it. Includes an adoption certificate with a QR code, so the animal can have its own name.
30 days to try it
If the Dog doesn’t fit into your routine, you can return it within 30 days. With a 2-year warranty on top, you don’t have to guess whether it will help—you can simply try it.

Frequently asked questions
How exactly does a weighted plush work?
The weight provides gentle, even pressure on the body, known as deep pressure stimulation (DPS). It feels like a firm hug and helps calm the nervous system. It's the same principle as a weighted blanket, but in something you can hold and take with you.
From what age is the plush suitable?
From age 3. We don't recommend it for younger children. Do not leave young children unattended while sleeping with the plush on their face or chest.
How do I adjust the weight?
There are three removable 250-gram pouches inside the belly, behind a closure. You can take them out in a few seconds and put them back just as easily, so you can decide whether it weighs 2 kg or 1.25 kg.
How does the 2nd-pet discount work?
Add two plush toys to your cart and the 50% discount on the cheaper one will be applied automatically, with no discount code needed.
Is this a replacement for a weighted blanket?
Not necessarily; they work well together. The plush is smaller, goes everywhere, and is ideal for daytime or on the go. Looking for a blanket too? Check out the Ella Weighted Blanket for Kids.
