How Percy Compares: The Difference is in the Details

Is the fur super-soft and cuddly?

Does it use double-stitching on the seams for durability?

Is it a child-safe design?

Is the weight made from natural clay beads?

Is it unscented?

I don’t know what this looks like, except from the website. I had it sent to my Granddaughter at college and didn’t get much of a response. I do know she received it.

Adorable with a purpose!

I'm a 70-year old grandma in the Texas Hill Country, still with the evening hot flashes. A weighted blanket feels like it's strangling me, and it's too heavy to kick off! Percy has almost immediately given me better sleep, calming stresses. I can't wait to give one to a young niece who has a host of medical issues that cause her anxiety! Thanks for this adorable friend who looks absolutely fantastic when he's not in use. WELL DONE.

Thank you for this lovely review!! We are so thrilled to hear that Percy is helping you sleep better and keeping you calm during stressful days!

I love Percy!

Percy has a great weight to him. I’m an adult but suffer with extreme anxiety. I hold him or simply rub his ear and it ends what was the beginning of a panic attack. I love this guy and highly recommend him for children and adults! ❤️

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. It truly makes us so happy that Percy is helping you through those tough spots.

Hugs

I sent this to my daughter, who is away at school and can’t use some support. I told to hug Percy whenever she can use a hug from mom or dad.

Thanks so much for sharing Jackie! We hope Percy provides lots of comfort to your daughter.
