Who needs Percy?
If you’re a professional over-thinker or someone whose "to-do" list is longer at 2 AM than the hours of sleep you've logged, you’re in the right place.
- The "What-If" Loopers: For when your brain is running a 100m dash while you’re just trying to sit on the couch.
- The Sensitive Souls: Crafted from hypoallergenic materials for those who find synthetic fabrics irritating.
- The Night Owls: For when your mind is racing but your body is ready to clock out.
- The Caregivers: A soothing, comforting presence for the days when words aren't enough and you just need something to hold onto.
- The Desktop Dwellers: Perfect for staying grounded and focused during back-to-back Zoom calls or deep-work sessions.
- The Sensory Seekers: Reliable physical grounding for AuDHD, Autistic, and neurodiverse adults who need a consistent sensory "anchor" to feel regulated.
The perks (Besides Being Cute)
Penny uses Deep Pressure Stimulation to help your body shift from "High Alert" to "Safe and Sound." No meditation apps required.
- The Grounding Effect: 3.5 lb. of steady weight provides a sensory signal to your mind and body that it’s okay to settle.
- Temperature Therapy: Pop the inner pouch in the microwave for soothing heat or the freezer for a cooling sensory reset.
- Manual Override: It’s a physical shortcut to quiet the intensity of a long day without having to "try" to relax.
The 10-minute reset

FAQ
Is Penny hypoallergenic?
Yes, she's made from organic and hypoallergenic materials and is unscented.
Why is Penny more expensive than other weighted plushies?
Penny was designed by our founder, a licensed trauma-informed foster parent who struggled with anxiety, burnout, and insomnia herself.
She spent years on R&D and small batch production to create the best weighted comfort bear available and added Penny to the collection.
She's hand made, has adjustable weight, thermal therapy (heat or cool), and 3.5 pounds of deep pressure designed for adults. She's designed for a lifetime of hugs and premium quality materials are used from the softest fleece and velour to the sturdiest thread.
Your purchase also helps kids in foster care, so you're giving to yourself and others who need it when you shop with us.

Can I travel with Penny?

Why would Penny help me when nothing else has?
Penny provides something specific: deep pressure stimulation.
Research published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy shows consistent, gentle pressure activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which naturally reduces cortisol and increases serotonin production.
This is a physiological response your body is designed to have. Most people feel calmer within 10-15 minutes of first use. After a week of consistent, repeated daily use, people start to see changes in how they feel.
Penny works alongside other supports and therapies. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to treatment. This information is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical conditions.
How long until I feel a difference?
Most people feel calmer within 10 minutes of first use.
The lasting changes happen with consistent daily use. Hold Penny whenever you're seated and after 1-2 weeks, you'll likely fall asleep faster and wake less often. After 3-4 weeks, you may start to become less reactive to everyday stress and recover from hard moments more quickly. One hug feels good. Consistent use can change your baseline response to stress.
What if Penny doesn't work for me?
You have 30 nights to try Penny. If she's not the right fit, return her for free for refund. You can read the full return policy here.
You can't always think your way to calm
The Physical Buzz:
You feel a constant, vibrating tension that makes it uncomfortable to sit and near-impossible to settle for rest.
The Tightness:
Stress can manifest as a tight chest or shallow breathing, keeping your body stuck in a high-alert loop.
The Mental Noise:
An activated nervous system creates a background hum that prevents your mind from truly powering down.
Penny calms what words can't always reach
The Grounding Weight:
You don’t have to "try" to relax. Penny’s 3.5 lb. of unyielding weight provides the deep pressure your body needs to finally slow down.
The Thermal Reset:
Using heat or cold provides a secondary sensory signal that tells your nervous system the emergency is over.
The Manual Override:
Stop fighting the mental noise. By anchoring your body first, you create a shortcut to quiet that thoughts alone can't reach.

From the expert
“Mental wellbeing doesn’t begin and end in a therapist’s office. It’s something we build — moment by moment — in the real world, all day, every day. With over a decade of experience supporting individuals and families navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and autism, I’ve seen firsthand how crucial it is to have consistent, accessible support beyond the clinical setting.
Percy offers just that — calming comfort for people managing life’s challenges.”

The importance of support
Anxious? Exhausted? Can't sleep?
Chronic or major stressors can have long-term effects if you're not giving your body daily feedback that it's safe to rest.
According to research* and my own experience with anxiety and as a foster parent, what really helps is steady physical input the body can respond to.
That’s why I built For the Cubs.
We make beautiful, comforting self-support tools that gives your body the input it needs to know its safe to rest: weight, sound, scent.
And when you shop with us, you'll help kids in foster care as part of our giveback program.
