Finer Details
The Willow isn't just therapeutic support. It's a weighted pillow designed to look like it belongs on your sofa or bed — while calming your nervous system when anxiety spikes or sleep won't come.
Deep pressure therapy helps your body shift out of fight-or-flight mode. The Willow's weight (6, 9, or 12 lbs) applies gentle, consistent pressure that triggers your parasympathetic nervous system — the part responsible for feeling calm and safe.
Unlike weighted blankets that trap heat and feel claustrophobic, The Willow gives you targeted support. Hold it on your lap during the day. Hug it at night. Move it room to room. It works wherever you need to feel grounded.
The Willow comes in 4 colors that work with most home decor styles. The weighted insert can be heated or cooled.
Heavy enough to help, beautiful enough to leave out.
Perfect for anxiety, ADHD, sensory processing, insomnia, or anyone who just needs their body to settle.

Our Story
I created For the Cubs because everyone deserves to understand the power of nervous system care—and how it can truly change everything.
Anxiety. ADHD. Burnout. Grief. Sleepless nights. These struggles don’t just touch your life—they take it over. I searched for support that felt human, consistent, and kind. But what I found only made me feel like I wasn’t doing enough.
So I built something different.
For the Cubs offers tools that go deeper—support that speaks to the very core of how you think, feel, and function: your nervous system.
This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about lasting change that empowers you to live with more peace, clarity, and strength.
— Amy, Founder of For the Cubs
