Finer Details
Deep pressure therapy gently shifts your body out of fight-or-flight and into rest-and-reset mode. The Willow’s balanced weight (6, 9, or 12 lbs) provides grounding pressure that signals your body it’s safe to relax.
The Willow offers breathable, targeted comfort. Hold it on your lap during the day or hug it close at night — it works wherever you do.
Available in four calming colors, with a removable insert that can be warmed for extra comfort or cooled to ease tension.
Perfect for anxiety, ADHD, menopause, insomnia, or anyone who just needs their body to settle and their mind to exhale.
How to Use
- Rest it on your lap while you work, read, or scroll.
- Hug it against your chest when anxiety spikes or you feel overstimulated.
- Lay it across your legs to stay grounded during stressful moments.
- Place it on your torso or legs at night to help your body release tension and settle for sleep.
- Hug it close as you drift off — the gentle weight tells your nervous system it’s safe to rest.
- Warm the insert for soothing comfort or cool it in the freezer to ease tension or hot flashes.
- Use The Willow anytime your body needs to shift from tension to calm — morning, night, or whenever life feels heavy.

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.
Weighted supports from For the Cubs offers just that — calming comfort for people managing life’s challenges.”

Our Story
Hi, I'm Amy
I created For the Cubs after years of living with constant tension, anxiety, and overwhelm. When I became a foster parent, I learned how deeply our nervous systems affect everything — how we sleep, connect, and cope.
Each product is designed from that lived experience — simple, surprisingly effective tools that help you feel grounded, calm, and supported in real life. Because I know what it’s like to need that, too.
