Meet Pookie the Panda — your cozy Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT) buddy
Pookie uses gentle, hug-like weight to deliver Deep Pressure Therapy, a calming technique that nudges your parasympathetic nervous system—the part that helps your body unwind, reset, and feel secure.
When you cuddle Pookie or let his weighted arms rest around your shoulders, your brain gets a clear message:
“You’re okay. It’s safe to slow down.”
What this comforting cue can help with:
Easing stress by dialing down cortisol
Softening feelings of anxiety or overwhelm
Settling busy, racing thoughts
Encouraging serotonin and dopamine (feel-good chemicals)
Supporting focus and more restful sleep
Desk time, bedtime, couch time—whenever life feels loud, Pookie wraps you in instant calm.

Way more than any other stuffie
We felt frustrated with the other weighted animals in the market. Regular weighted animals were cute, but they never really worked. They were too small, too light, or they’d slip right off the second you tried to actually use them.
That’s why we designed our weighted animals differently. Pookie the Panda has extra-long, weighted arms that wrap around you and actually stay put while you work, read, or scroll your phone. Pookie is like a wearable weighted blanket, but so much more cuddly and practical!
