Pilo is a weighted cuddly animal, which, due to its weight in combination with its tusks and weighted cuddly arms, creates relief, peace and security in people with stimulus processing problems, tension and sleeping problems. Children, adults and elderly people with dementia can benefit from the use of this weighted cuddly toy.

Pilo helps to prevent overstimulation and offers security due to its weight and design. Weight-bearing elements such as these have been proven to be effective in reducing tension and helping to relax and fall asleep.

This weighted walrus is easy to use on your lap. Place the weighted body on your lap while the user is sitting, then let the legs hang over the hips. This will put pressure on the sides of the hip and lap and come to a complete rest. It is also possible to put this weighted animal on your body before going to sleep. This weighted stuffed animal has a fine shape, which creates pressure on both the shoulders and the side of the body.

For elderly people with dementia, Pilo can be seen as a child, but for children or adults with (multiple) disabilities, it is also seen as a buddy or cuddly toy. When someone feels safe and at ease with a weighting product or cuddly toy like this, security and peace are created.

This weighted cuddly toy is more personal than, for example, a weighted lap pillow; Due to the beautiful and cuddly appearance, this weighting product radiates more warmth and bonding to the users instead of the functional weighting pillows or weighted blankets.

Pilo is immediately popular with many target groups, there is hugging, talking and petting the cuddly friend. Keep in mind that the weighting hug evokes a different reaction for each user. In the event of a negative reaction, we recommend that you put Pilo aside and do not place the arms on the user.

Pros and Cons

Pilo is made of soft material, providing extra cuddly stimulation.
Pilo is quite expensive, but considering all of the positive effects (such as the beautiful appearance and a well-functioning product), it is definitely a good investment!
The deep pressure of the weighted cuddle provides calmness to the user.

Pilo is not always immediately appreciated by users. Sometimes, this takes more times than usually. There are also users who do not feel safe with an animal product, in this case we recommend a weighted lap.

Pilo is suitable for several target groups and situations, including:
- Insomnia
- Depression, tension and stress
- Autism

Can Pilo help you to fall asleep better?

For many users it is difficult to find rest and fall asleep as soon as they go to bed. It can take hours before the user gets in bed and falls asleep. There are also users who do not bother to sleep with an "animal", despite it being both a cuddly and aggravating animal. Once one sleeps with Pilo, it is often seen as a "friend" who sleeps with them. When goodnight is said, wrap Pilo around you, so that there is a "cuddly" feeling. The weighted cuddle gives cuddles that are good for peace of mind and the tusks can be easily held with the fingers, which relaxes the user. Users are less afraid to fall asleep and get a better night's sleep.

Can Pilo be used with all target groups?

Many target groups immediately like the weighted article, they cuddle with Pilo and the user can relaxes completely. Please bear in mind that Pilo could give a different reaction by each user. In case of a negative reaction, we recommend placing Pilo next to the user for a while and not putting him on top of the user. By introducing Pilo calmly, the user gets used to the weight/design of the weighted cuddly friend.

Where are the weightings of the weighted animal placed?

The weightings are placed all over the body. The weighted cuddly friend has a fine shape, which creates pressure on both the shoulders and the side of the body.

Why is the purchase of this weighting article so expensive?

Pilo is not cheap, but it is very functional, it creates a safe feeling and it has a nicer appearance that expresses more warmth than a normal weighted article.
