Bent is a weighted cuddly animal, which, due to its weight in combination with its long 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.

Bent helps to prevent overstimulation and offers security and safety due to its weight and design. Weighted elements like these have been proven to be effective at reducing tension and helping to relax and fall asleep. This weighted cuddle toy is easy to put on your lap and hug. Place the (weighted) arms over the shoulders and relax completely. It is also possible to put this weighted animal on your body before going to sleep. Bent is also easy to carry: tie the long arms around the neck, and there is a weighted cuddly feeling. For elderly people with dementia, Bent 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. The weights are placed in each arm and stomach and can also be (partially) removed if desired. Most of Bent's body is made of soft (fake) fur, while his face, hands and feet are made of linen. Bent is immediately liked by many target groups, there is hugging, talking and petting the cuddly friend.

Pros and Cons

One arm has a wide elastic (arm) band. As soon as a cuddle is given, it is possible to bind the arms together using this elastic band. This creates even more feeling and Bent can be hold better!
Due to the deep pressure of the weighted article, the user will calm down.
Bent is easy to take with you.

Bent 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!
Bent 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.
