WHEN TO REACH FOR THEIR WEIGHTED BUDDY

There’s no perfect routine. Just bring their Buddy into the moments when they need a little extra comfort.

1

WHEN BIG FEELINGS BUILD

Offer their Buddy when emotions start to feel like a lot and they need something steady to hold.

2

WHEN THEY NEED TO RESET

After school, during transitions or after a busy moment, a familiar cuddle can help create a softer pause.

3

WHEN IT’S TIME TO SLOW DOWN

Pair their Buddy with quiet time, reading, breathing or simply a few calm minutes together.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT

WHY DEEP PRESSURE FEELS COMFORTING

Unlike an ordinary plush, a Weighted Buddy adds gentle, steady pressure your child can physically feel while they cuddle or rest with it.

01

Deep pressure input

The added weight creates firm tactile sensory input through gentle, steady pressure.

02

BODY-AWARENESS FEEDBACK

Pressure against the body gives the brain extra sensory information about where the body is and what it is feeling.

03

A grounding sensation

When everything around them feels like a lot, consistent physical pressure can give their senses something simple and predictable to focus on.

FROM SENSORY SUPPORT TO SOMETHING THEY CAN LOVE

THE HEART BEHIND IT

FROM ONE PARENT TO ANOTHER

After experiencing postnatal depression, Jacqueline began looking more deeply at mindfulness and emotional wellbeing for herself and her daughter.

One thing stayed with her: when children are overwhelmed, they don’t always need us to talk them out of how they feel.

“Sometimes a child doesn’t need us to fix the feeling. They just need something comforting to hold while it passes.”

That’s why the weight is wrapped inside a friend. The idea was to create sensory support that still feels soft, familiar and easy for a child to make their own.

Fun fact: Some Buddies, including Charlie, Frankl and Pickles, were inspired by real pets from Jacqueline’s own life!

PRODUCT DETAILS

Everything you need to know

From what’s inside to caring for their Buddy, find the practical details here.

A soft, weighted companion made for comfort.

Charlie combines a super-soft plush exterior with 1.5 kg of weighted filling to provide firm, comforting sensory input while still feeling like a Buddy your child will want to cuddle.

Inspired by Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS), the added weight creates steady tactile pressure similar to the feeling of a firm hug or compression.

  • Filling: soft PP cotton and medical stones
  • Infused with dried French lavender flowers

Warming & cooling instructions

Extra comfort, just the way they like it.

Charlie can be gently warmed or cooled to add another sensory element to cuddle time.

To warm

Use for cozy moments, cold nights or when your child wants soothing warmth.

  • 500 to 750W microwave: maximum 60 seconds
  • 800 to 1000W microwave: maximum 30 seconds

Always follow the heating instructions carefully before giving Charlie to a child.

Place Charlie on a clean surface or inside a bag in the refrigerator or freezer for up to several hours, until the desired temperature is reached.

The French lavender scent can also be enjoyed warm or cool.

Keeping their Buddy cared for

Charlie is soft and cuddly, but the weighted construction means he should be handled gently to help keep him safe and in good condition.

  • Do not machine wash
  • Avoid rough play, pulling or throwing
  • Follow the warming instructions carefully

To help Charlie last as long as possible, we recommend treating him as a comfort companion rather than a rough-play toy.

Great Quality!

We have been searching for a weighted toy and came across Mindful & Co. My daughter is obsessed with Elephants so she was so happy to receive this as a gift. She is highly anxious and Eleanor has been such a support and calming influence. Great company and customer service. Highly recommend.

Ollie octopus

Ollie the Octopus has been a great addition to the family! He is super cute and keeps both myself and my cat calm! She loves to snuggle next to him while she sleeps (which is a lot).

Very Happy!

Our young one loves his Charlie! He recently moved into his own room away from his big brother and had been lonely. Charlie is his new best friend, helps him sleep and enjoys movie nights and lots of cuddles. 100% worth every dollar.

Frankl is wonderful

Frankl is wonderful. So soft and comforting. Frankl is providing me support after the recent loss of a beloved Fur Friend. The Team at Mindful & Co were very prompt and the description was very accurate. I happily recommend Frankl and Mindful and Co.

These are amazing!!!

These are amazing, such beautiful designs and the quality is superb. I got 2 - Charlie and Ollie - for my two boys and they are by far the favourite things in the house now. My eldest AuDHD boy gets so much comfort and calming from Ollie. Thank you!!

We love Pickles!

My daughter loves this new friend, and I love the effects it has on her nervous system! She will sit with Pickles on her lap and tell her stories and the weight of Pickles helps to calm her down and bring her back to her body. We call Pickles “the wise old cat,” haha. I haven’t tried microwaving or freezing it yet, although I’m curious to know if my daughter would like either.
We’re both very pleased with this new regulation tool and it’s proven to be a favorite already!

Eleanor Elephant

I saw all the weighted buddies in person. And, this one was absolutely my favourite. Beautiful build quality, good size, very soft plush. Leg and arm joins were sewn around in circular seam. Not sewn flat. Doesn't have weights in legs or arms, but honestly I dont think it needs it. It's perfect as is. Love it! Keep up the great work 🧡
And, I like what you've written on the packaging in regards, to the senses for each of the animals in the weighted designs!

I got it for my 2 year old and she loves it. She sleeps with Charlie every night and brings it down during the day when she feels like she needs him

My 4 year old loves her cat! It smells divine!

My 4 year old loves her cat! It smells divine! I actually want one for myself. The only reason I’ve given it one less star is because I’d love the insert to be removable so I could easily put Pickles in the wash.

Frankl is perfect for my AuDHD 9 year old. Just the right size and weight and we love that he can be heated too. Buying another already for my other child!

Beautifully Crafted

I purchased Ollie the Octopus and Francesca the Flamingo for my two sons (8 & 4) who are stage 4 clingers, especially at night. We love how soft they are and the lavender smell is lovely. We like to microwave them before bed and they care for their "babies". The material is so soft and the weight is just right - both children can carry them easily.

cute, soft and real

My autistic 9 year old grandson says it's very cute and soft. At first the weight felt strange to him but he likes it now, makes it feel more "real".
