What is CuddleWorks?
CuddleWorks creates weighted plush companions and sensory-safe comfort tools designed to help children feel grounded, calm, and supported during moments of overwhelm.
Why were CuddleWorks products created?
They were developed by a parent of a neurodivergent child who couldn’t find soft, safe, weighted comfort items that truly helped children who feel the world more intensely — so they began making their own.
How do weighted plush companions help children?
Weighted plush provide gentle deep-pressure input that can calm the nervous system, reduce overload, support emotional regulation, and help children settle more quickly.
Who can benefit from CuddleWorks products?
Children of all neurotypes — including autistic, ADHD, highly sensitive, anxious, or emotionally overwhelmed kids — often find comfort in weighted plush. Many adults enjoy them, too.
Are the products designed with professionals?
Yes. CuddleWorks collaborates with occupational therapists, psychologists, educators, and families to ensure each tool is safe, supportive, and effective.
When should a child use a weighted plush?
They’re helpful during transitions, meltdowns, bedtime, sensory overload, quiet time, or anytime a child needs grounding or comfort.
How are CuddleWorks plush different from weighted blankets?
Weighted blankets can feel heavy or restrictive. CuddleWorks plush offer flexible, portable deep-pressure comfort that feels emotionally safe and easy for children to choose and hold.
Are the materials sensory-safe?
All plush are made from soft, gentle fabrics and filled with child-safe, evenly distributed weight to provide soothing pressure without overstimulation.
Can weighted plush help with sleep?
Many families report that their children fall asleep faster and stay calmer at bedtime because the plush provides a sense of safety and security.
Where can CuddleWorks products be used?
They can be used anywhere a child needs calm — at home, in classrooms, sensory corners, therapy sessions, car rides, or during travel.
