Why we made this
Grown-ups need something to hold too.
Somewhere along the way we decided that comfort had an age limit. That past a certain birthday you should be fine with an empty side of the bed, a quiet flat, a day that took more than it gave.
We didn't believe that. So we made a companion sized for adult arms, with real weight to it — the kind of steady pressure that tells your body it can stop bracing. Not a toy. Not decoration. Something that stays nearby.
Meet the companions
Six of them. One of them is yours.
Same weight, same softness, same 60cm frame. The difference is who you want on the other pillow.
How it works
Three small steps to a softer evening.
01
Choose your companion
Pick the face you'd want to see on a bad Tuesday. They're all the same weight and softness underneath.
02
We send them over
Dispatched within 24 hours in recycled packaging, with a little card introducing them by name.
03
Keep them nearby
On the sofa, across your lap, along your back at night. Thirty nights to decide if they stay.
What makes it different
The weight is the point.
- Evenly weighted, not bottom-heavy. Microbeads are quilted into eleven separate chambers, so the weight lies across you instead of sliding to the paws.
- Adult proportions. 60cm long with a body you can actually get an arm around, not a keyring with ambitions.
- Double-stitched everywhere. Reinforced seams at the arms and neck — the two places cheap plush always fails.
- Genuinely washable. No dry-clean-only nonsense. 30°C, gentle cycle, air dry, no clumping.
- Grown-up palette. Muted, warm colours that look right on a real bed in a real bedroom.
- Certified safe. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 fabrics, embroidered eyes, nothing to come loose in the night.
The difference
Same evening, different feeling.
Before
You get in at nine. The flat is too quiet and the sofa is too big. You scroll until your eyes hurt, go to bed, and lie there braced against nothing in particular.
After
You get in at nine. Something soft and heavy goes across your lap while the kettle boils. It comes to bed with you. Your shoulders drop, and you stop noticing how quiet it is.
Things we got wrong first
It took four goes.
Version one sagged
All the beads ended up in the feet within a fortnight. We added internal chambers and started again.
Version two matted
One wash and the fur went crunchy. We changed supplier and tested thirty wash cycles before we'd sign it off.
Version three was too small
It looked lovely in photos and disappeared in your arms. We went up to 60cm and never looked back.
Version four is the one we send you.

Questions
Everything people ask us.
How heavy is it, really?
1.8kg, spread across the whole body. Heavy enough to feel like a hand on your back, light enough that you can carry it room to room without thinking about it.
Can I actually put it in the washing machine?
Yes. 30°C on a gentle cycle, no fabric softener, then air dry flat. The beads are sealed in their own chambers so nothing shifts or clumps.
Is it safe for children?
It's tested to EN71 with embroidered eyes and no loose parts, but the weight means it isn't suitable for under-threes or for cots. It's built for adults.
Will it get too hot in summer?
No. Unlike a weighted blanket it only covers part of you, and the microfibre is breathable. Most people keep theirs out year round.
How long does delivery take?
Dispatched within 24 hours. UK orders arrive in two to four working days, and delivery is free over £89.
What if I choose the wrong companion?
Swap them within thirty nights and we'll cover the return postage. See returns for the details.
