The Comfort Cub is a weighted therapeutic teddy bear created to comfort parents and families facing profound loss or trauma. Its gentle weight is designed to deliver deep touch pressure, shown to release the “feel good” hormones—serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin—that regulate stress and soothe the nervous system. This physiological response can help ease intense grief and support healing from Broken Heart Syndrome, offering a sense of comfort, connection, and calm when hearts need it most.
Evaluation comments:
“It is not too heavy but definitely feels dense. I really appreciate this teddy bear.”
“This teddy bear is a really nice idea. It was designed by a mother who lost her baby shortly after birth to help ease grief and broken heart syndrome.”
“As a mother who has experienced infant loss, I know this pain can be physical and comes in waves. It is a great comfort to have this bear that feels to be about the size and weight of a newborn. There is something soothing about holding it–I can’t really explain it. The quality of the bear is excellent. It is a neutral color, soft, and fuzzy. The size is perfect to fit in my arms, and I really think they got the weight right on this bear–it is just right.”
“I think my grief over the loss of my son will stay with me forever. I think about Ethan every day and some days are more difficult than others. This is really nice to have around on those tough days. I have seen other weighted stuffies but not specifically for the purpose of dealing with loss and grief.”
“I really appreciate the reason this teddy bear was created.”
“The bear comes with a brochure explaining the whole mission behind it and honestly the story pulls directly on your heartstrings. This isn’t your average plush. It’s a warm honey brown bear with a subtle ribbon for a necktie. Understated and elegant.”
“One of my girls has sensory issues and her OT actually recommends carrying heavy things to help her regulate. This bear checks that box for us.”
“The bear is really impressive overall. The fur is long, dense and incredibly soft in a way where you just keep petting it without even realizing you’re doing it. It has real weight and substance to it. Enough to feel intentional in your arms.”
“There’s something to the science they talk about in the brochure around oxytocin and deep touch pressure because you genuinely do feel calmer with it in your arms. Hard to explain but it’s real!”
“It’s the gift you give when you don’t have words. Very meaningful.”
“What this company has designed is genuinely moving!”
