It’s similar to the feeling I get when I sleep under a weighted comforter or blanket, designed to deliver deep pressure stimulation - the feeling of being hugged that relaxes your nervous system. It’s been over a year now since I’ve owned a Sqishmallow and I can safely say that while I still deal with anxiety and stress on a daily basis, I’ve been able to sleep much better while hugging my soft toy against my chest. Nevertheless, I decided to take the plunge and shop for a Squishmallow myself. For someone who’s tried everything from breathing exercises to CBD, the idea of a simple stuffed animal helping with my high-stress levels sounded almost like a far-fetched dream. I’ve suffered from anxiety all my life and struggled with dealing with it, to the point where the mere thought of the next day used to keep me up at all hours of the night. I was curious, considering there hadn’t been any studies done (yet) about how these squish toys helped with rising stress levels or chronic anxiety.

Many shoppers have also talked about how Squishmallows help with their anxiety. Raise your hand if Squishmallows help your anxiety!
