Calmily Weighted Pillow: Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
What are the dimensions of the Calmily Pillow?
The Calmily Pillow measures 34" long x 22" wide x 4" deep at its fullest points. Its signature irregular shape isn’t just eye-catching, it’s designed for versatile positioning and optimal body-contouring comfort. Weight Your Weight!!!
How much does it weigh?
The Calmily Pillow weighs 5 pounds total, with graded distribution throughout. That means the weight isn’t spread evenly it’s more concentrated where you need it most, letting you “weight your way” for calming, targeted pressure. The top is 1 pound while the bottom longer end is 4 pounds, this allows the user to pinpoint where they want the weight.
Is it too big or heavy for kids?
Not at all. Calmily was thoughtfully designed for children ages 5 and up, teens, and adults alike. Because of its sectioned, graded weight, smaller bodies can engage with just part of the pillow starting as low as 1–2 pounds of input. While older users can enjoy full-body grounding comfort at the total weight of 5 pounds.
What makes Calmily different from other weighted tools?
We’re shaking up the weighted world. Here’s how Calmily stands apart:
- No more “one-size-fits-all” even fill.
- Ultra-soft, breathable Egyptian cotton, no zippers or Velcro, hidden tag.
- Not a bulky blanket, this is comfort you can carry.
- Sewn in New York by a skilled, neurodivergent IDD workforce.
- Designed by a pediatric physical therapist who understands sensory needs across neurotypes.
How does it compare to a weighted blanket?
Weighted blankets are often large and immobile—10 to 20+ pounds spread across your whole body. Calmily delivers similar deep pressure relief in a flexible, focused 5-pound pillow you can move, reposition, and travel with. Perfect for:
- Bedtime
- Desk Work
- Car Rides
- Classroom Breaks
- Couch Snuggles
Why the irregular shape?
It’s intentional. The asymmetrical design allows for multi-positional use:
- Wrap it across your shoulders or chest
- Curve it behind your neck or back
- Rest your head or arms on it
- Lay it over your trunk or lap for calming input
Wherever your body needs grounding, Calmily lets you choose.
Who is Calmily for?
Calmily is designed to support sensory regulation, emotional grounding, and restful routines for:
- Kids (5+) with sensory, emotional, or sleep challenges
- Teens who need calm in overstimulating environments
- Adults managing stress, burnout, or anxiety
- Anyone who craves natural comfort in a noisy world
Can I wash the cover?
Yes! The Egyptian cotton cover is removable and machine washable for easy care. Just unfold the bottom flap and slide the pillow out.
The inner pillow is spot-clean only, it contains specialized vegan fill that’s sensitive to heat and water. Washing or drying the whole pillow may reduce its loft and shorten its lifespan.
That said, real life happens. When our home had a lice outbreak, I tossed our family’s Calmily pillows in the dryer out of necessity. It still works but it’s definitely less fluffy now. We recommend spot-cleaning whenever possible to help your pillow last its longest.
Where is Calmily made?
Every Calmily Pillow is proudly handmade in the Finger Lakes region of New York, at Finger Lakes Textiles—a division of Mozaic Arc—by a neurodivergent, intellectually and developmentally disabled workforce. Supporting Calmily means supporting meaningful employment for people with disabilities.
