Calmily Weighted Pillow: FAQs

Calmily uses graded deep pressure lighter at one end, heavier at the other so every body can “weight their way.”
Unlike a blanket, Calmily is:

• Portable
• Easy to reposition
• Made for laps, chests, shoulders, heads, or cuddling
• Fast to use during regulation moments
• Comfortable for kids, teens, and adults

It gives the grounding input without overheating or restricting movement.

Calmily has a graded-weight design gently weighted on one end and deeply weighted on the other for a total of 5.5 pounds.

This allows you to:

• choose lighter pressure for sensitive days
• choose heavier pressure for big-input days
• adjust for different ages, bodies, and nervous systems

There’s nothing else like it.

Approximately 27 inches long sized to fit across:

Families use Calmily for:

• sensory seekers
• anxious teens
• overwhelmed adults/ parents
• kids who crash, wiggle, or fidget
• bedtime battles
• busy brains that struggle to settle

It’s designed for kids, teens, and adults.

Yes, when used with supervision and as intended.

Calmily is designed to give calming deep pressure without limiting movement or breathing. Unlike a weighted blanket, it doesn’t drape over the face or cover the whole body so children can easily shift it, move it, or take it off at any time.

We generally recommend Calmily for ages 5 and up, since older children can independently position the pillow where it feels best.

As always, young children should use any weighted product with adult supervision.

Try:

• Across the lap during schoolwork
• On the chest at bedtime
• Around the shoulders for grounding
• On the legs during screen time
• Behind the back while reading
• Hugging or squeezing during big feeling

There’s no wrong way, follow what feels regulating.

For many families, yes.

Deep pressure can tell the nervous system:“You’re

It was designed by a pediatric physical therapist to give the right amount of input at the right time.

Weighted pillows provide deep pressure input, which helps the nervous system feel grounded, safe, and regulated.

Deep pressure tells the brain:
“You can slow down now.”

Calmily uses a graded-weight design gently weighted on one end and more deeply weighted on the other, so every person can choose the amount of input their body needs in that moment.

It’s portable, flexible, and effective for kids, teens, and adults.

Most people feel the calming effect immediately, especially when placing Calmily on the chest or next to the body at bedtime.

But every nervous system is different.

Some families notice:

• instant settling, or
• increasing comfort over several nights

If you’re new to deep pressure tools, start with the lighter end and gradually move toward deeper input as your body feels ready.

Your nervous system will tell you what feels right.
