Hear the Story Behind Calmily
Hear how Calmily began, why traditional weighted blankets weren't always practical, and how one idea from a pediatric physical therapist became something families and adults are using in ways I never expected.
[Listen to SiriusXM Highway Hustler| Interview →]
Hi, I'm Libby.
I'm a pediatric physical therapist, mom of four, and founder of Calmily.
For nearly 20 years, I've worked with children and families to better understand what their bodies are communicating and what helps them feel calm, organized, and ready for rest.
I saw how helpful deep pressure could be. I also heard the same frustration again and again:
Weighted blankets weren't always practical.
They were heavy. They were hot. They stayed on the bed. And sometimes, people didn't want weight everywhere. They wanted it in one specific place.
So I created something different.
Calmily is a portable weighted pillow with a lighter end and a heavier end, so you can choose the pressure that feels right for your body.
Across your lap, over your shoulders, against your chest, or over your legs. You can move it, turn it, and find what feels comfortable.
One Pillow. Weight Your Way.
One Pillow. So Many Ways to Use It.
Families and adults have made Calmily part of everyday life:
• Settling into a bedtime routine
• Unwinding after school or work
• Reading, homework, or quiet time
• Long car rides and travel
• Hotel stays and unfamiliar sleep spaces
• Moments of sensory overload
• Relaxing on the couch
• Comfort during recovery
• Or simply when the body is asking for a little more pressure and grounding
Unlike a traditional weighted blanket, Calmily is portable and easy to reposition, so the weight goes where you want it.
Designed by a PT. Made in New York.
Calmily started with nearly two decades of pediatric physical therapy experience, but the story doesn't stop there.
Every Calmily is made in New York through an inclusive workforce that includes adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
It's a product I'm proud to put my name behind, from the reason it was created to the people who help bring each one to life.
Stories I Never Expected
When I created Calmily, I thought it would primarily be for children and families.
Then adults started telling me their stories.
Customers began sharing how they were using Calmily while recovering from surgery, during cancer treatment and mastectomy recovery, while traveling, during stressful seasons, and as part of their nightly routines.
One breast cancer survivor told me Calmily helped her sleep comfortably and pain free for the first time after surgery.
Those stories changed the way I think about what I created.
Because the need for comfort, pressure, and rest doesn't end when childhood does.
What Calmily Customers Are Saying
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"We brought the Calmily on a camping trip with our 8-year-old daughter, who is our high-energy, high-stimulus kiddo. The first night she couldn't settle and had been trying to fall asleep for nearly 45 minutes. She asked if she could try the Calmily on her chest. Within 3–4 minutes, she was asleep. We thought it was a fluke, but the exact same thing happened the second night. Since then, she's been stealing it from me every chance she gets."
— Lauren F., mom of an 8-year-old
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"After my double mastectomy, I struggled to find a comfortable sleeping position and was waking up constantly from discomfort. The Calmily provided gentle pressure and support exactly where I needed it. It was the first time I slept comfortably and pain-free after surgery. I still use it every night."
— Amy S., breast cancer survivor
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I've used weighted blankets before, but they were often too heavy and difficult to adjust. The Calmily gave me the same calming, grounding feeling in a much more versatile way. I love using it while reading or relaxing, and the proprioceptive input helps me self-regulate wherever I am."
— Tess, adult Calmily user
