Launched as a big comfort accessory one can use to help your body and mind relax, Bearaby’s Hugget Knot Pillow is a knotted, multi-functional pillow that is designed to offer de-stress.
It’s round, incredibly soft, and functions much like a stress ball.
Hugget Knot Pillow has recently been awarded a 2023 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
That means it stimulates the senses as a way to release tension and anxiety. In this case, that release comes through physical touch.
So, when you feel stress or tension of any kind, you can squeeze, hug, or lay on the pillow to help get some relief.
The knotted appearance with chunky loops crisscrossing each other can help give fidgety fingers a lot to play with, and grasp onto to help reduce stress.
The pillow comes in three sizes, including small, medium, and large.
The small size fits in the palm of your hand and is made to massage your reflex zones, or areas in your body that have sensitive pressure points.
The medium size has a bit more weight to it and is great for hugging and releasing tension.
The large size helps to target pressure points and serves as an extra cushion for cuddles on the couch or bed.
The Hugget Knot Pillow is made of Bearaby’s latest material innovation, Melofoam.
Most memory foam pillows lack functional benefits and last only 2-3 years before disposal.
Bearaby’s Hugget knot pillow is durable and sustainable, lasting up to 20 years. Once worn down, it decomposes in soil in just 6 weeks.
Melofoam is a fully biodegradable, breathable, responsive rubber made of sap tapped from rubber trees (which continue growing and absorbing CO2 post-harvest).
Collected in coconuts, the sap is steamed into a zero-waste, all-natural foam.
Each Melofoam Hugget is hand-knotted and encased in GOTS-certified 100% organic cotton or Lenzing-certified TENCEL.
