You know those dark damp days when all you want is a hug, duvet, and TV. Well, that’s Fufuly. It feels like that kind of a hug that brings you comfort with a big sigh.

 A hug from a cushion or teddy bear is good but what makes this even better is the feeling that it is breathing. Don’t get me wrong. It feels weird at first, especially with your eyes open. But if you relax on the bed or in your favourite chair and close your eyes you find the magic sweet spot that helps you relax and calm.

Downside: It is heavy, even for me.I think the idea is to make it feel like a person or pet, hence the weight.If your loved one is frail, I recommend not placing this upon their chest either seated or laying down whilst alone.

Product rating (out of 5 stars)

Fufuly is great! 4 stars for the weight of the cushion
