Daylight Savings time is hard! We know that it sucks to go through time change as an adult but our children tend to feel the effects of sleep deprivation much more acutely and they are not able to process their emotions, which can quickly overwhelm them to the point of a colossal tantrum. For parents like Kristian, a Hippo Hug weighted blanket can be a game-changer!

"I had an amazing experience at Hippo Hug! I’ve never tried or had a weighted blanket before and the staff was very helpful and friendly. They let me try multiple blankets before I ended up making my final decision. Now that I have my blanket at home I’m so happy with it! It’s beautiful and it’s already helping me sleep better! If you’re wondering whether or not you should spend the money to get yourself a gorgeous weighted blanket, I would recommend that you go for it! Thank you so much Hippo Hug!" ~ Alex

When we started making custom weighted blankets they were for personal use. However, we heard from our clients that they were taking there blankets to dentist appointments and to have blood taken - but who wants to drag their personal blanket around with them? We realized there was an opportunity to introduce weighted blankets designed for medical use into facilities such as nursing homes, hospital wards, and dental offices.
We believe they can be of use in many situations where people require a way to relax and either focus on their treatment, or let their mind wander off while being evaluated. We believe it’s so valuable to your patients that Hippo Hug has a program for institutions, similar to our “Try before you buy” program, where care professionals can receive a package of items to try in their practice to test efficacy of weighted blanket use before committing to purchasing.

Call 587.356.0633 or email sales@hippohug.ca

Don't be stuck with just a few choices for weight! At Hippo Hug we believe your weighted blanket should be as unique as you and we have weights from 3 - 34 lbs so you can get tucked in just right.

Halloween is just two days aways! One of the perks of being a local small business is that we can send our staff home early to take their kids trick-or-treating.
That means we will be closed at 3:30 on Thursday, October 31st but don't worry the store wil be open bright and early Friday at 10am.

Why do we do what we do? For people like Chad! "Purchased a blanket as a Christmas gift in 2018. The blanket still looks like new but most importantly is still being used to calm and reduce stress / anxiety. The staff at Hippo are friendly and took the time to recommend both the weight and blanket size. I’d highly recommend them. A weighted blanket is an investment and I feel like they invested in me as well. Thanks guys." Love what we do? We would love to hear from you!

Today we are stacking up the competition! Hippo Hug on the right and our major competitor on the left.
Both of these blankets weigh the same amount but there is clearly difference because of how we make our blankets. Because of our proprietary disk system we can give you all the weight with none of the bulky, unwanted heat.
Plus, you can customize your blanket to match your style. Give the grey the boot and pick from our hundreds of fabric choices. Don't see what you want? Contact us and we will help your perfect fit!

Did you know that up to 20% of people avoid going to the dentist entirely because of nervousness and anxiety?
If you are one of the people who hate the dentist ask your hygienist for a Hippo Hug Weighted Blanket as one of the ways to keep you grounded and calm during a cleaning.

If you are a dental office that is looking for ways to make your clients more comfortable email sales@hippohug.ca for more information about our trial program for medical grade weighted blankets.
