We help with anxiety, pain & sleep issues. Proudly Canadian, we make our weighted blankets in Calgary #EnhanceYourSleep #WeightedBlanket

We've had lots of questions about our Fitted Mask

We've had lots of questions about our Fitted Mask Sizes. To get the best measurement use your nose to chin measurement and the top of ear over your nose to your other ear measurement. The mask needs to be longer that the measurement from your nose to chin and the mask should be narrower than your ear to ear measurement.

And remember, we are always happy to help you find your perfect fit. You can book an appointment to see the masks in person and find out what works best for you!

Here are the dimensions of the finished masks.

Small Masks
nose to chin - 6" or 15.5 cm
top ear to ear - 8" or 20.5 cm
bottom ear to ear - 7" or 18 cm
nose to ear - 4.25" or 11 cm
side - 2.25" or 6 cm

Medium Masks
nose to chin - 6.5" or 16.5 cm
top ear to ear - 8.5" or 22 cm
bottom ear to ear - 7.5" or 19 cm
nose to ear - 5" or 13 cm
side - 2.25" or 6 cm

Large Masks
nose to chin - 7.5" or 19 cm
top ear to ear - 10.5" or 26 cm
bottom ear to ear 8" or 20 cm
nose to ear - 5.5" or 14 cm
side - 2.25" or 6 cm

Throwback to camping last year with a custom made

Throwback to camping last year with a custom made weighted blanket! So tell us, what is the one comfort camping item that you take with you when you camp?

Nobody needs another grey blanket - unless that's

Nobody needs another grey blanket - unless that's absolutely what you love. That's the Hippo Hug difference. Whatever your tastes or needs are, our team will work with you to create a weighted blanket that is as unique as you. We enjoy helping you find the perfect hug, that will provide you comfort for years to come.

Making a one-off item involves a level of care and focus unparalleled by mass-produced goods. Our sewists don’t produce trendy, mass produced blankets and our company doesn't focus relentlessly on reducing costs. Instead, they treat each piece like a work of art that represents their craft.

Getting started can be as easy as 1,2,3. We would love to walk you through the process of selecting your Hippo Hug Weighted Blanket. or you can order online at https://hippohug.ca/product/weighted-blankets/

UPDATE! We are going to open the shop from 12 to 3 pm so you can pick up your outstanding mask orders before the City of Calgary’s mask bylaw kicks in.

We are taking a much needed break this weekend. Please stay safe and have fun! We will be back in the shop on Tuesday morning at 9 am!

This hot weather has us feeling beachy keen! So we decided to roll with it. Today's featured blanket is 40x60 and 11lbs with cotton pineaple in neon on one side and mermaid scales in teal on the other.

*Cotton or linen on both sides will keep you extra cool if you run hot.

Honey, our 7lb Signature Weighted Animal is modeli

Honey, our 7lb Signature Weighted Animal is modeling our original pleated mask design. Notice that it fully covers her nose and mouth and is securly tied behind her head.

Honey is big bundle of love at 15"X11". Because of her size, we were able to make him overstuffed ensuring she's extra soft and the perfect cuddle companion.

Honey is also one of our custom animal creations. She was created head-to-toe at the shop - her pattern was even drafted by one of our sewists. However, if you are looking for a specific animal or have a special stuffie that you'd like to add weight to we do that as well!

Ever wonder how we make our multi- patient, waterp

Ever wonder how we make our multi- patient, waterproof, wipeable medical grade weighted blankets? We shot this quick video of our original style blanket a few months ago.

Like our standard customized blankets our medical blankets come in a number of different sizes and weights suitable for children, adults, and seniors. But our multi-patient blankets have the added bonus of being made with a liquid-resistant material that can be wiped, or with a completely waterproof fabric. Both can be ordered with removable washable duvet covers.

Hippo Hug weighted blankets are ideal for use in medical facilities as our proprietary weighting system allows for them to be moved around, folded and stored much easier than others on the market. Since they are carefully made by hand, they are also easier to clean and are much more durable.

Check out our version of the bean bag chair! Our Hippo Chills are essentially the same as a bean bag chair, except ours are made with the waste (fabric off cuts) of our blankets to help reduce our environmental foot print.

These crash mats still great for watching TV, playing video games or jumping around in a rec room. They come in two sizes and the insert is made with waterproof, wipeable fabric so you can easily remove the cover to clean up spills. You can also purchase the cover separately and fill them with stuffed animals.

Speaking of custom blankets Nd going above and beyond.

We wouldn’t do this for just anyone but when you are the boss’s son and you ask for a Minecraft inspired weighted blanket to replace your current Hippo Hug blanket because you are an 11 year old trapped in the body of a 16 year old. Mom makes sure to give you this lovingly crafted masterpiece completed with some rad embroidery.

We love to make custom weighted blankets. Honestly

We love to make custom weighted blankets. Honestly, it is so important to us that you get exactly what you want and we are happy to work with to create a beautiful unique to you piece. We have made a number of senitmental and ultra custom blankets over the years and we are always thrilled to hear when you love it.

Recently we worked with Susan to create a lasting memory. "I had a half done memory quilt that had languished in a box for two years. Hippo Hug provided superb service from initial phone contact to decide what might be possible, through to the final product. They made excellent decisions on the backing and binding, I am thrilled with what they did! Highly recommend."

Thank you Susan - we are so glad you love your blanket!

At the end of March we brought in a line of super soft minky fabrics that we absolutely love!

Since they oh so are cozy we think these minky fabrics are the perfect addition to any blanket. And if you’re concerned about the heat use a cotton or organic linen on the other side.

Already have a Hippo Hug weighted blanket? Update it with a removable washable cover made from this fabulous fabric.

Feature Blanket - Softy Kitty a 15lb 40x70” that would be wonderful for someone who would like a mid-range weight but head-to-toe coverage.
