Product Information

Do you know how to crochet a pillow? There’s obviously a bunch of different ways to do it, but the style that I see most often starts out as two crochet squares that are sewn together around a pillow form. Sounds pretty easy, right? That’s because it is! So no worries if you are a new crocheter, because we have more than a few beginner-friendly free crochet pillow patterns for you to choose from. Cortisol: the stress hormone, is reduced, helping your body relax and overcome anxiety. It’s like taking a calming deep breath.

Of course, the best part will be that moment when you are finally able to display all your hard work on your couch or your bed. Plus, these crochet pillow patterns are as practical as they are cute. They are perfect for snuggling with while you watch a movie or read a book. So prepare yourself for a cozy experience! We absolutely love weighted blankets, but there are distinct differences when you compare them to weighted pillows: Innovative Weight Distribution: We've developed a patent-pending insert. It's strategically hand-placed to conceal the product's weight, guaranteeing it remains stable during use. Serotonin Increase: This neurotransmitter plays a pivotal role in our mood. DPS aids in its release, providing an uplifting feeling of happiness and relaxation. It's like a gentle pull away from the overwhelming feelings that stress and anxiety bring.The Comfort of Oxytocin: Sometimes, what we need is a comforting touch or embrace. When you hug the weighted pillow, your body releases oxytocin, often referred to as the 'cuddle hormone'. It gives you a sense of companionship and reduces the feeling of loneliness, especially during moments of heightened anxiety or stress. Reduction in Restlessness: The grounding effect of the weight can help reduce the feelings of restlessness or fidgeting, common in those with ADHD. First off, congratulations! You're about to experience a unique kind of natural calm that feels like a hug. Cortisol Decrease: Elevated cortisol levels are synonymous with stress. One of the pivotal impacts of DPS is its ability to reduce these levels, directly aiding in the alleviation of stress and anxiety symptoms.

Right when you hold a weighted pillow, you will notice an overall increase in relaxation, in both your mind and body, that can help shift your levels of focus for the better. But there are plenty of additional benefits of weighted pillows as well. Weighted pillows serve as a therapeutic tool for those with ADHD. By initiating Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) and boosting dopamine production, they enhance focus and lessen hyperactivity, serving as a soothing anchor for the mind.

Dopamine Increase: Beyond just feeling good, dopamine is integral for motivation and focus. Its increase can rejuvenate your drive, making tasks feel less daunting and more rewarding. The Original Weighted Pillow Bonus: Our pillow isn't just about the weight! The ultra-soft, plush fabric is designed specifically with the ADHD mind in focus. Rubbing your fingers along our pillow feels delightful and offers an additional sensory grounding method, ensuring both your body and mind find harmony and focus. Enhanced Focus and Attention: By providing a constant yet gentle pressure, weighted pillows can help improve attention span and concentration, especially during seated activities or relaxation.

Gradual Increase: Over several days, gradually increase usage from 5 minutes, to 30 minutes, and then to an hour. This gentle progression lets your system adjust to the Deep Pressure Stimulation benefits. Hugging your weighted pillow stimulates the release of oxytocin throughout your body. This is often referred to as the cuddle hormone, helping provide a feeling of warmth and a sense of companionship.Dopamine Boost: Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) from weighted pillows is known to increase dopamine production. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter essential for regulating mood, attention, and focus. An increase in dopamine can especially benefit those with ADHD, enhancing their reward and pleasure systems and improving concentration. Loneliness Reliever: Rest the weighted pillow gently against your side. It's like a touch that can ease those moments of feeling alone. A fuzzy white faux fur heart adorns the center of this blushing pink pillow. If I made this pillow I would seriously never be able to stop petting it! I love the contrast in texture between the two colors and the sweet simplicity of the design. It’s crocheted using single crochet stitches and the intarsia crochet technique.
