"And that’s what I love about it—it’s effortless. You simply hug the pillow, breathe, and feel your body soften."

Sleep… it’s just not that easy anymore. In 2025, 4 in 5 women are experiencing disrupted sleep, and 1 in 5 are turning to sleeping pills. In the evening, your mind’s racing with do-to lists, you feel guilty about what you didn’t do through the day, and you’re anxious about what you have to do tomorrow. If you’re waking through the night, you’re also stressed about how tired you will feel  the next day, because right now, you don’t have any sleep strategies that actually work. 

Sound familiar? I hear you. In fact, I hear you, and so many like you, all the time. My community of women 30+ struggles with sleep on an almost nightly basis - be it from parenthood, stress or menopause… we’re all suffering .And, like I can help them, I can help you. It starts with creating a calming sleep sanctuary - and that’s exactly why I recommend Huggasleep. 

How Huggasleep works

Huggasleep is more than just a pillow. It’s a sleep support system that combines emotional comfort with physical alignment. The shape and length of the pillow provide support for your entire body. By cushioning your knees, hips, and shoulders, it encourages healthy spinal alignment, especially for side sleepers. Better posture means fewer aches, less tossing and turning, and deeper, more restorative rest.

At the same time, Huggasleep delivers the soothing sensation of a soft, comforting hug that tells your nervous system: You’re safe. You can let go now. The pillow works by using gentle pressure—similar to a weighted blanket, but more wearable - that helps quiet the stress hormone cortisol and supports melatonin, your body’s natural sleep hormone. The result? You feel calmer, more grounded, and ready for rest—without needing to take anything or do anything complicated.

And that’s what I love about it—it’s effortless. You simply hug the pillow, breathe, and feel your body soften. It fits easily into your evening routine and feels like a natural part of your wind-down ritual.

Designed for real life (and real sleep)

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, discomfort from side sleeping, or waking up sore—Huggasleep adapts to your body, giving you the kind of support that regular pillows just can’t.

It’s also made with breathable, hypoallergenic materials and an adjustable fill—so you can customise your comfort, night after night.

I’ve used it myself during anxious moments and before bed, and I recommend it to so many of my female clients: busy mums, high-achieving professionals, and women in perimenopause who are struggling to find balance and calm. The science is there too—deep pressure stimulation has been shown to reduce night-time wake-ups and improve sleep quality. But even without the stats, you’ll feel the difference. You’ll feel more relaxed, more supported, more like you again.

Sleep isn’t just about hours on the clock—it’s about how you feel during the day. Rested, calm, energised, resilient. And that starts with the right tools to help you truly switch off.

So if you’ve been tossing and turning, or you just want a gentle, beautiful way to unwind at night—Huggasleep is one of the best tools I can recommend. It’s simple, smart, and seriously soothing. Remember - you deserve deep, nourishing rest… you deserve to feel good again.
