It's finally here. Our new Lotgenootje Sheep.

I'm Marien, founder of Lotgenootje. I started Lotgenootje because I saw how many people struggle with sleeping, relaxing and unwinding. And how big of a difference it can make when your body feels safe enough to let go.

More than 100,000 people now sleep better with a Lotgenootje. That makes me proud. But what moves me even more are the messages I receive. From people who finally sleep through the night again, worry less and wake up rested after years of sleeplessness.

Today we're introducing the newest member of the family: the Sheep. We chose an extra soft coat especially for him. This makes him extra lovely to cuddle with.

But why does a Lotgenootje actually work so well? Below I'll explain why over 100,000 people sleep better with a Lotgenootje.

Reason 1: Your body gets the signal to let go

When you sleep badly or can't unwind during the day, you're often missing one thing: the feeling that it's safe to relax. Not the idea of it, but the real, physical feeling.

That's what a Lotgenootje does. The 2 kg weight gives your body a calm, gentle signal. Your breathing slows, your thoughts quiet down and you feel less tense. It feels like it's hugging you back. Without having to do anything for it. Just holding it is enough.

Most people notice it from the very first night.

Reason 2: 91% fall asleep faster and more peacefully

Many people who sleep badly know the feeling: you're lying in bed, you're tired, but your mind just keeps going. You toss and turn, you check your phone, you try to relax but it just doesn't work.

What a Lotgenootje does is break that pattern. The gentle weight helps your body settle down faster, so you spend less time tossing and turning and find sleep more easily. Customer research shows that 91% of people report falling asleep faster and more peacefully. Not occasionally, but every night.

The Sheep makes this even more enjoyable with his extra soft coat. Because the nicer he feels to hold, the easier it is to let go.

Reason 3: It works for people who have tried everything

I receive a lot of messages from people who were skeptical. Who had already tried everything, like a weighted blanket, meditation apps or sleeping pills. And who had basically stopped believing anything would help.

A Lotgenootje works differently. You don't need to do any exercises or stick to a fixed routine. The calming feeling comes on its own, just by holding him.

That sounds simple. But for people who have been struggling with sleep or stress for years, simple is sometimes exactly what works.

Reason 4: He's there for you, wherever you are

A weighted blanket works, but I hear the same drawbacks about it time and again. Too warm in summer, and too heavy to take with you or move around.

A Lotgenootje goes with you. He fits wherever you need a moment of rest, on the couch during the day, at work or in bed. And because he's yours, you don't have to share him with anyone.

So you always have something close by that helps you relax, exactly when you need it.

Reason 5: Stock is limited, be quick

With our last launch, the Koala sold out completely within 4 days. Some people then had to wait 3 months for a new delivery.

The Sheep is now available with limited stock, so hopefully you can get yours soon.

Happy cuddling.
