1. Soothing deep pressure for a peaceful night's sleep

The weighted filling of Lotgenootje (2kg) provides a soft, even pressure over your entire body.

This deep pressure stimulates the production of serotonin (the happiness hormone) and melatonin (the sleep hormone) , while stress hormones such as cortisol decrease.

"Since I've had my Support Group, I feel much more relaxed in bed. It's like getting a reassuring hug before going to sleep."

2. Worry less, relax more

A Lotgenootje offers more than just weight: it feels like a real hug .

This sense of security helps you let go of worrying thoughts . Perfect for those prone to stress, anxiety, or simply longing for a peaceful end to the day.

3. Sleep better naturally, without medication

Many people prefer not to use medication, but still become frustrated after weeks or months without a good night's sleep. Lotgenootje offers a natural solution: deep pressure that calms the body and helps induce sleep , without side effects and without dependency.

I was so tired from trying everything. From warm milk to melatonin and even sleeping pills… but nothing really gave me peace. Until I got my Support Group. It might sound strange, but it immediately felt familiar. Like I finally had something that really helps me. I sleep better, but above all, I feel calmer in my head.

4. Safety and security as a basis for deep sleep

Whether you're a child struggling to fall asleep or an adult struggling with tension or overstimulation, your sleep quality is strongly linked to your sense of security . A support group offers that feeling, every night.

This sense of security activates the parasympathetic nervous system , leading to deeper, more restorative sleep for young and old.

"I noticed that I only really relaxed when I held him. It was like you weren't alone for a while. "

5. Sleep = recovery, for body and mind

Deep sleep is essential for processing stimuli, emotional balance, and physical recovery , regardless of your age. If you don't get that rest, tension builds up. A Lotgenootje helps your body release that tension.

The result? You start the day feeling refreshed. And that makes everything easier.

"Since I started sleeping with a support worker, I feel clearer during the day. As if my mind has truly had some rest ."

Highly recommended! I heard about Lotgenootje from a friend. I thought the stuffed animals were so beautiful, and a wonderful initiative for people who need it. That's why I ordered one. And it really works! The cuddle toy hugs back, very special. So I highly recommend it.

Great stuffed animal, I sleep well with it. It also comes downstairs with me to cuddle occasionally. The weight of the cuddle toy makes it special. I once had a weighted blanket, but this is better.
