The Hugget pillows have a unique, knot-inspired shape where each pillow looks like a large spherical knot. This design is inspired by research from both child therapists and sleep scientists, which both concluded that hugging a weighted, tense ball is good for promoting various functions; namely reducing stress and promoting sleep. The Hugget pillows are available in three sizes, with the smallest being fit for [young children](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kid-cubes) and the largest being suited to full-size adults. The smallest Hugget pillow retails for $29 USD, while the largest costs $129 USD. Each pillow is available in nine colors ranging from bright pink to dark gray.
