Our Story
Melliboo was born from a simple idea: sometimes, all you need is a hug. We set out to create plush companions with a purpose - soft, premium-quality toys that don’t just look cute, but also help people feel calm, focused, and comforted in everyday life.
What started as a love for playful design quickly grew into something more meaningful. By combining super-soft fabrics, thoughtful details, and gentle weighted pressure, Melliboo became more than a toy - it became a trusted companion for kids, teens, and adults alike.
Our story is one of comfort, care, and connection. Every Melliboo is designed to give hugs that never let go - wherever life takes you.
Whether you’re a child navigating bedtime, a teen feeling overwhelmed, or an adult managing daily stress, sometimes- all it takes is the feeling of a steady hug to feel okay again.
Why Melliboo?
Life can be stressful. Whether it’s the first day of school, a big exam, a long day at work, or simply winding down before bed, we all crave comfort. Melliboos are:
-
Weighted plush toys with extra-long arms that wrap around you like a real hug.
-
Made with super-soft, sensory-friendly fabrics and thoughtfully distributed weight for calming pressure.
-
Designed with 3D details (like paws, noses, and cheeks) to encourage sensory play.
-
Tested to Australian safety standards for peace of mind.
From the smallest Mini Melliboo (100g) to the full-size weighted plushies (1.9kg) and the bedtime-ready Sleeping Buddies, every Melliboo is created to be a hug you can take anywhere.
Each Melliboo is thoughtfully made with gentle, science-backed weight that helps activate the body's natural calming response. Weighted pressure has been shown to reduce anxiety, improve focus, support emotional regulation, and help with sleep.
