From Bearaby's website: Benji Bear is a weighted stuffed bear that helps you feel calm and comforted, made of 100% cotton knit and tension-melting Terraclay™. This weighted stuffed animal calms anxiety and helps you transition into a restful mindset, setting you up for deep, restorative sleep. Benji Bear has a huggably heavy belly that relaxes your pressure points to promote grounding. To help you feel even more secure, Benji Bear has super paws that are extra snug and extra weighted - and a chocolate brown belly, which is ultra snug and squidgy. You can hold, hug, or carry Benji whenever you need extra help feeling calm! Interior: Terraclay™ and GRS-certified recycled polyester fill Exterior: 100% BCI-certified cotton Machine wash cold inside a laundry bag. Tumble dry low. Dimensions: 8.75" x 16.75" Weight: 3.5 lbs *I always wonder why others sell what they sell - this was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my son, then I found him a weighted fox (not as cute or washable, but foxes are his animal), so I wanted to exchange Benji Bear for Bearaby's cow or rabbit, and that wasn't a possibility. I didn't open the box/package until I took photos today, and then Benji went right back in!
