By holding the cushion close to your chest and abdomen, it produces subtle vibrations that encourage slower and deeper breathing, effectively reducing stress levels. Within just 5 minutes, this cushion can have a calming effect on your nerves.

Our bodies naturally experience a decrease in stress levels when we hug someone or hold a pet or baby in our arms. The adorable Fufuly cushion operates in a similar manner, providing a comforting experience.
