Good questions.
A little more to help you decide.
Does Cove breathe by itself?
Your breath moves Cove. It is a passive, weighted companion with no electronics. Its weight encourages lower-belly breathing; its rise and fall gives you movement to feel.
Do I need experience with breathwork?
No previous practice is needed. Lie flat on your back, place Cove across your lower belly, and breathe gently into that area. Notice the rise and settling without forcing your breath.
Who is Cove for?
The intended audience is adults and teens 14+, with appropriate product fit. Cove is intended for awake use.
Is it only for the end of the day?
Your end-of-day ritual is a place to begin. Cove is also something to reach for whenever you need to downshift, find your calm, and come back to feeling grounded and centered.
How much does it weigh, and how do I care for it?
Each Cove weighs 3.9 kg (8.6 lb). The outer is alpaca, wool and polyester; hand wash only.
Why does the weight help?
Resting on your lower belly, Cove draws each breath down into your lower lungs. You feel it rise and fall, breath by breath, and noticing the weight moves your attention out of a busy mind and into your body. And there’s a reason we reach for something soft when we need comfort.
How is this different from a weighted blanket?
While weighted blankets provide all-over pressure, Breath Buddy specifically targets the lower belly: the key area for diaphragmatic breathing.
