How does Breathing Technology work?

Our Calming Koala has breathing mechanisms built in that are designed to replicate breathing patterns, which remind you of the comfort of a person or pet. This is achieved by the steady rise and fall of the koala's chest, making it feel like you are sleeping near a real-life person or pet.

How does it help?

1 - Promotes deep sleep and relaxation 

Calming Koala promotes deep sleep and relaxion by calming down your nervous system when you lay next to it or put it on your stomach. When children hold or place a hand on the bear, they can feel this motion, which mimics the calming rhythm of real breathing. This sensation can encourage kids to sync their own breathing with the toy, promoting deep breathing that can help reduce stress and anxiety.

2 - Reduces anxiety

Our Calming Koala comes with built-in sounds like soft lullabies, white noise, and nature sounds (like ocean waves), which can enhance the calming effect. These sounds can mask external noise and help children, or adults, focus on their breathing, which can help reduce anxiety.

3 - Helps control panic attacks

Panic attacks often involve rapid, shallow breathing, which can make symptoms worse. Calming Koala simulates slow breathing patterns, encouraging the person to slow down their breathing. Syncing one’s breathing to the toy’s rhythm can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which can calm the body down and reduce panic symptoms. Our Calming Koala also plays soothing sounds, which can help mask stressful noise in the environment and give a calm focal point to concentrate on. Calming sounds like white noise or gentle nature sounds can ease the mind during high-anxiety moments.

4 - Helps breathing control

Our Calming Koala helps with breathing control as the people using it can match their breathing with the Koalas making them take deeper breaths and focus on how they breathe, which helps control breathing more.
