The one you love, in huggable form.
Send us a photo. Pick the shape that matters (the dog, the kid, the two of you) and we'll make it a pillow, cut to that exact shape.
From $39. About a week to your door.

Off to college. This stays home.
How it works
What you bring. What we make. What ships.
Send a photo.
A clear shot where your subject stands out, the kind already on your phone. Pets, people, places, things: if you can photograph it, it can be a pillow.
Pick the shape.
We trace the shapes in your photo and show them to you. Tap the one you want, choose a size, and we do the hard part.
It arrives huggable.
Printed bright, cut to your shape, sewn, and filled plump. About a week to your door.
Materials
Soft, bright, sturdy.
A smooth polyester cover with the photo printed right into the fabric, so it won't peel or crack. Sewn shut around a plump insert: no zipper to scratch, nothing to lose.
Sizes
Three sizes of hug.
10", 16", or 22", measured across the square your shape fits inside. The 16" is the crowd favourite: big enough to hug, small enough to travel.
Delivery
Delivery in about a week.
Made in the USA and shipped to US addresses, roughly 5 to 8 business days from order to door.
Questions
Good questions
What photos work best?
One where your subject is clear of the edges and stands out from the background: daylight helps, clutter doesn't. You'll see the shapes we found before you decide, so there's no guessing.
Will it be cut exactly to the shape?
Very close. We trace snugly around your subject and leave a slim margin of the photo's background at the edge, which is where the seam lives. Your subject never gets swallowed by the stitching.
What about gaps inside the shape, like under an arm?
Small openings inside a shape get filled in rather than cut out; that's the honest limit of sewing a pillow. We show you the exact shape before you add it to the cart.
What if none of the shapes look right?
Try another photo; a clearer shot almost always fixes it. And if the pillow that arrives isn't right, write to us and we'll make it right.
How fast can I get it?
About a week to your door in the US, roughly 5 to 8 business days. It currently ships to US addresses only.
Can I make more than one?
Yes. One photo can hold several shapes worth keeping; each pillow is its own piece.
From Julian.
Some photos are too good to stay flat. The dog mid-zoomie, the kid mid-laugh, the truck that's been in the family longer than you have. The Armful takes the shape you love out of the photo and makes it something you can actually hold. I hope yours gets properly worn in.
