Elliefant is a soft and comforting stuffed animal that imitates soothing breathing, glows faintly in the belly and records your voice or soft lullabies. Perfect when you want your child to feel safe – even when you are not there.

The smooth surface, gentle colors and sweet expression make Elliefant a beloved friend in bed. It helps the child relax, stimulates the senses and creates a safe sleeping environment - night after night.

Research shows that sensory aids – such as soft stuffed animals with rhythmic movement, soothing sounds and dim lights – can have a positive effect on children’s sleep. Similar methods are used in neonatal care to mimic the presence of parents and create security. Studies suggest that such stimuli can reduce stress levels, improve sleep quality and support the child’s emotional development.

Our second daughter was incredibly easily awakened and couldn't sleep without me around. As soon as I thought about leaving the bed, she started screaming. I tried everything but nothing helped – until I remembered how neonatal wards create security even without a parent. I found a sensory stuffed animal in the US that simulated breathing and security. Suddenly my daughter could sleep peacefully – and I got my evenings back. We named her Elliefant. The rest is history.
