How do therapeutic pads work?
Heated or cooled, our therapeutic pads releases humidity that helps soothe aches and pains. This humidity has an anti-inflammatory effect that promotes relaxation.
Two therapeutic teddies, according to age
Béké-Bobo has two teddy bear sizes to choose from, available in various adorable styles:
The therapeutic teddy bear for little ones
Our small therapeutic teddy bear measures some 18 cm high by 13 cm wide. It’s best suited for little ones, but is adored by both young and old, thanks to its small size that makes it easy to press against the most painful areas.
Our therapeutic bear for 6 years +
Perfect for children aged 6 years old and over (or as soon as your child weighs more than 55 lbs), the therapeutic bear for 6 and up is bigger in size than its version for little ones, and three times heavier. It measures 26 cm x 17 cm and weighs 1 kg.

And, for parents who might be tempted to borrow their children’s teddy bear, Béké Bobo has also designed thermotherapy pads for adults.

A therapeutic teddy bear made to last
Handmade in Quebec, Canada, the Béké-Bobo therapeutic teddy bear is made to last. It is made with a cotton pouch filled with a patented blend of organic cereals, and covered with resistant 100% polyester Minky fabric.
Replacement covers
A replacement cover for your therapeutic teddy bear can be quite useful. No more waiting for your cover to dry after it’s been washed! We highly recommend it if you use your therapeutic teddy bear on a daily basis!
And cereal pouches!
If unfortunately your cereal pouch has been in contact with water or fluid – for instance if you’ve washed it by mistake – you’ll need to replace it! Rather than purchasing a new therapeutic teddy bear, consider purchasing a cereal pouch to replace the one inserted in your current Béké-Bobo bear.
