BlakeJordan Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Hi everyone! I’m looking for a teddy bear to sleep with. The COVID 19 isolation (I’m in a high risk group), lack of touch, and finding the want/need to hug something while I sleep led me to the idea of a teddy bear. I’d like the surface to be fairly smooth, hold heat, or be able to be heated in someway. I want it to double as a body pillow for my upper half, and with some weight to it. Medium firmness, think memory pillow level of firm, but impressionable. Thickness of a medium large pillow. Prolly shorter arms, so I can hold it close. Would be nice to be able to to have its “skin and fur” be washable. Once upon a time I saw a pillow that was super to perform such a function. Even had a heart beat of sorts, so that type of thing is a bonus as well. I’m not super set on any style, color, and open to other stuffiies. My hope is this can help with emotional comfort/touch. Anxiety (heft/weight, like a weighted blanket) and physical pain by giving my limbs somewhere to rest. I know those oversized bears exist but they seem too cumbersome/thick/novelty. I dunno if such a stuffie exists but can’t imagine I’m the first one to want something like this, be it abdl marketed or a product that has risen in response to a need due to the pandemic. If it matters I’m in the US. I’m about 5 ft 9.5” petite frame (weight around 130 lbs). Any and all suggestions are welcome even if it’s not exactly what I have in mind. I have no idea what pricing would be for an item such as this, so leave that open. Thanks in advance! Link to comment
diaperguy Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Check out Build A Bears website. They do make bigger bears. Not sure about the kind of bear your looking for. Also ebay and amazon might have them. Im a huge collector of build a bears. All sorts of sizes and textures. I also collect Stitch stuff. I have a huge 3ft Stitch on my bed I cuddle with. I hope this info helps. Link to comment
Crinklz Kat Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I've had my eye on this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F7X978A/?coliid=I2ZNEALGNWK9DI&colid=L9H03DVNQTAV&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it But I'm also fairly large, so I have no troubles with big plushies. I bought this one a few years ago... it's my fave. It's just too bad they're not available anymore (I think the company went bust). But, it's lightly stuffed so easily squishable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078J39DXN/?coliid=I1N7EGXQ7Z6FJF&colid=L9H03DVNQTAV&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Now.... for heft and sheer size, I got my Plushlife_EU Snow Leopard ("snep"). She's big enough to fill 1/2 the bed! They only make 1 item a year - this was 2018's project. And don't even ask about the price. ? Oh, and that's a queen size bed. The comforter I literally just found this week. Link to comment

Here's a pic of my big tiger -- it's really nice getting sandwiched between 2 big plushies. Link to comment
