Frequently asked questions
What exactly are Squishmallows?
Imagine hugging a cloud that has a face and personality – that’s a Squishmallow! They are ultra-soft, marshmallow-like plush toys made from a super-soft spandex and polyester fiber blend. They’re designed for maximum squeezability and comfort, making them perfect for cuddling, collecting, or even just as a comfy pillow.
Why are they so incredibly soft and squishy?
It’s all in the unique blend of materials! Their outer fabric is incredibly smooth, and they’re stuffed with a highly resilient, super-soft polyester fiber. This combination allows them to “squish” down and then slowly return to their original shape, providing that signature satisfying feel. They’re basically engineered for optimal huggability!
Are there different kinds of Squishmallows?
Oh, absolutely! There are thousands! Squishmallows come in an astonishing variety of characters. You’ll find everything from realistic animals (cats, dogs, bears, sea creatures) to mythical creatures (unicorns, dragons), food items (avocados, boba tea, fries), and even seasonal or holiday-themed designs. Each one has its own unique look, often with charming embroidered details.
Do they come in different sizes?
Yes, they do! Squishmallows are available in a wide range of sizes, from tiny 8cm/3.5-inch clip-ons you can attach to your bag, all the way up to giant 60cm/24-inch (or even larger!) plushies that could practically be a beanbag chair. The most common sizes for collecting are usually between 20cm/8inch and 40cm/16 inches.
Do Squishmallows have names and personalities?
You bet! Every single Squishmallow has a unique name and a short bio or “squish-story” printed on its hang tag. These little stories give them a fun personality and often hint at their hobbies, dreams, or favorite things. It adds another layer of charm for collectors and makes them feel even more like cherished companions.
Why are they so popular with adults, not just kids?
Their appeal spans all ages! For adults, Squishmallows offer a unique blend of comfort, nostalgia, and stress relief. Their soft texture is incredibly soothing, making them perfect for anxiety relief or just a cozy cuddle after a long day. Plus, the joy of collecting different characters and “squads” is a fun hobby, transcending typical toy boundaries. Who doesn’t love a huggable friend?
