Equivalent to a Teddy for a 36 year old?

[Northernlightx]

I have had a fairly tough year and really benefit from a weighted blanket on top of my duvet when I go to bed. I’m single, and wondered if there’s anything else on the market that could help me feel safe, snuggly and cocooned when I go to bed? Last night I ended up looking up teddys but thought perhaps there’s something else I could go for. Thanks ❤️‍🩹

just adding this @Northernlightx

these are all over tick tok. Haven’t tried it myself

Second vote for the fuzz-a-mallow version of a squishmallow. I have the big beaver one and am cuddling it under a blanket right now feeling very sorry for myself as I’m loaded with cold.

I have a big octopus plushie. There's always an arm/leg to hold!

you can get teddies that breathe and are supposed to be great for anxiety and sleep

I have a teddy
It comes with me on every holiday-
It then has photos taken and he has a profile on facebook with over 2,200 friends
His been to some wonderful places

A teddy can be for adults too!

(Off to change my username 🤣)

Oh LOOK! 2,200 people can’t be wrong. I love that, thank you for sharing it.

I have just seen that today is International Teddy Bear Day! A very pleasant coincidence 🧸

I use my bbhugme pregnancy pillow in the same way - doesn’t look like a pregnancy pillow so not that weird IMO. Expensive but mine is good as new 7 years later.

Hot water bottle is best by the feet.

A cat! Mine loves being under the covers for cuddles 🤣. She can be a bit wriggly though

Get a teddy! I sleep with my bear factory bear (now build a bear), my winter mouse teddy and a jelly cat black cat. I usually cuddle the mouse. He has a lovely red jumper. I’m 40!

Nearly adult DD has a djungelskog and he is so soft and squishy. Sometimes I cuddle up to him while I'm in her room talking to her. He's huge and very comforting.

My electric blanket is very therapeutic. As are my cats.

I have three cats 🐈, I highly recommend them.

Heated throw, hot water bottle, fleece sheet/duvet, one of those lights that casts a moon or stars on the ceiling. Bigger teddy!

Disclaimer, I also opted for a cat.

Cat

I vote for a warmie as then it doubles as a hot water bottle.
I have one and it’s lovely and soft.

A Warmie!

These are also weighted - with wheat and lavender because they're microwaveable:

Those warmies look good, but how big are they?

Probably depends which one and how you measure but mine's about 25cm tall.

Marks do some lovely Spencer Bear hot water bottles at the moment
