Cuddly toy recommendations for adults, hear me out

I'm having a horrible time for various reasons and last week in work there was a lovely large cuddly toy for a prop for a show that I ended up crying into. It was actually really comforting, I am rarely held or anything and I just loved the softness, the size (not ridiculously large but it filled my lap and went up to my chin).
I can't get a pet but I could get a cuddly toy. Can anyone recommend one? I don't think I want a weighted blanket, somehow the toy having a face helped 🤣
Does anyone else have a toy for this reason? Never thought I'd be buying soft toys for myself in my mid forties!

Definitely go and choose in person. Even though the bears may nominally be the same style, some will have lovely faces and some will look grumpy.

Or despite my last post this one looks lovely and cuddly and gets very good reviews:

I would go to IKEA- they have a whole area of different animals, shapes and sizes and you could test them 😂

Jellycat dragon. DD2 has the medium sized persimmon one and I love cuddling it and stroking it. It's got sort of a fat belly and the long neck sits on your chest. I'm thinking of getting one for myself!

I sleep with three, 2 Steiff teddies and one small Red Panda.

Depends what size you want, any larger ones can take up the same space as a small child, so how big is your bed?

I am jealous of the bears and red panda!
