For me personally I have a few. The two I have are a dog (Cerberus) from resident evil so it’s a zombie dog lmao, has patches of skin exposed and bones. And also a small Rosalina plush who is my smash bros main (😭 college athlete). Then I also have an elephant which has been with me since I was a child.

Honestly to those who don’t have one I would say get one if you want as they do have benefits, they help you relax and get easier sleep and just overall help on cold winter days and keep you warm.

I’ve seen a lot of guys admit to sleeping with them on Reddit and then the others are usually the “too macho for that” kind of guys with a few douchebags mixed in.

Personally for me I don’t find it childish at all, it’s perfectly fine to have them as an adult.

I don’t really cuddle with them as just have them around. Though I will cuddle occasionally if I want to relax and just kinda take a nap. Except for the elephant as it’s not really soft or plushy like it’s more of a firm thing.

Overall they are beneficial and just kind of fun to have.

Though I suppose weighted plushies would be better for sleep as those things help a lot but so do weight blankets as they really do help you relax, for some it feels almost the same as having a dog or cat sleep on you and is comforting in a companion like way.
