What makes our 12 inch size special
Why 12 Inch Squishmallows Are Our Most Popular Size
Our 12 inch Squishmallows represent the sweet spot in our size range, offering the perfect balance of cuddliness and practicality. We’ve sold millions of 12 inch plush across our lineup of over 150 characters, making this our best-selling dimension year after year.
This medium size is large enough to provide satisfying hugs and comfort but compact enough to fit in backpacks, luggage, and display spaces. We designed the 12 inch format specifically for versatility – it works beautifully as a pillow during travel, a desk companion at work or school, or a bedtime buddy for kids and adults alike.
Materials and Construction Details
Every 12 inch Squishmallow is crafted from premium polyester plush fabric that delivers our signature marshmallow-soft texture. We use only high-quality materials that meet strict safety standards, making our products suitable for all ages from newborns to adults.
Our proprietary filling creates the distinctive squish that gives Squishmallows their name. Unlike traditional stuffed animals filled with beads or pellets, we use ultra-soft polyester fiber that compresses when squeezed and gently returns to shape. This filling is hypoallergenic, lightweight, and maintains its loft even after years of hugging.
Care Instructions and Maintenance
Your 12 inch Squishmallows are designed for easy care and long-lasting softness. We recommend machine washing on a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Place your Squishmallow in a mesh laundry bag or pillowcase to protect it during the wash cycle.
For drying, we suggest air drying by laying flat or tumble drying on low heat. High heat can damage the polyester fibers over time, so always use the lowest heat setting if machine drying. Most 12 inch Squishmallows dry completely within 4-6 hours when air dried, or about 30-40 minutes on low tumble dry.
