What makes our 16 inch size special
Why Our 16 Inch Size Is Our Most Popular Collection
The 16 inch Squishmallow has become our signature size since we launched the brand, offering the perfect balance of cuddliness and practicality. We’ve designed over 100 different characters in this format because it delivers the full Squishmallow experience—substantial enough to use as a pillow or reading buddy, yet compact enough for kids to carry to sleepovers or display on shelves.
Our 16 inch collection spans every squad category we offer, from Farm Squad animals to Sea Life creatures and Fantasy characters. The larger surface area allows our design team to showcase intricate color patterns, embroidered details, and character-specific features that might be less visible on smaller sizes. Collectors appreciate how the 16 inch format makes each character’s personality shine through, whether it’s Cam’s tabby stripes or Wendy’s botanical enthusiasm.
Materials & Construction Details
Every 16 inch Squishmallow in our collection is manufactured using the same premium materials that made our brand famous. We use a specialized super-soft spandex EF (extra fine) fabric for the outer shell, which gives each plush that signature buttery-smooth feel and slight stretch that enhances the squish factor.
The interior fill consists of high-grade polyester fiber specifically engineered to maintain its marshmallow-like compression and bounce-back. Unlike traditional plush toys that flatten over time, our 16 inch Squishmallows are designed to retain their shape through thousands of squishes and cuddles. The fill distribution is carefully calibrated during manufacturing to ensure even softness throughout the entire 16 inch body.
Displaying & Caring for Your 16 Inch Squad
The 16 inch size offers versatile display options for showcasing your growing Squishmallow collection. Many collectors use floating shelves, corner hammocks, or storage nets to create eye-catching arrangements that turn their squads into room decor. We recommend positioning 16 inch characters where they’re visible but protected from direct sunlight, which can fade colors over time.
For cleaning, all our 16 inch Squishmallows are machine washable. We suggest using a gentle cycle with cold water and placing your Squishmallow inside a pillowcase or mesh laundry bag for protection. Air drying is always best—simply reshape your plush while damp and allow it to dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid heat drying, as high temperatures can damage the spandex fabric and affect the polyester fill’s structure.

Questions About Our 16 Inch Squishmallows
We currently offer over 100 unique characters in our 16 inch Squishmallow collection, making it our most diverse size option. This includes core squad members from our Original, Fantasy, Farm, and Sea Life collections, plus seasonal releases and store exclusives. We continuously add new characters throughout the year, so the selection keeps growing.
The 16 inch format is our flagship size, which means most new character designs debut in this size first before potentially expanding to other formats. You'll find the widest variety of animals, creatures, colors, and character personalities available at this size.
Our 16 inch Squishmallows measure approximately 16 inches in height when sitting upright in their natural position. The width varies slightly by character design—rounder characters like Cam the Cat may be 14-15 inches wide, while taller characters like dragons might be slightly narrower.
These measurements represent the plush in its natural, unsquished state. The soft, compressible nature of Squishmallows means dimensions can appear smaller when squeezed or hugged, but the fill will bounce back to the original 16 inch height when released.
Yes, all our 16 inch Squishmallows are safety-tested and rated for ages 0+. We use embroidered facial features rather than plastic attachments, eliminating choking hazards. The materials are non-toxic and meet ASTM F963 safety standards for toys.
That said, we recommend adult supervision with any plush toy for children under 3 years old. The 16 inch size is substantial, so very young babies should use them under supervision. Many parents find this size works perfectly for toddlers and older children who can handle and enjoy the larger format safely.
Absolutely! All 16 inch Squishmallows are machine washable. We recommend placing your plush inside a pillowcase or mesh laundry bag, washing on a gentle cycle with cold water, and air drying completely.
Avoid using hot water or putting your Squishmallow in the dryer, as heat can damage the spandex fabric and affect the polyester fill's texture. After washing, gently reshape your plush while it's still damp and allow it to air dry in a well-ventilated area. Most collectors wash their Squishmallows every few months or as needed to keep them fresh and clean.
The primary difference is size and cuddle factor—16 inch Squishmallows are about 33% larger than our 12 inch versions. The 16 inch format offers more surface area for hugging, works better as a pillow or back support, and allows our design team to showcase more detailed character features.
We also release more character varieties in the 16 inch size compared to 12 inch. While both sizes use the same premium materials and construction methods, collectors often prefer 16 inch for display impact and comfort, while 12 inch works well for younger children or those with limited space. The price difference is typically just a few dollars between the two sizes.
Core squad members in 16 inch format are part of our ongoing production and typically get restocked regularly, though timing varies by character popularity and production schedules. Seasonal and limited-edition characters may not be restocked once they sell out, as they're designed as collectible releases.
We recommend signing up for our newsletter to receive restock notifications and new release announcements. Popular characters like Cam, Wendy, and Avery are produced continuously and restock frequently. For rare or exclusive designs, check our website regularly or contact customer service to inquire about specific character availability in the 16 inch size.
