30s, still have one

It's a little yellow bear. And it's age is definitely showing. The stuffing has been replaced, the fur has has to be re-fluffed, some holed patched, and now there are more holes that need patched.

Part of keeping it is utility, it's a nice pillow to keep my arm in the right position. Part of it I'd sentimental.

My fiancé got a weighted dragon plush, it's long, like a 1/3rd sized body pillow. And I'm kinds jealous of her having it. So when I retire my yellow bear I might switch to that.

I don't normally sleep with a stuffed animal but when my two toddlers are spending the night at my inlaws, I'll sometimes grab a couple of their stuffies to sleep with because I miss them and it makes me feel better.

Tutter fuckin’ rules.

I'm 43 and I had to retire my favorite stuffed animal because his arm was getting threadbare and I was afraid it would fall off, so now he sits on my makeup desk. His name is Rufus and he was Avon's Christmas 1982 Plush Puppy.

My current stuffed animal is a lion cub I bought in the mid-2000s to take with me on my study abroad in Paris. His name is Ruffles (like the potato chip).

40s here, wearing my kitty onesie in bed with a stuffed owl.

Reading the comments and didn't expect to feel like the odd one out regarding this. 38, haven't slept with my stuffed animals since probably before I was twelve? Am I strange? I guess I just don't feel insecure without them. 🤷‍♂️

I'm glad you posted this. My 35ish year old Bear Bear often gets tossed out of bed in the middle of the night because I adjust sheets or whatever and noticed just now he wasn't with me. I found him, but he's been through thick and thin with me.

His color has long faded. His stuffing incredibly compressed. Probably more fragile than I want to believe.

I love my sheep okay

38 and have my stuffed dog and wolf in bed with me. My real dog is jealous, but she's in the bed too.

it's all fun and games until you start wearing them

I still sleep with a nightlight and I'm in my late twenties

Get a pitty. They'll make sure you go to bed on time, too. Worked for The Little Rascals.

37 years old, I have the plush elefant, rabbit, polar bear, koala and toad I grew up with sitting on a chest of drawers next to my bed, my toad especially means a lot to me, it is in my list of five things I would try to save in case of a fire.

Swapped it for a real animal personally 😅

thirties*

Unfortunately my stuffed animals have been relegated to living in the closet since my real animal takes up their former bed space, and also loves shredding plushies lol. But that was me until a few years ago!

Just turned 40 and have a Giggle Scape Purple Hippo next to me right now.

I mean, they're better company than the vast majority of the human race.
