What it is like to use
Sized for a lap or a chest. Frequently the item people are most embarrassed to buy and most attached to afterwards, so it is worth writing the card so nobody feels talked down to.
How to choose
Weight and size first, animal second. The dragon is ten pounds and nearly three feet, so it is a weight to lie under rather than something to hold. The otter is four pounds and made to be hugged. The rest land around 23 inches, and four of those differ only by which animal you want, so choose between them on looks alone. The dog with the removable cover is the only one you can put through a machine.
Where to get one
- Dragon, 10 lb, 35 in on Amazon
By far the heaviest and largest here. This is a body length weight, not a lap plush.
- Cat, 23 in, heatable and coolable on Amazon
- Dog, 24 in, 4.5 lb, washable cover on Amazon
The removable washable cover is the practical difference. Most weighted plush cannot go in a machine.
- Dog, 23 in, heatable and coolable on Amazon
- Cow, 23 in, heatable and coolable on Amazon
- Owl, 23 in, heatable and coolable on Amazon
- Otter, 18 in, 4.1 lb on Amazon
The smallest, and shaped to be hugged rather than laid across the body.
