Giant Stuffed Animals

Big hugs need big friends. The giant lane holds plush from about 2 feet to over 5 feet long — four-foot teddy bears, lifelike giraffes that stand taller than a preschooler and huge squishy pillows shaped like animals. Measure the corner before you adopt: these friends take up real room.

Big plush, real room

Giant stuffed animals are as much furniture as toy: a reading pillow, a photo-shoot partner, a guardian for a teen's bed. Lifelike giants stand on their own, while floppy and pillow-style giants are made to be leaned on.

Check the inches against your space before you adopt. Many big friends arrive vacuum-packed and need a day to fluff back up — a gentle shake and a brush help the fur recover.

Questions about giant stuffed animals

How big is a giant stuffed animal?

On this lane, giant means roughly 24 inches and up. The biggest friends here measure 4 to 5 feet and arrive compressed — fluff them for a day before the big reveal.

How do you clean a giant teddy bear?

Spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it air-dry completely. Most giant plush is too large for a home washer; our washing guide covers the details.
