If you’re chronically online like I am, chances are you’ve heard about the famous chubby seal pillow. Manufactured by the company MerryXD, the iconic plushie is both adorable and tremendously comfortable, making for the perfect cuddle buddy. And right now, the beloved stuffed toy is on sale for 35% off at Amazon. Needless to say, it’s an avid snuggle bug’s dream-come-true.
If you haven’t seen MerryXD’s famous Chubby Blob Seal Pillow, it’s truly a sight to behold. The large cotton plush measures at just over two feet long. And since it’s filled to the brim with PP cotton filling, it’s beyond huggable. Whether you use it as a stuffed animal, decorative throw pillow or to rest your head for a quick nap, it’s both soft and adorable. Regardless of its purpose, it’s bound to spread some smiles.
Because the plush is so large, it comes delivered in a vacuum-sealed bag. So, to help it regain its original shape, the brand recommends throwing it in the dryer or laying it out in the sun. You can unwrap it and let it sit for a few days so it can expand back to its normal size.
With almost 15,000 ratings, the seal pillow has amassed 4.4 stars. And in the reviews, shoppers seem to like its soft texture and adorable appearance. “My nephew loved it! It’s fluffy and soft. The details are also very nice. It’s lightweight and put together well,” one shopper writes. “It’s held up just fine for about a month so far with no foreseeable issues. I did take the advice of another review and threw it in the dryer for about 10 minutes. Puffed up nicely and had a lot less wrinkles. I’d definitely purchase again.”
Another reviewer says it’s a great nap time buddy for young children. “This plush animal is the perfect substitute for the ‘pillow’ required for kindergarten students to bring in to use during naps! It is the perfect size to fit nicely in a school backpack, the perfect size and fluffiness to use as a pillow, and provides the comfort of a cuddly all at the same time,” the review reads. “Withstands several weekly washes (no dryer) without any deterioration of the item. Awesome value for the low price! Loved!!”
At 35% off, the price of the seal comes down from $32 to just $21. As a nap-time necessity, this is a deal we can’t refuse.
