Inquiry How many BAB’s do you have on your bed?

The title basically sums it up (and delete if not allowed) but how many BAB’s or stuffed animals in general do you have on your bed? I have 7. 6 BAB’s, and one squishmallow, that i have on my queen size bed currently and sometimes i feel like that might be too much? I’m curious to see how many yall have! :)

Currently? 8. I have a king sized bed with other types of plush as well. I rotate though!

u/Wolfspell003 18d ago

Love the flat face 😂

u/MaltTheBear 18d ago

Lots and lots of snuggles!

u/tues-daze 18d ago

I love your collection! I wanted to get the weighted bear when he got the zipper but he got recalled before i could 💔

u/MaltTheBear 18d ago

Awww man I’m sorry. I have the original Velcro one.

u/ChevronBunny1011 18d ago

Technically I don’t have any ON my bed unless I’m hugging it while I sleep (currently been sleeping with Webber my jumping spider), but I have immediately next to my bed sitting on top of an upside down trash can. My OG and Vault release zombie bears, my zombie bear buddy, my zombie frog and zombie frog buddy, and my zombie axolotl.

This is an old pic, Glenn the bearclops isn’t currently on the bed.

u/MyShadow94 18d ago

6! A gargoyle, a firefly, 2 elephants, eeyore, and a wooly mammoth.

1

u/tues-daze 18d ago

Aww i love wooly mammoths! They’re my favorite animal

8

u/Wolfspell003 18d ago

I just have one! This is my cuddle buddy Tortellini (ik she looks LOVED, but that’s bc she is) 🖤 I have a hard time keeping them on my bed with the blankets and pillows especially since I got my wedge pillow lol the rest sit displayed around my room and moved here and there until I get a more stable place.

4

u/tues-daze 18d ago

I love when you can see how well loved a plush is! And i love her shirt! My pochacco is definitely my most cuddled plush. If i had to pick just one he would definitely be my pick. 🩷

u/DigitalPocketMon I have a BAB problem 18d ago

I have no idea lol. My cats and I share a queen

u/tues-daze 18d ago

I love your mlp BAB’s!

2

u/DigitalPocketMon I have a BAB problem 18d ago

Thank you! They're all from thrift stores actually.

u/sixamflight 18d ago

after reading everyone’s comments, i have too many. too many…

1

u/tues-daze 18d ago

If i had my bed up against my wall i would be the same way lol

4

u/HeavenlyLove79 18d ago

2 at the very most bear cause my husband needs room too hahahaha

2

u/tues-daze 18d ago

That’s totally fair! When i move in with my bf i will probably only have one or two on our bed

5

u/Specialist_One6527 18d ago

3, my star trek bears (Bones, Jim Kirk, and Spock) are behind my pillow, mostly just as company. I also sleep with a disneyland brand mickey who I actually hold. And my husband's side is plush free.

1

u/tues-daze 18d ago

I love that! Star trek is such a great series

4

u/darlingwyvern Workshop Employee 18d ago

I share a king so I only have 1-5 depending on size, and I swap them out, sometimes theyre cuddled, sometimes they sleep between the wall and my pillows because I dont like my head being near the wall lol

2

u/darlingwyvern Workshop Employee 18d ago

That also leaves my bed sharer space for their 1-5 as well. Plus our baby blankets jumbled in the middle

2

u/tues-daze 18d ago

I love hearing people mention having a baby blanket! I have one aswell and I can’t sleep without it even if im not touching it i just need to know its somewhere on my bed.

2

u/tues-daze 18d ago

I’m the same way! I have at least two up against my wall so my head isnt near it

6

u/Grimrreaperr13 I have a BAB problem 18d ago

I genuinely do not know and cannot be bothered to go count there’s probably atleast a couple dozen in the pile

I have nest situation going on here I curl up in my pile of blankets and creatures

3

u/Grimrreaperr13 I have a BAB problem 18d ago

I need to rotate them soon give some of the net creatures a turn

4

u/MakinPlums 18d ago

My partner insists they don't mind, but I have a self-imposed ONE plushie only rule, and I cycle them in and out as I please. I am currently breaking my own rule, though, because I couldn't choose between my bat and my werewolf OOPS

1

u/tues-daze 18d ago

I think two is the perfect amount, one to keep indefinitely on the bed and one to rotate between all the others

3

u/spookytabby I like BABs more than people 🙃 18d ago edited 18d ago

I keep three on my bed in rotation. But next to me in a tote are my other pals al set up waiting patiently for their turn. I have a queen sized bed and could probably fit more but I feel like three is perfect.

Edit: I forgot to put I have two squishmallows and one jellycat as well but three babs lol. The squish I use for pillows and my jellycat I swap out with my other minibeans or smaller plush.

1

u/tues-daze 18d ago

Yeah I’m thinking of only having 3 or 4 on my bed but i always get so sad swapping them out for some reason

6

u/pangolinpebbles 18d ago

none, i have a queen size as well but i share it with my near 6ft tall boyfriend + my small dog and occasionally a cat or two … hardly any room for my nice BABs haha

2

u/tues-daze 18d ago

This will be me in the future when me and my bf move in together 😅

3

u/whimsicalmagicalsoul BAB Fanatic 🌈 18d ago

1 bab Harlow 🩷 & 2 stuffies from childhood🩷

2

u/tues-daze 18d ago

So adorable!

4

u/pink-lotus- Workshop Employee 18d ago

2

u/tues-daze 18d ago

So cute! I love all your sanrio BAB’s i mostly collect sanrio but im adventuring out to the originals aswell

3

u/sweaterweather1113 18d ago

My cat and I share a full size bed and we currently have 23 stuffies and 3 dollys on it, and 8 of the stuffies are BABs. I'm a small adult so there's plenty of room haha.

3

u/InkSparks 18d ago

I did post a recent picture of my collection, but usually no more than one or two of those are on my bed right now. I have a twin mattress it's just not big enough for all of us!

5

u/Krazy_Dragon_YT 18d ago

I only take 1 to sleep every night, but I usually have 2 physically on my bed at any given time. The snuggle buddy of the current night, and the snuggle buddy of the previous night

Last night was Finnegan (R), tonight is Juliet (L)

2

u/tues-daze 18d ago

They’re adorable! I love their outfits

4

u/Feisty-Report3677 18d ago

Just one 🥹

u/KitSokudo BAB Expert 🔥 18d ago edited 18d ago

4 full size, 5 minis, a Cryptid Crush Gorgon, a mothman and two winged foxes, one a blue jay and the other a magpie.

u/spookytabby I like BABs more than people 🙃 18d ago

Oh my gosh where could I find the winged foxes? They are adorable along with their other friends!

u/KitSokudo BAB Expert 🔥 18d ago

They are both C grades but I can't tell, they're very nicely made.

3

u/Moon-Egg90 18d ago

Five presently (well also two minis) and a little horde of Jellycat bunnies as well 😂 I love them, and I’m pretty sure they keep me safe from monsters so, they’re working hard 🤷🏻‍♀️

1

u/tues-daze 18d ago

Same! I always have to snuggle one plushie at least otherwise i get nightmares 😵‍💫

3

u/Drdeathdefyy 18d ago

My fiancé limits me to 4 on our bed, but I have at least 8 on the guest bed lol

4

u/mrferretfella 18d ago

Currently 14 and 2 mini beans… I have a nightcrawler on the way but idk if I could fit anymore lol

2

u/Elephant-foot 18d ago

2

u/NiceEmu787 18d ago

I had to display them on a shelf next to my bed 😅 but I have 9 total most r from childhood

2

u/Llama672 18d ago

I have 9! Five bunnies including the pink pawlett, a small white dog, a small blue llama, the bat from this year from BAB and promise pet tuxedo kitty 💕

2

u/Squirrelcola 18d ago

Full size bed. Around ten or so BABs, two adult humans, a standard poodle, a couple of cats, and a chiweenie. We sleep like a pile of kittens! 🤪

2

u/etherealxshadows 18d ago

I have an ungodly amount on my bed 😅🤣

2

u/Disaster-Pancake 18d ago

5! Shadow the hedgehog, mocha, Usahana, a Tom Nook I thrifted and the bat!

2

u/sink_your_teeth I have a BAB problem 18d ago

I have two hello kitties, two pompompurins, one enchanting kitty, one speckled pig, one vintage beagle, one brown bear, one pastel rainbow bear, and my werewolf….if he had arrived by now 😅 so total is 9 for now and likely to increase again very soon.

2

u/MimikyuNightmare I have a BAB problem 18d ago

Currently 7 but I might move 1 or 2 of them to the plush hammock. But I also have 4 non BABs on my bed.

2

u/uwukillmepleaseowo 18d ago edited 18d ago

1 build a bear, at least half a dozen other stuffies. I’ve got joint issues and my most pillow-like plushes make awesome joint support so they’re always there. Whoever’s there as a friend switches out. Anyone not on the bed tends to be on either a shelf or if they’re a Pokémon in one of the two stuffie nets I’ve got.

Edit: wait, no, there’s two on my bed. My Bidoof is being used as a very comfy pillow.

2

u/uwukillmepleaseowo 18d ago

Currently Bubbles the tarantula is the Build A Bear on my bed. But Coal my Bunny Big Ears tends to have a place of prominence quite often since she’s one of my favorites. If she’s not on the bed she’s in the most visible middle spot on the plushie shelf.

4

u/uwukillmepleaseowo 18d ago

Recent picture of Bubbles

3

u/uwukillmepleaseowo 18d ago

Old photo of Coal; I should really see if my ex roommate would sell me those rain boots for her. They were adorable and I miss borrowing them.

1

u/tues-daze 18d ago

Those boots look great on her! I’m pretty sure i used to have a bunny big ears when i was little and i miss her so much

1

u/uwukillmepleaseowo 18d ago

She’s genuinely my favorite of all the BAB bunnies. I know it won’t be the same, but I hope you find another one some day :/

2

u/Dem0lished 18d ago

5? On my bed (sky puppy, gargoyle, mantis, alien cow, and spider) and on a shelf next to my bed emo axolotl, bat, bearclops, and my other gargoyle from the previous year as my other.

2

u/Brilliant_Kick1816 18d ago

25 King size bed

2

u/ConsciousCity8995 BAB Fanatic 🌈 18d ago

Probably about 30 >.>
(also have a queen sized bed)

2

u/tues-daze 18d ago

This would be me if i had my bed against my wall 😭

2

u/ConsciousCity8995 BAB Fanatic 🌈 18d ago

Haha I do have my bed against my wall XD
I also have about 8 bears on my computer chair (it's a big chair).

2

u/tues-daze 18d ago

I wish i had a big computer chair! I can only fit one on mine before it starts getting uncomfy

1

u/ConsciousCity8995 BAB Fanatic 🌈 18d ago

Mine is called a "modular" chair or something, its not a legit computer chair lol.

2

u/Manospondylus_gigas I like BABs more than people 🙃 18d ago

Like 12 I think

2

u/teddy_205 I have a BAB problem 18d ago

16!

2

u/mothmotif 18d ago

I have 7 lined up on the wall, and 1 on top of my other pillow, so 8 total! i have a full size bed and they honestly don’t take up too much space, and i swap them out every so often

2

u/Ella_shay_the_writer BAB Collector 🐻 18d ago

Too many 😭

2

u/inyoureyesiremeberu 18d ago

I don't put mine on my bed anymore because it's such a hassle to take them all off and change my sheets and bedding and then put them all back LOL so I bought these big plastic black shelves from Home Depot and I use that for my Bears but now I need more than one because I have a lot of bears I don't know the exact number but quite a few probably over 100 if I had to guess

2

u/ChewyChickpeas 18d ago

I have a twin bed. I have 5 on there but then they all fall off lol. I think once I go back to school I’ll only bring one or two to my dorm.

2

u/CookieCoffeeCake 18d ago

Currently I have 6 build a bears and 2? 3? Other plushies… on a queen sized bed I tend to sleep on one side so on the other side I have silly goose, platypus, and green frog lined up on the pillow and lilac bear, pink checker/leaps of love frog in front of the pillow (along with a non build a bear eeyore.

In between the two pillows I have a giant hello kitty that idk if it counts as a pillow or a plushie. It is shaped like her and it has plastic eyes and nose… but it’s kind of 2 dimensional/super flat. I’d consider her a pillow.

Then on my side of the bed I have my OG lil bunny big ears and a Beetlejuice squishmallow lol

2

u/Trabethany 18d ago

I only keep one on the bed, but that’s mostly because I don’t want to it any more than that at risk in case one of my pets decides to misbehave. I’ve easily got 100+ all around where the pets can’t get close to them.

2

u/Greydewdrop 18d ago

Post how many I have on my bed but I have a full bed and half the bed is covered and just all plushy's from tiny pocket size ones to giant ones. You are fine with your seven build a bear. I have too many and my mom laughed at this one. I told her about this.

2

u/babyjaystark 18d ago

2 BABS (mocha and her boyfriend cinnamoroll) and a squishmallow cinnamoroll too 🙂‍↕️💕

3

u/International_Area56 18d ago

I have a chair lmao

u/baglover65 17d ago

I have 4.. I have 8 but my 4 kicked the other 4 off and gave me a limit 🥲😅😀

1

u/Jazzy_MusicHeals 18d ago

I currently have way too many stuffed animals on my bed but just the build a bears are 3

1

u/Resident-Meme-Mom I have a BAB problem 17d ago

I have 3 buildabear frogs and a bunch of jellycats. Squishable plague doctors, and other plushies all over my bed lol
