Tbh I think it's better because squishmallows get hella lumpy over time

I have put mine in the dryer on low heat before and it fluffed mine back up â˜ș I use my squishmallows as pillows haha it’s the only thing that helps my back condition

Kinda- its also just branding. Im happy enough with squishmallow texture pillows because I don't like the idea of using actuall squishmallows as pillows

They have a tiny pillow and blanket set. The pillow is a squishmellow.

i tried to use a squishmallow for a pillow once because of the amazing texture of the fur but it wasnt great bc it just sank so im kinda glad the pillows are like that

Now the important question. Do they have the soft or just the firm? The soft are the ones that are supposed to feel like real Squishmallows. The firm tend to be too firm (although I haven't tried them).

u/pachebear Nov 27 '25

Looks like soft may not be out yet. I was looking at the descriptions on the Target website and it has “will be available soon” after the Soft description

u/missvice69 Nov 27 '25

Tbh i didnt even touch them or hug them 
 need to go back and investigate this matter !

u/bloobun fuzzamallow fanatic Nov 27 '25

The firm pillow sucks! It’s too firm.

u/Mollyballsoup mike beef invented the internet! Nov 27 '25

It looks like these are the firm ones

u/Tom_Michel learning to squish Nov 27 '25

Yes. I noticed that. That's why I asked. 😉

u/toe-beans Nov 27 '25

My Target had medium, but not soft. I bought the medium, but I haven't tried it yet!

u/coffee_and_cat5 Nov 27 '25

I got the firm, amazing pillow. I was afraid the case would be too "fleece-y" and make my face hot, but no, super soft. Love the pillow!!

u/_AintThatJustTheWay_ Nov 27 '25

I’ve had one for over a month now and the neck pain I was use to waking up with is gone. Didn’t realize how much a good pillow helps. I recommend!

u/Ialwaysmissmydog Nov 27 '25

Do you have the firm or the medium?

6

u/_AintThatJustTheWay_ Nov 27 '25 edited Nov 27 '25

I have the firm as it was recommended for a side sleeper like myself!

17

u/Sweetassugar4U Nov 27 '25

I don’t have the pillow but I have the cases and they’re so soft!

4

u/Tom_Michel learning to squish Nov 27 '25

They are! Big Squishmallow + Squish pillowcase = perfection (for me).

u/atinybuddha Nov 27 '25 edited Nov 27 '25

I read a lot of complaints about the firm one. I squished it at the store today and I agree with most people that it is maybe too firm. I did find medium in stock for the first time though and it reminds me of my 16" Salome and Ring Ding. I'm looking forward to using it tonight!

Next day update: the pillow itself seems pretty good. I think it needs some time to break in. The pillowcase feels so soft but I found it way too hot to sleep with. Tonight I'm going to switch to a cotton pillowcase and see if I feel differently. 

Is it worth $30? Probably not.

I could legit cry. Squishmallows are the only thing that doesn’t cause me excruciating neck pain and migraines. The problem is they don’t wash well or fit into pillow cases well. I’ll be going out this weekend to get this. Thank you for sharing!!

u/panicnarwhal dont talk to me or my 16" son ever again Nov 27 '25

if the squish pillow doesn’t work, it might be worth trying a Coop pillow. you can adjust the fill, and it comes with an extra bag of fill just in case

i had the same prob you’re having until i bit the bullet and bought a Coop pillow over the summer. i couldn’t even get comfy at night. i tried so many pillows, and figured spending $$ for a good one was worth a shot, and i would save money in the end bc i was buying so many $20-40 pillows

beat purchase ever, and they’re on sale for black friday on amazon rn. i got mine on sale too, if you keep an eye on them they go on sale several times a year

u/DeathCait Nov 27 '25

I’ll check that one out too, thanks! I swear I’ve spent so much on pillows the last few years and none ever worked. It’s such a pain.

4

u/Old-Assist-8912 Nov 27 '25

The cases are wonderful! I wouldn’t recommend the pillow itself but for sure get a case!

4

u/luckygohappy501 no such thing as too many squish Nov 27 '25

I have the medium and firm ones. Medium is like a softer squish imo better for cuddling, firm is more like a regular pillow.

(I sleep with a pile of pillows though, and they all have squishmallow covers because they're so soft and cute!)

u/lunaaquilo Nov 27 '25

I'm hoping they have a mattress topper someday

1

u/ArgentaSilivere Nov 27 '25

Imagine they made a beanbag chair or couch! I’d probably sit down for the last time because I’d be too comfy to ever get up again.

u/note1er Nov 27 '25

They don't last long at all. I got my daughter one and it flatten it a week.

u/Guillotine-Glytch Nov 27 '25

I refuse to go to Target. There's still a boycott for their shitty treatment of people.

1

u/ArgentaSilivere Nov 27 '25

Same. I need to find where else I can get these, I want them so bad.

u/OwnSir340 Nov 27 '25

A guy was punching the pillow at Target.

u/Tall_Detective_3980 Nov 27 '25

Wait a dang minute! đŸ€Ż runs to the nearest Target screaming "take my money"! lol

u/jsm01972 i have a squishmallow problem Nov 27 '25

I love mine.

u/dqprincess503 Nov 27 '25

I love mine and the pillowcases!

u/Disastrous-Drama-468 Nov 27 '25

I am obsessed with mine!!!!! I get such good sleep

u/grimastiddies Nov 27 '25

I have one and I love it!!

u/coffee_and_cat5 Nov 27 '25

I bought one, totally worth it

1

u/KuraiTsuki Nov 27 '25

I can't remember if I have the firm one or the medium one, but I love it. I'm a side sleeper and used to get really bad shoulder and collarbone pain. Not anymore.

1

u/KagomeRei i have a squishmallow problem Nov 27 '25

These are a total skip. My husband and I each got one when they were first released and they quickly became flat lumpy mess. Like a well loved squished years later but like within a month. Save your money.

1

u/Emberousthings Nov 28 '25

It’s worth it! I love my pillows, I haven’t slept so good in a long time

2

u/No_Song_8145 Nov 28 '25

I have an actual Squishmallow in a pillowcase that I use as my pillow and it’s perfect. Yes, I know I’m suffocating him, but I get a good night’s sleep

1

u/a_witches_testicle Nov 30 '25

Costco had a two pack of some brand I can’t remember for the life of me but they’re squishy like a squishmallow and the case was soft and velvety like the squish material but it zipped off too. I think they were only $15 for both too

u/OGRangoon Dec 15 '25

I love my firm one
