Popular on Reddit, Discord, Twitter, and more, this brand knows how to market their content for the masses.
We’ll be giving out all the details in this Squishable review. From products to ratings to manufacturing details, we’re here to offer all the info on whether or not this brand is a buy.
Overview of Squishable
The comfort of Squishables made its debut in 2007 by co-founders Aaron Glazer and Zoe Fraade-Blanar. Founded in Soho, New York, this brand has since brought smiles and joy to buyers all over the world.
This New York business is all about bringing fun to buyers, offering 7” and 15” fuzzy friends. Perfect hugging sizes, these balls of characters are perfect companions for all ages.
Rather than sticking with simple and classic designs, this brand is all about the fresh and new. With comfort food collections alongside a cascade of fascinating creatures, this brand is always bringing new faces to their stock.
The best part of it all? They interact with the community by having artists around the world enter new designs for their lineup. Those with accounts can rate each new face to vote for their favorite that they’d love to see join the crowd.
This brand not only supports international artists and creators but also works alongside several charities yearlong. Every month, a charity is chosen for a donation. Every photo users send in equals one donation to the monthly pick.
Children’s charities are the big names around the holidays when thousands of fun Squishable faces are donated to children, with auctioned prototypes used to earn more for the children being supported.
Cute and cuddly, what more could you ask for? We’ll let our Squishable review highlights list fill in some other fun facts about this brand:

There’s quite a list of pros stacked up against the cons, so it seems like a good time to move this Squishable review into the products that have made this business so popular.
These pieces are currently available and quite popular with the people, so chances are they’ll be around for a while. With that being said, some Squishables get retired from the market, so don’t hold back from buying if you spot a favorite.
Squishable Plague Doctor Review
One of the newest in the line, we’re highlighting a true bundle of joy – the Squishable Plague Doctor, a Halloween favorite!
We get it, the name doesn’t quite sound convincing. Take a look at a picture. We’ll wait. This incredibly cute Plague Doctor (odd phrasing, we know) started in the Mini Collection and has become so popular it’s grown to Standard size. Now sitting at 15” high, this guy is prime cuddle size.
Dark, mysterious, and popular enough to garner his own Instagram page, this fun figure comes with a glowing lantern to guide his way through the foggy past of the pandemic. For those who love black comedy or dark figures made adorable, this one is an easy choice.
Bring the Plague Doctor home for $48.
Squishable Squishables Review
It’s hard to know where to start looking when it comes to Squishables, so we’ve selected some of the top best-sellers (out of the endless list of trending buddies) to showcase here.
Most options come in Mini and Standard sizes, but right now we’re going big with the full standard 15” options. For those wanting to downsize, check out their Minis for some similar fun options.
Squishable Avocado Review
Aside from the Plague Doctor, the Squishable Avocado is the hottest item on the market. Honestly, who can blame the masses for falling for such a cute face?
Super soft, this highlighted figure is a favorite for two reasons – the link to guacamole (who doesn’t love it?) and the incredibly adorable face stitched into the pit.
We’re all suckers for a cute smile with some dimples. Whether for a pet, a child, or just yourself (no judgment here), this squishy friend is perfect in every way.
Add a polyester fiber pal to the cart for $45.
Squishable Ladybug II Review
Bugs aren’t typically creatures that we adore, but there’s something about the Squishable Ladybug II that we all have to love.
Bright and patterned with that classic ladybug look, this one is a great choice for children. The stimulating contrast of the vibrant red and black makes this little guy wonderful for young kids. As for adults, we’ll just say that the shell shape is prime for nap time.
Whether as a pillow, a present, a friend, or for a foe (this one will win any pillow fight with ease), this creature easily slides into everyone’s life.
Add a creative twist to comfort and get cozy with this little guy for $45.
Squishable Plague Nurse Review
The world of medical dramas has made us all more than aware that without a nurse, a doctor is nothing. Well, not nothing, but the two tend to come as a set. So, for those in love with the Plague Doctor, it’s time to take a look at the Squishable Plague Nurse.
Also new to the full-size world, this fun figure carries a partnering lantern to help the doctor find their way through the darkest periods of history. Equipped with a mask, light source (that works), and a little cape to keep warm when declaring the dead, this nurse is ready to work any shift as required.
Cuddle them close when you’re feeling ill (though not too close – they did work the plague after all), or rest back and use its soft sphere-like body as a pillow.
Pre-order this new size for $48.
Squishable Kabob Review
Feed your soul with a taste of comfort food. The ever-classic Squishable Kabob is sure to spice up any life it enters.
This one really steps up in originality with its incredible form. Not only can individuals cuddle a full kabob (who wouldn’t want to?), but each item stacked on the stick comes off. That’s essentially five separate entities in one purchase (we are indeed counting the stick). Keep them all together or separate them for widespread use – maybe a pillow or two is needed to rest.
Cute, cuddly, and colorful, this product sits at 24” tall when the whole kabob is stacked up.
Add this cute kabob to the collection for $45.
Squishable Venus Fly Trap Review
Feed me, Seymore. Or just love me. Or just love the Squishable Venus Fly Trap (not that it’s hard to do).
Little Shop of Horrors would’ve never lasted if their villain had looked this adorable. Rather than falling victim to its portrayal in the media as a carnivorous plant that kills, this fun figure is the perfect picture of a plant that simply wants some love and attention. Also, it eats flies, and who doesn’t appreciate a bug-free space?
So, clearly, this plushie doesn’t actually eat flies, but that doesn’t matter once it’s in your possession. It’s cute, fun, and entirely unique. We can (almost) guarantee this one won’t be in the other houses on the block.
Add this potted plant to any space for $49.
Who Is Squishable For?
Anyone who wants to be comforted and cozy will be satisfied with one of these little friends. And by little, we mean, not so little. These 7” to 15” buddies are the best hugging size for those ages 3 and up. There’s no age limit on wanting a stuffed friend around.
The one recommendation by the company (and backed by our Squishable review) is to stick to the Mini sizes for children under age 3. It’s not always wise to have a stuffed buddy bigger than the baby it’s for. Other than that, kids, adults, older adults, elderly adults, everyone can benefit from having a buddy to hug close.
Squishable Reviews: What Do Customers Think?
As cute as they are in pictures, we needed some personal opinions to take into account for our Squishable review. As a result, we turned to the highest ratings found online for these fun and furry friends.
Typically, the best place to start is the website itself, but we’ll be the first to admit this isn’t where the bulk of ratings is found. While it’s easy to spot 10 to 20 ratings per character here, those numbers are drowned out by the hundreds of ratings found on Amazon.
The majority of these characters average ratings in the hundreds, but two figures stand out above the rest. The Mini Squishable Plague Doctor, with 4.9/5 stars based on over 1,090 ratings, and the Mini Squishable Avocado, with 4.8/5 stars based on over 3,155 ratings.
Clearly, these two are adorably kicking butt and taking names when it comes to popularity with the people.
So, what makes these figures so well-loved? Customers seem to adore the characters, style, and build of these selections.
Regarding the Plague Doctor, one Squishable review stated, “Very cute and fluffy! Got it for my boyfriend who’s studying to be a nurse. I’m also studying to be a nurse, so I ordered the nurse plushie as well. I’ll give this plushie to him on his birthday. In the meanwhile, I just wanted to cuddle with it Haha. Definitely worth the buy and GREAT quality.”
These characters are relatable and loveable, playing into everyday hobbies and fascinations and looking cute while doing so. Turning standard and typically horrifying images into small and huggable figures, this brand thrives on turning traditional on its head.
“First off shipping was great, came on time, arrived in a box and a bag(?) thing. Perfect condition and exactly as described. The price was reasonable and definitely worth the money. He is super soft and very adorable; this would honestly be a great gift. Also, the little lantern glows in the dark and I had doubts at first, but I was surprised when I tested it. I’ll most likely buy the nurse if it’s in stock.”
Original in their supply and completely functional in design, these little buddies follow through on their promises. That means they’re soft, fun, and aspects such as the glowing lantern on the Plague Doctor follow through with each purchase.
These products aren’t alone in their high ratings:
- Mini Squishable Plague Nurse: 4.9/5 stars based on 255 ratings
- Squishable Undercover Kitty in Dragon: 4.9/5 stars based on over 115 ratings
- Squishable Undercover Corgi in Stuffed Avocado: 4.8/5 stars based on 220 ratings
- Squishable Smore: 4.8/5 stars based on over 200 ratings
- Mini Squishable Taco: 4.8/5 stars based on over 310 ratings
Still not sold? The Better Business Bureau has listed this brand at an incredible grade of A+ due to the lack of complaints and quick customer service response. Many reviews have stated just how impressed they were with the fast contact made by customer service during any issues with shipping or products.
While TrustPilot doesn’t have much to offer in terms of ratings, Review Meta sits this company at 4.7/5 stars based on over 470 ratings. Pulling from other online sources to get their final numbers, this platform readjusts other ratings in terms of the percentage of false reviews made to build up the business. Despite the adjustment, the company still ends up quite highly rated.
Reviews are available for the products and brand, with customers commenting on their purchases and how pleased they were with the final outcome. One Squishable review posted, “I got this stuffy as a present and it was great. The stuffie was very soft and fluffy. It was just what I thought it was going to feel and look like. This product is very giftable and it would make a kid very happy to get it as a gift.”
Popular on social media, including Reddit, this brand proudly works with their followers to create a community response.
Several Reddit threads praise these products, and one individual went on to say, “I have made several purchases from their site and have gotten them all no problem. They even have amazing customer support too if you do end up having any issues or anything.”
Cozy, soft, and sweet with their original designs, this brand seems to have hit all the points required for playful plushies that suit every age.
Is Squishable Worth It?
Whether a young babe or an elderly soul, this Squishable review happily recommends this product to all. We’ll admit, the scale of some of these pals is a commitment, so make sure to check out sizing before buying.
Other than that little caveat, from all we’ve seen in stores and online, these products are a great gift to others (or yourself). With very few cons to put in place, it’s quite easy to say the good outweighs the (very minimal) bad. Take a chance and find a new friend for the holiday season.

FAQ
How to wash a Squishable?
This company actually recommends avoiding machine washing due to the high heat and lengthy drying times. If it’s desperately required, tie the Squishable up in a cotton pillowcase before washing on cold and machine drying (in pillowcase) on the lowest setting.
If it’s just a bit of dirt, use body wipes, a bit of body powder, and a simple brush to get rid of that grime.
Fun tip – the brush attachment on the vacuum cleaner will not only brush it out but also re-fluff these buddies to give them some life back.
Where is Squishable made?
All Squishable Squishables are made in Asia. Currently, manufacturing takes place in China, Vietnam, and Thailand.
What is Squishable’s Shipping Policy?
Oh, do we have shipping info for you! For those interested in a product, (does the Squishable Plague Doctor call out to anyone else, or was that just us?) shipping is a fairly easy process.
Shipping in the US comes with four service options:
- Standard shipping: 5-9 business days
- Third Business Day: 3 business days
- Second Business Day: 2 business days
- Next Business Day: 1 business day
Notice we didn’t include pricing? That’s because everything other than Standard shipping prices the service depends on location and order size. Options for costs will be listed at checkout, so take a glance over that before deciding which option to choose.
Standard shipping has a rate of $6 for US shipping with an increased fee of $3 per additional Squishable. Seems reasonable enough due to size.
The good part of this increasing fee? Once an order reaches $49, shipping is free. Unfortunately, this is only in play for the continental states, meaning Alaska and Hawaii are still paying those additional fees.
Shipping to Canada? This business sends them out via UPS or FedEx Ground at the cost of $28 for one, an additional $9 for each added character. Other international shipping costs typically go for $45 for one, $10 per additional.
Once the fuzzy friends have been shipped out, a tracking number and link will be sent to the attached account. Keep an eye on the tracking to know when to expect that new favorite creature.
What is Squishable’s Return Policy?
The goal of this brand is to keep customers happy and cozy with new friends to hug, but if that doesn’t suit you after a purchase, then returns are definitely possible.
All Squishables can be returned within 30 days of purchase. To make a return, contact the company via email about the intent to return and they’ll help organize the process in a simple and straightforward way.
No need to worry about complex portals and numbers, just shoot a simple message over with the order number and name to get things going.
The one caveat about returns? All Squishables must be in their original condition. This means:
- No bites
- No chew marks
- No spills
- No scratches
Or any maiming or marks left by whatever resides in the home (we don’t judge). For a full refund, keep it looking nice and fresh for that money back.
The brand (and this Squishable review) recommends shipping back with an insured package. No returned product means no refund and customers already lose out on having to pay shipping costs themselves.
