The Story Behind the Squish
Launched in 2017, Squishmallows were designed to offer something tactile and emotionally engaging. With their signature squish, rounded shape, and soothing polyester fibre fill, these toys offer both physical comfort and imaginative play.
Each character is given a distinct name and backstory. Fans build connections with their plush companions, forming what’s affectionately known as a “Squishmallows squad.” For an extensive history and full character list, see the Squishmallows Wikipedia page.
Most Popular and Rare Squishmallows
Over time, some characters have become cult favourites. Cat lovers adore the Squishmallows cat collection, while others chase down the cow, frog, axolotl or unicorn characters. Rare finds, including themed items like Squishmallows Stitch, Harry Potter Squishmallows, and Disney Squishmallows, fuel a thriving collector community.
Seasonal editions like the 2024 Christmas Squishmallows and limited-run sets such as Squishmallows Monopoly often sell out quickly, adding to their appeal among collectors.
Care and Maintenance
One of the joys of owning Squishmallows is how easy they are to care for. Despite their luxurious, marshmallow-like texture, these toys are remarkably durable.
- Most are machine washable on a cold, gentle cycle
- Made from ultra-soft polyester fibres
- Air dry only – avoid heat to preserve shape
Use a laundry bag for best results, especially for rare or limited-edition plushes.
