A cushion can be something truly special — more than just a home accessory. It can be a source of comfort, calm, and reassurance after a long, stressful day. Recently, I’ve discovered a new love for cuddle cushions, and it’s safe to say I’m not alone. My whole family has become obsessed with them, especially the kids.
They’ve quickly become a staple in our home. After a busy day at work, there’s nothing better than coming back and unwinding with something soft and comforting. Whether paired with a cosy throw on the sofa or used in bed to prop you up while you relax, cuddle cushions create the ultimate chilling experience and make switching off feel completely effortless.
I don’t know about you, but I can still remember growing up with a favourite teddy or soft toy — the one I couldn’t sleep without and took everywhere. It wasn’t just a toy or cushion; it was a source of comfort and reassurance. Because of that, I truly understand how important it is to find something your little one can love, enjoy, and cherish — helping to create those long-lasting childhood memories we all hold onto.
That’s why choosing the perfect cuddle companion really matters. From fluffy and boucle textures to playful shapes like croissants and milkshakes, there’s so much to choose from. The fun, food-inspired designs are an obvious hit in our house. OHS Dolly the Doughnut has been especially popular with my youngest — she adores the playful design and colourful sprinkles. It helps her wind down before bed, setting the tone for story time and creating a calm, relaxed bedtime routine — and her love of doughnuts definitely adds to its appeal.
Another firm favourite is OHS Walter the Watermelon. With its teddy fleece outer, it offers the perfect comforting texture, making it a quirky companion for nap time and a great choice for gifting or birthdays. Honestly, it feels like the only time my little one stays still is when she’s cuddled up with her cuddle companion — which makes my life that little bit easier.
As for me, I tend to gravitate towards simpler designs — something that feels as good as it looks. The OHS Ribbed Faux Fur Cuddle Cushion with a heatable pocket is my go-to, especially during the colder winter months. The added warmth creates an extra layer of comfort, making it almost impossible not to fully relax.
I always thought I was too old for a cuddle cushion, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. They really are for everyone. Whether playful or minimal, each design brings its own sense of comfort and character — making it easy to choose the perfect cuddle companion for your little one or maybe just adding a cosy finishing touch to your home.
