Where else are they supposed to sleep if not in my bed?

Yes! I have blue bunny that was gift from grandmother and knitted Ukraine flag blanket from her as well, where I are going, they go.

My 24 yr old daughter has these huge teddy bears to cuddle when she’s having a bad day, I have a red panda and a husky to hug when I feel like crap and I’m 47. No shame whatsoever :)

You are sweet and definitely a keeper :)

Me too bro…. My one eyed little stuffed doggie still with me since I’m three. 41 years now…

I have 8 king pillows, does that count 🤔

I have a Blankie

I am 39. I sleep next to a small elephant 🐘❤️😁. No shame!

THIS.

I prefer my real animals

So comforting to have something to hold! 😊❤🤗😴

Im 32 and male and I have a bed full. Not ONE partner has cared, or said anything, lol

I've slept with either Cookie Monster or Bugs Bunny for 50 years. Have to have them!

I have a teddy bear my grandma gave me when I was very young. I'm 35 and still have it

I just turned 36 (a week ago) and I've slept with my stuffed puppy since I got her as a little one. She will never not have a place on my bed. I always keep three things: my stuffed puppy, a tiny pillow that was made for me by someone I lost with a Disney babies fabric (I had matching jammies made too), and a blankie.

Hubby and I are 52. We have 2 Piglets (Winnie the Pooh — proper ones, not Disney-fied), one each. I'll never give them up!

I'm 49 and I sleep with my stuffed Rottweiler, I named Jewels. My x hated. My hubby doesn't care. I don't understand why people make a big deal out of it. There is a lot worse things people could be doing

My 14 loves penguins. He Has a huge stuffed one that resides in his bed😊

For me, it's more of a comfort thing. I have hyper mobile joints and having something to cuddly keeps my shoulder in a better condition so I'm not in pain the next day. Currently I have a pillow for the purpose. My hubby used to laugh at me, and then he constantly stole my cuddle pillow until I bought him his own, and now he sleeps best with it too😅

The only difference between him and me is that my fur babies are real.

i have one bear on my bed. ive had that bear since i was born. ill probably drag him into the ground with me

I have a stuffed giraffe with the most adorable face and seeing that first thing in the morning makes me smile, which is not a bad way to start a day.

Ya know - you can have a body pillow, so why not a stuffed animal? The only difference is one presumably has a little face sewn on.

I've six alive cats, and almost all night they sleep on my bed, a lot better than a stuffie!

If you are over 16 and sleep with stuffed toy, something is wrong

My husband died 2 years ago. I sleep with his pillow next to me, on my bed. It brings me comfort, and a feeling of his presence for me. Whatever brings you comfort should not be shamed. that's why children like their stuffed toys. You keep hugging your stuffies.

Lol, I sleep with a 90 pound Lab. who hogs the bed!

I love my Teddy.

AT almost 73, I sleep with a hug pillow (My stuffed tiger died)

^THIS! I'm 52 next birthday, I'm single, live on my own since my folks passed away, I sleep with several cuddly monkeys and bears. Bed-Time-6...7db15b.jpg

I'm nineteen... I've had a 'bitty baby' doll since I was two years old and anytime I'm feeling sad or stressed, I sleep with her. Makes me feel better. As in a LOT better. Funny how that works...

I used to be attached and even dependent on my security blanket I had as a kid. But growing up, my family used to give me crap about sleeping with my blanket because I was "too big" and "wasn't acting my age," etc. I ended up grew up feeling shame because, even during my teenage years, I slept with a security blanket. Even when I had friends over, I used to hide my security blanket out of shame and embarrassment. I didn't even tell people that I slept with a security blanket because of feelings of shame. I eventually broke the attachment and now don't sleep with a blanket anymore because, even many years later, I still feel shame.

None of these opinions are unpopular. Not one.

You know there are such things as Real Dolls ! LOL

I can't sleep without some sort of weight around me, like an arm or smth. Bf isn't there = IMG_202202...f9af24.jpg

I can't sleep without my stuffed squid peaches and im 24

I traded my stuffies for a real cat to snuggle with, but whatever works for you is totally fine. I just like my little purr machine. 🐈‍⬛

I have a kanga and Roo. My little one is known as Roo, so I always feel close when he's not here. Mama and Roo together

I have a large white owl and a large tan teddy bear that on nights i didn't feel good or days where im worn out...I've napped with.......it does feel better to have something near that's doesn't judge on anything.

I'm a 36 year old Army vet and go nowhere without my stuffed bears, Max and Roger.

I sleep with one, and it has to be a very specific size, I use it to stop my shoulder slumping over when sleeping on my side, otherwise I often wake up with a sore shoulder. I've never found a pillow that is the right shape or size, but some stuffed toys are perfect.

Yes! Love a man who owns up to cuddlies! Good for him!

Was just arranging the polar bear, baby seal, Christmas elf, lamb, and mouse in a tutu on my bed when I started reading this.

Agreed.they make it better🐸

Get a dog instead....they hug you back!!!!

Still sleep with my 28" panda that I received as a 4 year old. I'm 51. He's been re-stuffed twice and for the last six months I've been using a substitute stuffed panda 6 nights a week and only sleep with the Real Panda one night because he's falling apart. I can't bear to lose him. He's been with me through all my hospital visits- too many to count. I have a wonderful husband who cuddles me while I cuddle the panda. If something so simple provides comfort to someone, who should judge it??
