Read on to find out where you can get your hands on one of these cuddly toys in 2022.
What is a Squishmallow?
Squishmallows are squashy plush kids’ toys that come in a range of sizes, and there are over 800 different characters to choose from.
Many characters are extremely rare and sort-after by Squishy super-fans, with only a limited number produced.
They’re deemed to be safe for children of all ages, made from non-toxic polyester and with no small parts or choking hazards.
They’re also a great stress-reliever for kids, providing a little friend for kids to cuddle up with watching TV on the sofa or with a story at bedtime.
But which Squishmallows should you choose? Here’s a roundup of our favourites and where to buy them.

Where can I buy Squishmallows in the UK?
Squishmallows are available at a number of UK toy shops, department stores and even supermarkets.

But the big 20in Squishmallows can cost as much as £44.99 such as Cherish the Elephant.
What is the most popular Squishmallow?
With over 800 Squishmallows, the popularity of different characters is always changing.
But Disney characters and Hello Kitty Squishmallows are always popular – along with squads such as the fantasy squad and fruit squad.
Star Wars character Squishmallows are also really popular.
What is the biggest Squishmallow?
Squishmallows come in a variety of sizes and the biggest is the jumbo, which is 24 inches (60cm) – but it’s pretty hard to get hold of this size in the UK.
The next size down is 20 inches (50cm), which is more commonly available at toy stores such as Amazon, Smyths Toys and The Entertainer.
Can you wash Squishmallows?
The manufacturer doesn’t recommend machine-washing Squishmallows as it can affect the texture and ‘squishiness’ but instead suggests spot cleaning.
However, many Squishmallow customers claim that you can wash Squishmallows on a cold wash in the machine without damaging it – ideally in a pillowcase to protect the toy.
It’s important however not to put a Squishmallow in the tumble dryer as it may burn it – let it air dry instead.
