The Best Filling for Stuffed Animals (Kid-Safe and Bug-Free) – Warmies™ World Blog – Warmies USA

Stuffed animal fillings are a hot topic these days. Parents are concerned about toxic chemicals and whether or not certain fillings attract bugs. What exactly are Warmies filled with and do parents have to be concerned with Warmies being around their children?

What are Warmies stuffed animals filled with?

Stuffed animal toys have been around for centuries and their fillings have been made from all sorts of things over that length of time. From things like hay, beans, straw, and cotton, stuffed animals have seen it all. Modern day filling for stuffed animals are typically made from cotton or synthetic fibers that make stuffed animals soft yet durable, and ideal for all ages. Some filling technology has even evolved to withstand the microwave, adding an extra level of warming comfort. Although some fillings have been known to attract bugs or be unsafe for children, Warmies Microwavable Stuffed Animal Filling does not attract or contain bugs. Warmies only uses kid-safe and bug-free stuffing made by manufacturers you can trust.

This article will go into depth about the materials that Warmies filling is made of, how it's different from other stuffed animal filling on the market, and how this filling does not attract bugs. Warmies takes the extra step to ensure that kids that play with Warmies stuffed animals are safe and comforted by the materials used. Warmies products also are for adults too, so this information will be usefull to all that are interested in having Warmies in their home.

What is the Filling inside of a Microwavable Stuffed Animal made from?

Each Warmies product contains a carefully measured amount of specially treated flaxseed that has been thoroughly cleaned and dried to a specific moisture content. This moisture content might make the Warmies product feel damp the first time it is microwaved, but that is normal. Every Warmies filling also features an added hint of dried French Lavender flowers, from Provence, France, to give a relaxing aroma. However, not all microwavable stuffed animals feature the same class of materials.

In fact, other microwavable stuffed animals may use the following types of filling:

Clay beads
Plastic beads
Cotton
Wheat filling
Polyfill stuffing

The natural and specially treated grain filling found in Warmies inspires better wellbeing and is less likely to attract bugs and mold, unlike some of the other materials listed above.

What makes the stuffing in a microwavable plush different from a stuffed animal?

The average stuffed animal and microwavable stuffed animal toys are not built the same. Most stuffed animals on the market are filled with material that is generally unsuitable for microwaves. This filling can be synthetic fiber, batting, cotton, straw, wool, plastic pellets, and beans. Having this stuffing within stuffed animals does not mean you cannot microwave it, but generally this material might not not hold onto the heat as well or at all.

The reason why Warmies are able to retain heat is because of their filling. The specially treated natural filling of flaxseed is capable of withstanding heat and will retain it for a good portion of time. Warmies can also be placed in the freezer to be a cooling element rather than a warming one.

What are weighted stuffed animals filled with?

Most weighted stuffed animals are filled with poly-pellets, plastic pellets that give an item weight. Warmies does not use this material in their weighted stuffed animals. Plastic, when heated, can leak toxins into its surroundings or even melt. Instead, what you'll find is dried flaxseed and layers of fabric to add weight. The added weight helps ease anxiety and provides comfort.

What are Warmies fillings treated with?

Each of Warmies products are filled with carefully measured, specially treated flaxseed. This filling has been treated with natural ingredients, promoting a positive wellbeing for all. The filling has been sufficiently cleaned and dried so that it is at an appropriate level of moisture. The filling also features natural dried French lavender, to aid in relaxation. The treatment exists to better preserve and maintain the integrity of the Warmies product, as well in aiding in the microwavable feature.

What Scent is in Warmies?

Warmies takes pride in using natural filling to promote a healthier wellbeing and lifestyle, and with each Warmies stuffed animal comes the addition of real dried French lavender. When coupled with the warmth, lavender is especially soothing. There is also little worry about safety, as the dried lavender is perfectly safe and natural. While it's safe for humans, exercise caution if there are pets in the household, as lavender can be particularly toxic to dogs when ingested.

Does Warmies stuffing use grain?

Each stuffed animal from Warmies is comprised of microwave-friendly materials in addition to the specially formulated millet grains and dried French lavender. You won't find any instances of plastic or other such material within the Warmies. The grains within allow for heat to be retained, making for a soothing and much-needed aromatherapy for relaxing. While other companies use fillings such as clay beads or synthetic beans, Warmies takes the more natural approach.

Do Warmies stuffed animals attract bugs?

No, there are absolutely no bugs found in any Warmies stuffed animals. Warmies are filled with a combination of specially treated flaxseed and dried lavender. Flaxseed is not known to be particularly attractive to bugs, but the lavender will ward off any bugs as they hate it. Warmies will not attract any bugs.

This is a popular question due to the rise in popularity of natural stuffing for microwavable stuffed animal toys. Fillings like wheat is popular, but wheat tends to attract bugs more than other natural filling. This is not an issue for Warmies.

Are Warmies safe for babies?

Warmies are tested safe for all ages. Warmies features products designed for babies, toddlers, children, and even adults. Everybody of all ages can experience the soothing relaxation that Warmies can bring. In fact, Warmies features a product line that is especially made for babies and newborns, called My First Warmies. It is always important to maintain suitable supervision whilst using the products with babies, toddlers and children.

Sweetie with tusks !

Walrus has tusks, but I think of him as a baby, he is smaller than some warmies. He has a really cute face though and I like him.

Super cute

The otter junior Warmie is super soft and much cuter than it's picture (maybe just not photogenic 😂). The person we bought it for absolutely loves it. We're even contemplating buying it a twin! We love that we can use them warm or cold. This was our 6th purchase from Warmies. Only drawback is we wish we could "recharge" the scent. Wonderful product! Highly recommended!
