What are the fillings of plush toys

Plush toy dolls are soft to the touch and not afraid to squeeze. In addition to the soft and comfortable material on the surface, they are also inseparable from the internal padding. A good filling can bring a comfortable and healthy experience. What are the types of fillings, we now introduce the following:

  • PP cotton
  • Washed cotton
  • Down cotton
  • Plastic pellets
  • Foam particles

PP cotton

Commonly known as doll cotton, stuffed cotton, also called stuffed cotton, the material is recycled polyester staple fiber, which is an ordinary man-made chemical fiber, mainly including ordinary fiber and hollow fiber. This product has good resilience and strong bulkiness. It has a smooth feel, low price, and good warmth retention. PP cotton is the most commonly used stuffing for plush dolls, so many plush toy factories will use this as the stuffing for plush toy dolls.

Washed cotton

Washed cotton is made of cotton cloth. After special treatment, the surface tone and luster of the fabric are softer, the hand feel is softer, and the feeling of the old material is reflected in the slight wrinkle. This kind of clothing has the advantages of being not easy to change, no fading, and no ironing. The surface of the better-washed cotton cloth also has a layer of uniform plush, which has a unique style.

Down cotton

It is produced by a special process with different specifications of superfine fibers. Because the quality is like down, it is called down cotton, and most of them are called silk cotton or hollow cotton. The product is thin, delicate, soft, and uniform, good in heat preservation, and difficult to maintain. It is deformed, does not penetrate the silk, and does not have any strange things or hard objects.

Plastic pellets

The main function of this small particle-filled plush toy is to keep the plush doll in a standing or sitting position. Because the stuffing of this kind of stuffed toy is heavier than cotton wool, stuffing on the buttocks or feet will lower the center of gravity of the toy and make the stuffed toy more stable on a flat surface.

Foam particles

Foam particles, also known as snow peas, are high-molecular polymers. They are a new type of environmentally friendly foam material with high-strength cushioning and shock resistance. It is flexible, light and elastic, and can absorb and disperse external impact through bending. It achieves the cushioning effect and overcomes the shortcomings of ordinary styrofoam that are fragile, deformed and poor in recovery. It is more comfortable as a plush pillow cushion.
