Vermont Teddy BearSuper Soft Almond Brown Teddy Bear – 18 Inch Plush Stuffed Animal to Sleep with, Cozy Bear Plush, Crafted in The USA

Perfect size, softness, quality, and cuteness!I’m 54, and I recall when there used to be several high quality companies who made stunning stuffed animals. Not so much anymore, like many products these days. Anyway, I searched and searched for the perfect bear, and WOW there are a lot of ugly, poor quality stuffed animals out there. Cheap, and from the same country we import most of our short-lived, disposable goods from. SMHI’ve never had a teddy bear. Lots of bunnies, elephants, and dolls, growing up. A giraffe, a koala, a monkey, a turtle, and even a pudgy owl, before they became easier to find. No bear though.My new teddy bear is sweet and a nice compliment to my bedroom. Just the right size sleep with like another pillow, only fuzzier. ☺️I’m a long-time minimalist and live in a 400 sq ft adorable apartment. I don’t bring “stuff” into my home unless it’s something I will consume, like necessary personal items, or food. That’s my general rule so I don’t end up with unnecessary clutter and can’t find things.SO, for this bear to make the cut, it had to be special. Great addition!!

This is my rating of the Vermont Teddy Bear Super Soft Almond Brown Teddy Bear – 18 Inch. I have never owned a teddy bear. I’ve known people who grew up with them and I’ve given them as gifts. I decided I wanted one for myself. I gathered data for four bears. My criteria was size (between 15”-18”), color, pleasant face, cuddly, and the fur had to feel a bit like the short shaggy fur of a dog. I read tons of reviews and looked at a bunch of owner pictures to finally arrive at the Vermont Teddy Bear in soft almond brown. The color is right for me and are true to the images here. Theo (yes, that’s his name) is well constructed and great care was taken in creating his facial features. Everything about Theo is soft and cuddly. I highly recommend (so does Theo)

A very simple Teddy - soft and cuddly and well made. No frills - just Teddybear Love ... Perfect for a child or an adult in need of a hug.

The best Christmas gift I found this year. I really wanted something for a special 10 year old her to unwrap and when she asked for a teddy bear I was so happy she hadn’t said money! It was getting close to Christmas and I couldn’t find the right kind in brick and mortar stores but Amazon saved the day! It came a day after we had celebrated in person but she was really happy with it and it was a sweet, traditional soft style. I was told it went everywhere with her for several days.

This bear is absolutely adorable and so comforting. I received this as an emotional comfort because I cannot have a dog at this time. Wow.! So amazing. It really gives comfort when held and slept with. Highly recommend to adults as well as children.

This bear is SO soft.

I wanted a mascot for my redecorated personal space, and this bear is perfect in looks & size for what I wanted. I was a bit shocked to find it squished in my mailbox in a half torn cellophane bag, but the bear wasn't damaged. It did have an odd smell, so I sprayed Febreze all over and tossed it in the dryer on extra low about 20mins. Came out perfectly fresh & fluffy. Another surprise was the partial filling of small plastic pellets and a tail that had no filling at all. That's the main reason it lost a rating star. I'll need to keep it high up to prevent my dog from getting to it and tearing it open. Also not machine washable.

Super cute bear. He’s really huggable and super soft. He has the look and stance of a vintage bear. Love the color, cute eyes, and velvet nose. Highly recommend.
