RISING through the ranks to be one of the most popular kids’ toys in the UK in recent years, the Squishmallow craze is still going strong with the cute, plush toys now taking over TikTok.
If you think your little one would love one of these cuddly characters, read on to find out where to get your hands on the best Squishmallows in the UK for 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.

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 are more commonly available at toy stores such as 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 pillow case 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.
