How do heated plush toys generate warmth?
At first glance, heated plush toys and regular plush toys look the same, as both are made of soft fabrics. However, the filling inside is quite different. In addition to the usual cotton stuffing, heated plush toys contain either flaxseed or lavender filling. These materials allow the toy to be heated in a microwave, providing comforting warmth.
So, what’s the difference between flaxseed and lavender filling?
1.Flaxseed Filling
A new eco-friendly, natural plant-based material that decomposes naturally after disposal, making it more environmentally friendly than traditional cotton or PE pellet fillings.Naturally antibacterial due to flax fibers, making it safer for children.Its slightly textured, flexible granules provide a unique tactile sensation, offering a calming effect.Can be microwaved (as a heating pad) or chilled (as an ice pack), helping relieve muscle soreness or menstrual discomfort.
2.Lavender Filling
Not only provides warmth but also emits a soothing natural fragrance.Studies show that lavender scent can lower heart rate, ease anxiety, and promote relaxation, making it ideal as a sleep aid for both children and adults.The aroma also gently repels moths and dust mites, reducing the risk of pest damage during long-term storage.Note: Lavender is prone to mold when wet, so it’s best to clean the toy’s surface with a damp cloth or remove the filling before washing the outer fabric.
Heated plush toys offer not only the emotional comfort of a regular plush toy but also therapeutic benefits.
How to Choose Between These Two Fillings?
If you want purely functional warmth (e.g., for heat therapy), choose the flaxseed version.
If you prefer aromatherapy and sleep aid, opt for the lavender version
