Understanding Squishmallow Sizes: A Comprehensive Guide

The Squishmallow space seems to get only bigger by the day. The brand has introduced over 1000 Squishmallow characters so far, launched several sub-brands like Squishville and Squish-Doos, and has widened its size chart from four original sizes to twelve.

Today, we’ll be unlocking the world of Squishmallow sizes like never before. This comprehensive guide is your ticket to understanding the different sizes of Squishmallows, irrespective of their color, character, or brand line.

Let’s get into it!

Squishmallow: Overview

Squishmallow is one of the best-stuffed toy brands released by Kelly Toys in 2017. It began with the launch of the first OG Squishmallow Squad with eight characters – Cam the Cat, Fifi the Fox, Puff and Piper the Penguin, Hoot and Holly the Owls, Wendy the Frog, and Hans the Hedgehog.

However, it was only in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, these squishy toys took the world by storm. During this period, people on social media started sharing their Squishmallow collections, especially on TikTok. They also said that hugging Squishmallows helped them feel calmer and less anxious during the pandemic. Consequently, the brand ended up selling over 50 million units.

Today, the company has reported selling more than 100 million Squishmallows annually. And what’s surprising is that, even though plush toys are thought to be loved by kids mostly, the majority of their fan base consists of people aged 18 and above.

What Are The Different Squishmallow Sizes?

As we mentioned in our introduction, Squishmallows originally came in four sizes: 3.5 inches, 8 inches, 13 inches, and 16 inches. The expansion and increased popularity of the brand widened their size range to accommodate as many as 12 sizes.

Here’s the standard size chart of Squishmallow soft toys. Do note this may vary depending on the specific line of Squishmallow toys.
