snuggle toy

Soft bedtime friend

A snuggle toy is a soft, comforting object—typically a stuffed animal or plush blanket—that a child holds while sleeping or during stressful moments.

Adults use the term affectionately or nostalgically: She still keeps her childhood snuggle toy on the bed.

Also called a lovey or comfort object.
