soft toy

Cuddly stuffed creature

A soft toy is a plush stuffed animal or figure, typically filled with cotton, foam, or synthetic fiber and covered in fabric.

The term is more common in British English; Americans usually say stuffed animal or plushie.

Children sleep with soft toys; collectors display them: She still keeps her childhood soft toys on the bed.
