First stuffed animals
were suggested
for the elderly with dementia

and they were
beneficial to them
almost like

a real pet.

Now stuffed animals
are said to be
beneficial
to all adults:

stress reduction
less loneliness
mental health improvement
improved sleep
trauma treatment
good memories
a real pet substitute

Taking into consideration
the above

I can see why more
solo adults
are sleeping with
teddy bears

and I can see how
a stuffed dog

or a stuffed cat

would be a viable
no maintenance
option

for many
adults.

Maybe I’ll
get one.
