The story, briefly
Warmies are plush with a removable or sewn-in insert of millet or flaxseed and dried lavender that is heated in a microwave. The plush is a carrier for a heat pack, which changes everything about how it is used and cleaned.
The category overlaps heavily with weighted plush, since the grain fill also adds weight, and the brand is widely stocked in pharmacies as much as toy shops.

- Confirm the fill type if anyone in the house has a grain or pollen sensitivity.
Warmies questions
How long do you microwave a Warmies plush?
Follow the specific product instructions — typically well under a minute, in short bursts. Overheating scorches the grain fill and is the main cause of failure.
Can Warmies be washed?
Not in a machine. Surface clean only, or remove the insert first if the design allows it. Water in the grain fill will spoil it.
Are Warmies suitable for babies?
Heated plush are generally recommended for older children and adults. Never place a heated plush in a cot or with an infant.
Do they smell strongly of lavender?
Yes initially, and the scent fades over months of use. Unscented versions are made for people who dislike it.
