This huge and adorable manatee is so incredibly soft, and feels just like holding a real child!  This is one of our favorites for cuddling, especially if you are trying to mimic the feel of a real person.  

We use one long bead casing from the top of the head to the bottom of the tail.  It is sectioned off in 4 places, and is attached in both the head and tail so it stays in place. 

This manatee can be weighted up to 20lbs and still has room for a thick soft layer of polyester fiber fill.  At 38" long  and 15" wide, it offers a nice weighted area and doubles as an amazing pillow.  Because this animal is so large and the weight is so spread out, we recommend a minimum of 14lbs.  It feels great in the 16 to 20lb range, as there is a lot of fluff to absorb some of the weight.
