How to Distinguish the Quality of Plush Toy?
Pinching
Because the outer fabric can be seen and touched, most merchants add inferior fillers to the interior of the plush toy to reduce costs. The difference in internal fillers affects the feeling of gripping, the resilience of the toy, the natural distribution of the fillers, and the degree of contamination of the toy after washing. Generally, the main fillers used in the market are foam, sponge, spray-bonded nonwovens, PP cotton, PP vacuum cotton, and some merchants mix some of them. The best quality of these fillers is PP vacuum cotton, its every fiber is hollow. Therefore, no matter how to twist or press, the PP vacuum cotton will quickly rebound to its original state.
Here are a few comparisons between several typical materials and PP cotton: If foamed sponge as a filler, plush toy will have a clear stratification, uneven filler distribution. If sponge spray-bonded nonwovens as a filler, the soft and hard degree is uneven when grabbing a plush toy, and the rebound speed is too fast. The spray-bonded nonwovens as filler, has a hard feel when gripping, and it is not easy to rebound. After gripping, there is a noticeable dip, and the filler is irregularly distributed. If plush toys become dirtier after washing, that the internal filler quality is poor.

Pulling
Although the outer fabric is visible and touchable, it is not easy to distinguish the difference between the outer fabrics. Let's start with a simple way, using the fingers to pull the plush of the plush toy. We know that the outer fabric is usually made of woven warp and weft, and then made of short plush or other plush. Good quality fabric is not easy to shed with fingers, and imitations are easy to shed. This is because the quality of the outer fabric in the weaving process, the warp and weft matching is very compact, so the attached pile is not easy to be pulled down.
Touching
There are many kinds of outer materials for plush toys. Such as short plush, Heim Cashmere, etc. This makes us distinguish the quality of external fabrics to form a certain degree of difficulty. But we can still find a difference by simply touching it. When touching the surface of the outer fabric with the hand, good quality fabrics will not shed hair, and feel softer. Some super-soft treated fabrics will feel softer. And the fabric of poor quality, easy to shed hair, feel hard, some even make people can not produce the desire to buy.
Watching
Watching allows us to distinguish the quality of plush toy from two aspects.
1) Colour
2) Model
By watching, no matter what we feel about the overall shape of a plush toy, there is a feeling. This feeling is actually the highest quality of the toy— essence. Designed and well-crafted plush toy gives a very pleasing feeling to people. This is the charm. The poor product does not have this feeling. The realization of this kind of charm is not only the expressiveness of the eyes, but also related to placement of the parts of the toy, size ratio, and overall posture and so on.
