Morning Glory's Teddy Bear

Teddy bears; making sleep ergonomically comfortable.

Edwin Lais


Morning Glory is well known for making cute and quirky products, so it is an absolute must that they have their very own Teddy Bear. Now this particular model is relatively large, but not quite sofa sized, making it a suitable size for ergonomic sleep positioning. 
One feature I find particularly important is pillow coverage between both knees. When sleeping side-ways, people can find that their knees clash with each-other, feeling slightly uncomfortable, especially when you're a bony or skinny person like me. This model has an awkward length, only reaching half of it, partially softening the deadly, rock hard bones of the knees.

The width of the bear is of good size, allowing enough length to separate arms from awkwardly knocking with each-other during side-way sleep, as well as not being too big to even hug. The outside material is fairly fluffy, which is somewhat pleasant but can be very annoying to the face, prompting sneezing and an "in-your-face" feeling which is uncomfortable. 

The fluff of the inside is a hard-class fluff, being sturdy but not flexible. This is something of personal preference, so in an objective point of view, hard-fluff is better for people who don't move as much when sleeping. Personally I move a fair amount during both my deep and light sleep, so I find my other personalised soft-fluff teddy bear more suitable. It should also be noted that hard-fluff is recommended (but not restricted for) upward resting, as opposed to the side-way position.
Both the interior and exterior materials are very insulated, allowing fast and consistent warmth through your own body, as well as cool release in the hot summers. Due to the smooth exterior, dust collection isn't too much of a problem, and only needs to be washed once every few months.

Pros: 
  • Balanced size
  • Warm
  • Comfortable
  • Ergonomic
Cons: 
  • 'Fur' doesn't give much face space
  • Slightly short
All in all, I give this Teddy Bear a 4.5/5 - Cute and comfortable sleep assistant.
