What is the Filling inside of a Microwavable Stuffed Animal made from?
Each Warmies product contains a carefully measured amount of specially treated flaxseed that has been thoroughly cleaned and dried to a specific moisture content. This moisture content might make the Warmies product feel damp the first time it is microwaved, but that is normal. Every Warmies filling also features an added hint of dried French Lavender flowers, from Provence, France, to give a relaxing aroma. However, not all microwavable stuffed animals feature the same class of materials.
In fact, other microwavable stuffed animals may use the following types of filling:
- Clay beads
- Plastic beads
- Cotton
- Wheat filling
- Polyfill stuffing

What makes the stuffing in a microwavable plush different from a stuffed animal?
The average stuffed animal and microwavable stuffed animal toys are not built the same. Most stuffed animals on the market are filled with material that is generally unsuitable for microwaves. This filling can be synthetic fiber, batting, cotton, straw, wool, plastic pellets, and beans. Having this stuffing within stuffed animals does not mean you cannot microwave it, but generally this material might not not hold onto the heat as well or at all.
The reason why toys like Warmies are able to retain the heat is because of their filling. The specially treated natural filling of flaxseed is capable of withstanding heat and will retain it for a good portion of time. Warmies can also be placed in the freezer to be a cooling element rather than a warming one.
What are weighted stuffed animals filled with?
Most weighted stuffed animals are filled with poly-pellets, plastic pellets that give an item weight. Warmies does not use this material in their weighted stuffed animals. Plastic, when heated, can leak toxins into its surroundings or even melt. Instead, what you'll find is dried flaxseed and layers of fabric to add weight. The added weight helps ease anxiety and provides comfort.
What are Warmies fillings treated with?
Each Warmies product is filled with carefully measured specially treated flaxseed. This filling has been treated with all-natural ingredients, promoting a positive wellbeing for all.

The treatment exists to better preserve and maintain the integrity of the Warmies product, as well in aiding in the microwavable feature.
What Scent is in Warmies?
Warmies takes pride in using all-natural filling to promote a healthier wellbeing and lifestyle, and with each Warmies stuffed animal comes the addition of real dried French lavender.

While it's safe for humans, exercise caution if there are pets in the household, as lavender can be particularly toxic to dogs when ingested.
Does Warmies stuffing use grain?
Each stuffed animal from Warmies is comprised of microwave-friendly materials in addition to the specially formulated millet grains and dried French lavender. You won't find any instances of plastic or other such material within the Warmies. The grains within allow for heat to be retained, making for a soothing and much-needed aromatherapy for relaxing. While other companies use fillings such as clay beads or synthetic beans, Warmies takes the more all-natural approach.
Do Warmies stuffed animals attract bugs?
