A single woman woke alongside a human-sized puffy teddy bear in her hotel room and said she slept comfortably because of her companion.
According to Daily Mail, Iram Ramzan claimed her new non-human boyfriend was extraordinary as he didn’t make her uncomfortable with his snoring or duvet-snatching.
“He was totally bearable… because he is a bear. Yes, that’s right. I’ve just spent the night in a hotel with a rather extraordinary teddy.”
Ms. Ramzan wrote her story for the British Tabloid and explained how spending time with Loving Bear Puffy was the best experience for her.
“Loving Bear Puffy, to give him his full name, is a 5ft 7in milky-brown ’emotional support bear’ that lonely singletons can buy for £135 if they’re in need of a cuddle,” she wrote.
“He has the ‘shape and size of a male human body’, his creators claim, ‘with the head of a half-asleep bear’. This gives him rather strange proportions — the broad shoulders of a weight-lifter and a soft toy’s tiny head.”
The giant furry bear is stuffed with high-quality polyurethane foam filling and weighs around 3.2kg.
“You can lean on him if you need a shoulder to cry on, or clasp your fingers around his hand for reassurance. You can snuggle down beside him on the sofa with a book or watch a film, or he can share your bed,” wrote Iram.
She continued, “As the website states, he replaces the lack of a person’s physical presence, especially during long, lonely nights.”
Iram noted that at first, she tried to ship Puffy to the UK but it was taking more than ten days so she decided to go to Bulgaria by herself and experience the bear snuggles in Varna, Bulgaria.
“So, here I am in Varna, sitting up in my hotel bed with Puffy.” She penned.
“The guys behind Loving Bear Puffy could be on to a winner here. The number of women not living with a partner or who have never married is rising rapidly in every age group under 70.”
The UK native said she had tried all the online dating apps, including Tinder and Bumble.
“These apps become all-consuming — constantly swiping left or right on match after match, before things fizzle out or they ghost you. And not only are more people staying single, but they’re also staying at home, too. Nearly a third of 20 to 34-year-olds live with their parents, according to the Office for National Statistics.”
She said the best thing about this Bear is that he is always there when she needs to snuggle, and he doesn’t even waste any time getting to know his partner for days or weeks.
“And while some might think it’s a bit odd to spend the night with a bear, a 2019 survey found that as many as 34 percent of adults still sleep with a soft toy,” she added.
“So essentially, we have become a generation of adult babies: millennials, still living at home, sleeping with their teddies. No wonder the birth rate is plummeting.”
As per Daily Mail, “Puffy is the brainchild of Bulgarian businesswoman Tonia Berdankova, 47, and her 22-year-old daughter, Ina Marholeva. They developed the idea last year, after Tonia was trying to figure out how to manage a lonely summer without her husband Peter, 48, who was working out of town.“
