This Weighted Derpy Pillow Mimics a Hug From the ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Tiger to Help You Gently Fall Asleep
The feeling of holding the cuddly 18-inch Derpy plushie against the body provides a "comforting, cozy feel," per a product description.
A new weighted "pillow buddy" inspired by the KPop Demon Hunters' supernatural tiger, Derpy, is now available for purchase on Walmart. This plush toy, measuring 18 inches, is designed to mimic the comforting embrace of a hug and provide gentle pressure against the chest, which may help users with anxiety, restlessness, or insomnia.
The toy is made from soft "velboa" material and features Derpy's expressive eyes, toothy grin, and leopard-style spots and stripes. Similar weighted stuffed animals typically weigh less than two pounds, ensuring safety and comfort. This particular Derpy pillow is part of Netflix's official KPop Demon Hunters merch line, joining other toy releases like Squishmallows and HUNTR/X Mattel dolls.
An alternative option is a "Sleeping Derpy" pillow available on Amazon, which features the tiger in a sleeping pose and is not weighted but still provides a cozy snuggle.
