Abstract: A plush figure such as a teddy bear of about 20 inches height and a weight of about 3 to 5 pounds holds an insert that can be heated so the figure warms a child or adult. The insert is filled with non-electrically conductive filler elements of a high specific heat such as at least 0.2, so the insert can be heated in a microwave oven and can continue to heat a person for up to 8 hours. The filler elements each have a smooth surface and have a length of about 0.25 inch, so the elements easily slide over one another to conform to a person's body during a hug. An adjustable/detachable sling for carrying the figure, has opposite ends with detachable fasteners of electrically nonconductive material so the figure with fasteners can be heated in a microwave oven.
