Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma Plush – Official Collection
Our iconic duo brings comfort and joy in this premium plush set. Rilakkuma, the beloved brown bear known for his relaxed lifestyle, pairs perfectly with his mischievous white companion Korilakkuma. Each character measures 12 inches tall and features our signature triple-layered stuffing system for the perfect balance of squish and support.
We source premium-grade minky polyester for every Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma plush in our collection, selected specifically for its hypoallergenic properties and resistance to pilling. The fabric undergoes a double-brushing process that creates the signature cloud-soft texture fans recognize immediately.
Sizing guide for collectors
The 12-inch standard size fits comfortably in a single arm for children ages three through ten, while remaining substantial enough for adult collectors to display on shelves or desks. We measure height from seated base to ear tip, which means your plush will stand slightly taller when positioned upright.
Our medium 16-inch version works well as a decorative pillow or reading companion, offering 40% more huggable surface area. The jumbo 20-inch edition serves as a floor cushion or statement piece, though it requires more storage space between cuddle sessions.
Care and maintenance instructions
Surface-wash your Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma plush with a damp microfiber cloth and mild soap to remove everyday dust and fingerprints. We recommend spot-cleaning within 24 hours of any spill to prevent staining, especially on Korilakkuma’s white fabric which shows marks more readily than Rilakkuma’s brown exterior.
For deeper cleaning, hand-wash in cool water with gentle detergent, then air-dry completely before returning to play or display. Never machine-wash or tumble-dry, as heat exposure can mat the minky fibers and compromise the inner stuffing layers. The embroidered features withstand water contact without color bleeding, but extended soaking may loosen thread tension over time.

Questions about Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma plush
Rilakkuma is the larger brown bear with a relaxed expression and slight smile, while Korilakkuma is the smaller white bear with a red button on its chest and wider eyes. Both feature identical construction quality and materials, with the main distinction being color and facial embroidery patterns. Korilakkuma’s white fabric shows dirt more readily than Rilakkuma’s brown exterior, so it may require more frequent spot-cleaning if used as a play toy rather than a display piece.
Yes, our plush meet ASTM F963 safety standards and carry recommended age guidance of three years and older. We use embroidered rather than plastic eyes to eliminate choking hazards, and all seams undergo double-stitching to prevent stuffing exposure. The hypoallergenic polyester filling contains no latex, phthalates, or flame retardants. While surface-washable, we recommend adult supervision during cleaning to maintain the plush integrity over time.
We offer both individual character plush and bonded sets depending on your collecting preferences. The duo set provides a modest price advantage compared to buying each bear separately, plus it includes the premium windowed gift box and paired character cards. Individual purchases ship in our standard protective packaging with single-character documentation. Most collectors who want the complete San-X family eventually acquire both characters, so the set offers better long-term value.
Address stains immediately with cool water and a small amount of gentle detergent applied with a white microfiber cloth. Blot rather than rub to avoid pushing the stain deeper into the fibers. For stubborn marks, create a paste using baking soda and water, let it sit for ten minutes, then wipe clean. Never use bleach or harsh chemicals on the minky fabric, as they can yellow white materials or strip the soft texture.
The 12-inch standard size provides the ideal cuddle-to-portability ratio for most fans. It’s large enough to hug comfortably but compact enough to travel in a backpack or overnight bag. Younger children ages three to six may prefer this size for independent carrying. The 16-inch medium works better as a stationary comfort item for beds or reading nooks. The 20-inch jumbo serves primarily as a floor pillow or statement display piece rather than an active cuddle companion.
Our standard Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma plush ship without removable clothing or accessories, maintaining the clean character design from the original San-X artwork. We periodically release limited-edition seasonal variants that feature integrated costumes like holiday sweaters or themed hats. These special editions sell out quickly and typically command collector premiums in secondary markets. The core duo set focuses on the timeless everyday look that defines both characters.
With proper care, the minky fabric retains its signature cloud-soft texture through years of regular handling. We’ve tested samples through 500 compression cycles simulating daily hugging, with minimal fiber degradation. The key to longevity is avoiding heat exposure during cleaning and storing the plush away from direct sunlight when not in use. Customers report their plush maintaining softness for three to five years of active use before noticing any texture changes, and even then the decline is gradual rather than sudden.
