Blanket Soothers vs Baby Comforters: What’s the difference?

Parents often use the words soother, comforter, lovey, or security blanket interchangeably. To make shopping easier, we use these terms in a more specific way within this collection of baby comforters and Jellycat soothers.

Blanket Soothers

A soother typically features a small plush character holding a lightweight square of soft fabric. The toy is the main part a baby grips, with the blanket acting as a comforting extension.

This style is often called a Jellycat soother, a soother toy, or a soft baby lovey.

Baby Comforters (Loveys)

A comforter usually has a soft character head or small arms attached directly to a flat, unpadded fabric body. Here, the blanket itself is the main structure, with the character integrated into it.

This format is commonly known as a baby comforter, a Jellycat comforter, or a security blanket for babies.

Both are designed to be lightweight, safe, and easy for babies to carry, cuddle, and self-soothe. The usual practical difference is simply whether the toy is holding the blanket or built into it.

Why the names can be confusing?

The terminology overlaps across different product categories.

Soother can also mean a pacifier

In some countries, soother is commonly used to describe a silicone pacifier. This is why some parents expect a pacifier and are surprised to find a soft plush comfort item instead.

Comforter can also mean bedding

Outside the baby world, a comforter refers to a thick quilted blanket for beds. In nurseries, it usually means a small baby comforter, lovey, or security blanket.

Many names, same idea

Security blanket, baby lovey, blankie, buddy. Different names, same purpose. A familiar soft object that helps babies feel calm, secure, and comforted.

Can Jellycat soothers and comforters be machine washed?

Yes, but always refer to the sewn-in care label first.

Jellycat soothers and Jellycat comforters can be washed in a washing machine on a 30 °C gentle cycle, using a mild detergent. For best results:

• Place the item in a mesh laundry bag
• Use a mild, gentle detergent
• Do not tumble dry
• Do not dry clean
• Do not iron

Choosing a baby comforter as a gift

Baby comforters and soothers are among the most popular newborn gifts because they are both practical and emotionally meaningful.

Personalised comforters make a thoughtful keepsake for baby showers, hospital visits, first birthdays, and welcome-home gifts, offering something a baby can use daily while creating a lasting memory for the family.
