Millions of viewers around the world have fallen in love with KPop Demon Hunters, with the Oscar-winning film now ranking as Netflix’s most-watched original movie of all time.
But if you’re like me, you’ve also fallen asleep to the film, with the moody scenes and haunting soundtrack (occasionally) serving as an ideal backdrop to doze off too. I’ve seen the movie so many times, the songs are almost like meditation for me.
Now, there’s another way to fall asleep with the film, as Walmart is selling a weighted “pillow buddy” inspired by the supernatural tiger, Derpy.
CALMING EFFECTS
KPop Demon Hunters Derpy Weighted Pillow Buddy
Buy Now AT WALMART
Similar to a weighted blanket or weighted heating pad, this plush toy is stuffed with beans to help it sit upright and also provide gentle pressure against your chest or body.
Walmart doesn’t give the exact specs for this new release, but in my experience, similar weighted stuffed animals typically weigh less than two pounds, so you’re not in danger of being smushed or crushed. Instead, it’s like a gentle hug that can often help with anxiety, restlessness or insomnia. The feeling of having the cuddly 18-inch Derpy toy against the body “provides a comforting, cozy feel,” per a product description.
This stuffed toy is made from a soft “velboa” material, which mimics the look and feel of velvet. The colorful plushie features Derpy’s expressive eyes, toothy grin and leopard-style spots and stripes. While he follows owner Jinu around in the film, this version of the blue tiger can now be your companion at home.

Looking for another Derpy pillow option? More than 1,000 shoppers have picked up this “Sleeping Derpy” pillow in the last month alone, per Amazon.
This plush toy features the tiger in his sleeping pose, which may inspire you to fall asleep as well. This plushie isn’t weighted, but at 18 inches, it’s perfectly sized for a snuggle. Both of the Derpy pillows are part of Netflix’s official KPop Demon Hunters merch line.
The stuffed animals come on the heels of other KPop Demon Hunters toy releases in recent months, including an official Squishmallows collection and official HUNTR/X Mattel dolls.
SET OF TWO
GISEO Cartoon Pillow Covers
Buy Now ON AMAZON
You can also pick up this fan-made pillow cover set, which features two versions of the HUNTR/X trio posing in their performance outfits.
Sized for your couch, chair or bed, the Amazon deal gets you two 18 x 18-inch pillow covers inspired by KPop Demon Hunters. Keep in mind: you’ll need to buy the actual pillows separately (we like this top-rated throw pillow here).
You can shop for more KPop Demon Hunters bedroom accessories, like blankets and bedding, here.
ALSO AVAILABLE
Toy Story Buzz Lightyear Weighted Pillow Buddy
Buy Now AT WALMART
Walmart, meantime, sells other weighted toys, like this Buzz Lightyear plushie, which measures 23 inches in size (just under two feet).
A bestseller online, shoppers give the weighted plush an average 4.9-star review out of five, with reviewers praising everything from the toy’s “sensory soothing” abilities, to the fact that you can toss it in the washing machine and dryer.
