1. A plush toy comprising:
an outer fabric shell having an inner surface defining a void;
a foam inner inside the void; and
a fiberfill layer between the inner surface of the outer fabric shell and an outer surface of the foam inner;
wherein the foam inner is not compressed while in a relaxed state, and
wherein the fiberfill layer buffers the foam inner from direct contact with the outer fabric shell.
 
13. A construction for stuffing a void defined by a fabric shell, the construction comprising:
a foam inner; and
a fiberfill buffer covering an outer surface of the foam inner,
wherein the foam inner and the fiberfill buffer are sized to completely fill the void defined by the fabric shell such that the foam inner is not compressed while in a relaxed state, but can be compressed as a user interacts with the construction.

forming a fabric outer shell having an inner surface defining a void;
placing a foam inner inside the void, wherein the foam inner has a size that is smaller than the fabric outer shell;
