Faux fur is used to make teddy bears primarily for its softness and plush texture, which enhances the cuddly appeal of the toy. It is a synthetic material that mimics the look and feel of real fur while being more affordable and easier to maintain. Additionally, faux fur is cruelty-free, making it a more ethical choice for consumers who prefer not to use animal products. Its durability also contributes to the longevity of teddy bears, allowing them to withstand play and washing.
Most teddy bears are usually filled with polyester. This seems to be the most popular. Plastic pellets are also used for stuffing teddy bears.
Vintage mohair and faux fur are common and popular furs used on teddy bears. Polyester and darcon are almost always used for stuffing and are the easiest to find. Eyes used to be made with glass beads but are now made from plastic are come in a variety of colours including metallic colours. The paws are usually made from heavy felt but using suede or leather would give the teddy bear a more authentic look.

They were named because Teddy Roosevelt refused to shoot a badly injured young bear that his hunting guides had captured and chained to a tree, because it "would not be sporting". What is usually forgotten is that as Teddy Roosevelt was walking away he told the guides to "put it out of its misery" and one of the guides then used his hunting knife to slice the bear's abdomen open spilling its guts on the ground. The bear died in extreme agony 15 to 30 minutes later! Sure they could make teddy bears in WW1!
