@annaluv,
Never, actually.
Well, mine is a few feet from my bed in a basket with cushions, which is there in case I ever need more pillows. It's a furry sea otter, a reassuring item in my room, bought from a Goodwill store. I'm an old person, but I still get why people like stuffed animal toys. No, I don't clutch it, but I like its presence in the house.
