Yes, I'm 24 going on 25 and I still sleep with stuffed animals. I was very attached to my baby blankie growing up, never letting a single hole or stain ruin it, and slept with it every night until 8th grade when I realized it was fading, so I carefully tucked it away in my mom's treasure chest. Shortly after, I was out shopping and walked out of the Disney store with Simba and Nala stuffed animals as a replacement to the baby blankie. Over the years, I've acquired many stuffed animals as well as a body pillow that I alternate with as well.

It's not so much a need for a "security blanket", but it feels unnatural to sleep without holding something, like my arms are in strange angles without it, and it's nice to hold onto something that's soft and fluffy. No one has ever made fun of me, although a couple people have found it odd without saying anything, and a few people have even offered their own stuffed animal or small pillow if I have forgotten mine at sleepovers.

Does anyone else sleep with a stuffed animal or some kind of body pillow?
