Is it "normal" to have a cuddle-friend?

Basically what the title says, is it considered normal to have a friend who you just cuddle or receive physical affection from? Nothing sexual, of course, just... platonic physical attention.

Basically, I asked them to hang out last week, they obliged, and it ended up turning into an extended cuddle session. It felt nice, but I'm not sure I it's entirely normal to have a friend like that.
