Rik's got the cold shoulder!

Rik's got the cold shoulder!

Loafing around on the sofa is where it’s at. But only if it’s nice and warm. Unfortunately, what with this pesky credit crunch malarkey, heating a room costs about the same as fuelling up a 747 with liquid gold. So thank goodness for the Slanket.

This gigantic fleece blanket is soft, light and ludicrously snuggly. ‘But so are most modern blankets,’ we hear you yell. Well yes, but this quality slice of 100% polyester microfibres features large, loose sleeves so you can keep your entire body covered, arms ‘n’ all, and still use your hands. Clever, eh? Your remote will love you for it.

Just think, no more cold arms when you need to grab your popcorn, wipe away the tears during an X Factor sob story or high five your flatmate following a hard fought Halo victory. Better still, you’ll look a bit like a lounging Jedi knight or a recently unmasked phantom off Scooby Doo.

Swathing yourself in a Slanket means you can turn down the heating and stay toastie all over without having to hide under the duvet with legwarmers round your arms. Brilliant.

It's huge!

It's huge!

By way of an experiment we recently wrapped ourselves in Slankets and gave the sweaty-vested stokers down in the Firebox furnace the week off. The result? We were warm and cosy and saved a small fortune. Yes, our heads were a bit chilly but we were all out of balaclavas.

Machine washable, the Slanket is so comfy it’s liable to completely sabotage your social life. But seeing as telly is so fantastic and nights out are so pricey, that can only be a good thing. In fact, getting up off the sofa once you’re enveloped in its fleecy embrace is virtually impossible. Hands up who loves the Slanket!

The Lavender Pink Travel Slanket

Travel in comfort!

Travel Slanket
Planes, trains and even automobiles can be freezing, so thank goodness snuggle-ologists have created a travel version of the Slanket. As cosy as the standard Slanket, it’s just a few inches shorter so you can move around cabins and carriages without going headfirst into someone’s congealed excuse for a meal. It even comes in a handy travel bag.

Travel Colours available:

Purple

Dark Blue

Ruby Wine

Chocolate Brown

Lavender Pink

press review "It's the perfect present for those who need help coping with cold winter evenings."
Daily Mail - Dec '09
press review "... The Slanket is the perfect gift for those that love to snuggle in front of the TV and with the nights getting colder, this is going to be a real winner."
What Video & Hi-Def TV - Dec '09
press review "Now you can curl up on the sofa under a blanket, but still have your arms free to play with boogies and waft farts at yourself. It's a blanket but with sleeves-it's a Slanket."

visitor avatar What a great product! My room is an extension and was originally a garage so the insulation is poor to say the least, now I have a Slanket I can get up in the morning and work in warmth. I don't know how I put up without it! :).
Matt Ellis, Manchester, UK - Oct '09
visitor avatar The Slanket is ideal for a big fella like me. I take it away on my many coach trips and find it invaluable when it is a bit chilly. It is very washable as I have spilled gravy (Not Asda's) on it several times and it always comes out like new.

visitor avatar I bought two of these yesterday (Weds 8th) around lunch time and received them today (Thurs 9th). Super happy with my purchase! :D I bought the purple and chocolate travel Slankets. The purple is a lot lighter in life than in the picture but my sister will love it! I hope my sisters enjoy them as part of their Christmas presents :) Thanks Firebox!

visitor avatar Bought one for the wife. Really it was just a good reason to avoid having to put the fire on, especially during summer evenings. Saves money on the gas bill. Unfortunately, the thing is it's so comfy, I hog it before she can. Thus, now I have to buy another or the fire stays lit. Anyway, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Buy one.

visitor avatar Just got my grey one today - aside from being very warm, it also makes an ace Gandalf costume.

visitor avatar I've just received my second Slanket. I ordered the first one for my wife for Christmas (she ended up getting it weeks before as it looked so good). It has been absolutely fantastic and I've "borrowed" it on occasion. Trouble was, it was pink. That did nothing for my macho image and made me feel funny. I ordered a brown one for myself, the things were so popular that they were on back order. The plan with getting the brown one is that as well as keeping me nice and cosy on the couch, it'll also double up nicely as a jedi cloak for those troublesome fancy dress parties. Yes it should go nicely with one of the Force FX sabers. The people at work laughed at me, they don't understand just how nice it is to be under a blanket but still have the use of your hands. In fact, I'm typing this review from under it as we speak ;).

visitor avatar I asked for this for Christmas, and I love it! It is possibly the comfiest thing ever and it's massive so there's more than enough to keep me warm :) In fact it's so big I can fit my head in the sleeve!
Rachel Wheeler, Liecester - Dec '08
visitor avatar I've just been given a Slanket as a present. It is quite possibly one of the greatest gifts I've ever received!! It solves the age old problem of no movement and warm arms versus mobile but cold arms perfectly. Firebox, you have excelled yourself.... Again!!
Sarah, Cheshire, UK - Dec '08
visitor avatar I love my slanket! It's great, really snug and means I can keep the heating off. The sleeves are perfect for finding the remote control! Definitely recommend.

visitor avatar I bought three of these - including one for myself. My daughter has a kids one. One of my favourite products EVER!!!!!
