Rik's got the cold shoulder!
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.
Oversized sleeves
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!
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!

Travel in comfort!
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.

"It's the perfect present for those who need help coping with cold winter evenings."Daily Mail - Dec '09
"... 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
"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."Front - Nov '09
Visitor Reviews...
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
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.Neil B, Fleetwood - Oct '09
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!Sarah, Stevenage - Oct '09
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.John Higgins, Stockport - Jul '09
Just got my grey one today - aside from being very warm, it also makes an ace Gandalf costume.Jon, Lewisham - Feb '09
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 ;).Matt Charlton, Bradford - Feb '09
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
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
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.Louise, Eastbourne, East Sussex - Jan '10
I bought three of these - including one for myself. My daughter has a kids one. One of my favourite products EVER!!!!!Anne-Marie, London - Jan '10
