There seems to be a myriad of these type of products on the market, all claiming to be the 'original snuggie' or 'as seen on tv'.
I've read a few reviews online in which people complain of cheap quality blankets that they received after apparantly ordering the afore mentioned 'genuine' items.
So it was with no small sense of trepidation that I placed my order.
I can report however, that the item I am reviewing, the one on this page, is absolutely genuine.
It arrived in an original box, sealed, and exactly as described.
The blanket itself is a standard thickness fleece. That is to say, it's not as thick as some jumpers, but it's definitely thicker that most bed-throws. The edges are stitched, and the sleeves are long enough even for me, and I'm nearly 6ft tall.
My partner reports that it certainly keeps her warm, and she loves getting inside it to watch tv in the evenings. She's washed it twice, and it hasn't shrunk at all.
It's a good quality fleece blanket that stands up to daily use very well. It's my hope that people will see this review and be able to order this item, safe in the knowledge that they will receive the genuine article, as I did.
A decent product at a decent price.
