I bought this as a birthday present for my wife. She really feels the cold, is pregnant and as we're coming into Winter I thought she'd like it. She doesn't just like it, she loves it and tells me that it's the best present she has ever received.
These are HUGE, very warm and comfortable. With a dressing gown you have a belt wrapped around you that can feel constricting. A Slanket, is basically a thick, fleecy blanket with sleeves in it :) These really are well worth the money and I'll probably buy another one as a present for a friend of mine.
