I’ve seen those snuggly garments and they looked like they would not wear well over time. I’m not sure this is right either. I had eyes on that bearby but then forgot about it. I’m going to ponder that more seriously. If you get one I’d love your thoughts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-any-experience-with-the-off-hours-homecoat#post-2240716 Sat, 27 Nov 2021 15:43:57 +0000 Staysfit 2240716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Walking around wrapped in blankets is a Staysfit household tradition…..the habit passed on to me by my parents, and taken up by my children and DH as well. &nbsp;In my teens, my mother purchased some sort of wearable comforter, (maybe called a Snugli? Or is that for infants??! &nbsp;:-) ). like this only with snaps on the sides. And it may not have had sleeves as much as being a wearable tube/sleeping bag.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was lightweight and cozy, but it did not last very long. &nbsp;The material pilled and the batting bunched up when it was washed. &nbsp;This looks like the improved version. In terms of its weight…..my UGG fleece robe weighs 2 lbs 5 0z. &nbsp;So it would not be much different than wearing some heavy clothing under a heavy robe….. &nbsp;I’m not sure 5 lbs is going to feel very weighted……. &nbsp;In terms of cost, it would seem to depend upon how much you wear it and how long it lasts…..it isn’t pricey if it works for you…..</p> <p>I am more intrigued by the bearaby blankets, &nbsp;I run hot at night and still like the cozy feeling of heavy thick covers…..so the tree blanket has caught my eye. &nbsp;I asked DH for a fleece throw as a holiday gift since mine has worn out. &nbsp;I plan to show him this…….and am thinking these would make nice gifts for DD and DS. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-any-experience-with-the-off-hours-homecoat#post-2240680 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 22:56:56 +0000 gryffin 2240680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stag - that’s not weird at all. I remember staying at a pension in Austria where they had incredible down quilts. They weighed a ton but weren’t hot at all. Best sleep I ever had. Wish I could have taken all the bedding home.<br /> Helena - wow awesome. Will check it out!<br /> Lisa - agree very relaxing!! Love them!!<br /> Janet - are you thinking about the bearaby? <a href="https://bearaby.com/products/the-napper?view=alternate" rel="nofollow">https://bearaby.com/products/t.....=alternate</a><br /> I had forgotten about that. If I don’t buy the homecoat maybe I will treat myself. The weave looks really sturdy. I have standard schnauzers and I think it would be ok. Although I cover my blankets with fleece dog blankets. Adding to the poundage. They cook cooler because of the weave and cotton.<br /> Suz - yes you are the only one opening the windows! I won’t open mine till spring. Although I get plenty of cold blasts opening slider for pups and going out after them!! Brrrrr!!! Agree sleeve length would be key. So many intangibles. Maybe the bearaby…… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-any-experience-with-the-off-hours-homecoat#post-2240679 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 22:26:30 +0000 Suz 2240679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am the one who is always opening the window and kicking off the covers! And it's not due to hot flashes, either!&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway...this looks....cosy. But for me, inconvenient. The risk for me would be those wide sleeves (which would be long on me, I think). I feel like I'd be swamped in the thing. Yet it intrigues.&nbsp;It would be a bit like wearing a quilt, which would be nice in a cold house, for sure, as long as you were sitting still.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-any-experience-with-the-off-hours-homecoat#post-2240678 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 22:26:01 +0000 Janet 2240678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am of no help in this, as my thermostat has completely changed and I now cannot stand anything too hot… but I wish there were a weighted blanket that is cooling! (I’ve see one advertised but it a super chunky knit…and dog claws are a thing in this house) I love the weight of blankets on me but can’t take too much warmth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-any-experience-with-the-off-hours-homecoat#post-2240677 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 22:22:47 +0000 Anonymous 2240677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m under a weighted blanket right now I LOVE mine .

I am intrigued by weighted blankets, but have never taken the plunge. There are nights I’m not sure if I’m actually cold or just need to feel more blanket on me. Is that weird? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-any-experience-with-the-off-hours-homecoat#post-2240666 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 21:03:54 +0000 gryffin 2240666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helena - “magic bag”? Is there something warm I don’t own? Yes to socks. I like my thorlo’s to sleep in too. I’ve also slept in my barefoot dreams zip hoodie robe if it’s really cold under all those layers. But magic bag - please describe!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-any-experience-with-the-off-hours-homecoat#post-2240664 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 20:26:06 +0000 Helena 2240664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, weighted blanket high five ... I love that thing. I get SO cold at night; I have a magic bag for my feet, socks, warm jams and plenty of layers.&nbsp;</p> <p>No help to you on this housecoat, but it does look rather tempting!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-any-experience-with-the-off-hours-homecoat#post-2240663 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 20:25:41 +0000 gryffin 2240663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal - I realized I’d been creating weighted blankets all my life by piling on layers of covers. If the blankets didn’t have enough density I felt uncomfortable and had difficulty sleeping. Who knew this would become a “thing?” But the real deal was an adjustment. I felt claustrophobic the first night and almost sent my 15 lb blanket back. By day 3 I loved it. When my son wanted one for college but never used it I snapped his right up and plopped it on my side. Sometimes I wonder, maybe just one more…. But I’m not sure on the home coat. That’s a ton of cash to burn on anything less than fabulous and used a lot. Of course the lunar black is $100 more than the others. Grrrrrrr. But buying a lesser version is always a disaster. But I’m intrigued. Not sure enough to plunge. But I’m hoping someone will have a personal account. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-any-experience-with-the-off-hours-homecoat#post-2240659 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 19:20:59 +0000 Sal 2240659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Intriguing! I guess it depends if you want to be wearing this whilst doing home activities - making cups of tea, tidying, eating meals - as well as lying on the sofa reading or watching tv? For my life, I could see it being useful for early morning working on my laptop. For the reading or viewing I think a blanket does the same job and covers your feet.</p> <p>I haven’t tried a weighted blanket - it appeals because DH likes very light weight covers which never feel substantial enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-any-experience-with-the-off-hours-homecoat#post-2240658 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 18:40:24 +0000 gryffin 2240658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa - Lol! I didn’t see that but it’s very Ode to a Nightingale” one of my favorite poems. “Fade far away, dissolve and quite forget….The weariness, the fever and the fret”. But in answer to your question, I’m not sure because it’s a matter of fit and it’s one size fits all. Plus I usually like a full closure - buttons, tunic or zip so things don’t come undone. I’m not sure if the one tie would do that. But walking around in a comforter in the middle of winter well that’s the siren’s song…but is fantasy better than reality?<br /> Rachy- yeah. Closures. It’s an issue. I understand no full belt- sausage alert. But toggles, buttons might make it more functional. That’s why I was hoping someone had caved and had irl experience. It’s either awesome or horrible. I can always pack on the layers….. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-any-experience-with-the-off-hours-homecoat#post-2240657 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 16:51:32 +0000 rachylou 2240657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I love the idea of a home coat. And I own a selkie for camping, so that tells you I’m already inclined toward quilted... stuff. But I’m wondering if I’d like a tie closure. That’s one thing that bothers me about my At Home cardigans - no closure. But the reason I don’t wear my robe more often is because of the tie-waist. It’s all kinds of fussy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-any-experience-with-the-off-hours-homecoat#post-2240655 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 16:14:03 +0000 Anonymous 2240655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well that's an interesting bit of video marketing - kind of made me laugh . &nbsp;This is a cool-looking product, and maybe ingenious too! &nbsp;I think you either " get it" and "need it" or don't with something like this. &nbsp;Do you think you'd be comfortable moving around the house in one though? &nbsp;It sounds lovely if you don't move- which maybe is the point? &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm also chuckling at your 2 weighted blankets, layers and sweaters. &nbsp;Add this to the mix and no-one will be able to find you &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-any-experience-with-the-off-hours-homecoat#post-2240653 Fri, 26 Nov 2021 14:55:06 +0000 gryffin 2240653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I can post a find.&nbsp; It's cold!!!&nbsp; I came across this on an instagram feed....seems I am very late to this party because its already gone viral.&nbsp; I tend to run very cold.&nbsp; I like heavy layers, I sleep with not one but two weighted blankets and layers on top of them.&nbsp; I do not care about flattering at home but about comfort and value.&nbsp; Their marketing is very well done "inactive wear" who knew this is something we might need.&nbsp; I change into workout clothes when I get home and often wear those until I change for bed with a long heavy tunic sweater for warmth when not exercising.&nbsp; This would be in that catagory.&nbsp; I'm not sure I'm not intrigued more by the hype or a wearable weighted blanket which sounds like heaven.&nbsp; Does anyone have any experience with this brand?&nbsp; At $395 for the Lunar it's not cheap, but if it actually lived up to it's buzz it might be a worthy splurge.....</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://offhours.co/?gclid=CjwKCAiAqIKNBhAIEiwAu_ZLDnvTFJ1ihpjWr_-R5aLkbBcuZsja0xsKd2uYwWlNXYyA6CelhJR8uBoCGPoQAvD_BwE">https://offhours.co/?gclid=Cjw.....NXYyA6Celh</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://offhours.co/collections/shop-all/products/lunar">https://offhours.co/collection.....ucts/lunar</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://nymag.com/strategist/article/offhours-homecoat-robe-review.html">https://nymag.com/strategist/a.....eview.html</a> </p>
