Marks & Spencer launches giant couples blanket perfect for cosy winter evenings
With the heatwave a distant memory and the autumn chill arriving in full force, Marks & Spencer has released something we have a feeling is going to fly off shelves as the temperature drops: A giant sleeved couples blanket.
Coined a "slanket" by M&S (sleeved blanket), it's made from a super soft teddy fleece and comes with two sets of sleeves, so that you can snuggle up and share the warmth with your partner, while keeping your hands completely free.
Perfect for when you want to cosy up and watch your favourite romcom, it's a must-buy for winter.
Very similar to the viral Oodie, it has exactly the same appeal. It's soft to touch, keeps you warm, and has head-to-toe coverage — a feature that not many hooded and sleeved blankets have.
Currently only available in grey, the dimensions for the blanket measure in at 240cm in width and 180cm in length. That's ample room for you to cuddle up on the sofa with your significant other. Plus, at least 30% of the material used to make the sleeved blanket is recycled.
If that wasn't enough, M&S has also come out with a single version for just £29.50. It comes in the same soft teddy fleece, features a pair of sleeves and is big enough to cover your entire body.
It's worth noting that M&S has included a little disclaimer upon buying your slanket, which says: "This product is for sit down use only, product is not intended to be used when moving around." Safety first!
Brand new to Marks & Spencer, the couples blanket is yet to receive any reviews, but it's the newest iteration of the very popular Teddy Fleece Hooded Blanket, known as the 'M&S Snuggle', which comes in five colours and has over 600 five-star reviews.
Shoppers have described it as "soft and snuggly", an "essential winter wear" and "the best piece of clothing I've ever bought". One person even said that it's "the best material on the market and made better than anything else out there".
So, if the ratings for Marks & Spencer's Teddy Fleece Hooded Blanket is anything to go by, then the high street store's newly-released Teddy Fleece Couples Sleeved Blanket and Teddy Fleece Single Sleeved Blanket are well worth adding to your basket.
