A snuggle blanket is usually made of plush soft fleece. One type of blanket that is great for snuggling is the type that is like a huge gown or dress. It has oversized sleeves that allow for the use of one's hands without un-wrapping the blanket. It can be worn like a robe but has no type of closure. A snuggle blanket does not have to have sleeves, however. It can be a simple poly fleece or other type of snuggly warm blanket that invites you to spend a bit of time beneath it - for napping or lounging or just cuddling up on the couch in front of the fireplace.
One might find these useful not only in the home but when attending outdoor sporting games such as football that are plagued by cold temperatures. Others take a snuggle blanket to the office when their jobs require sitting for extended periods of times as the large arm openings allow for them to freely work without pulling or tugging at a traditional throw.
Availability of these blankets first began as television advertisements with very high shipping and handling charge. However, they are widely available in many department and retail stores nationwide as well as online. With some simple research, one will find a wide variety of sites offering these blankets.
