When the Snuggie just won’t do: The Sleep Suit (read: Snuggie in disguise)

Before we go any further on this visual journey, I’ll point out that when mocking Sleep Suit and comparing it to the Snuggie, don’t confuse the two on your end. The Snuggie is a blanket with sleeves while the Sleep Suit is a piece of swiss cheesed foam designed into a “suit”. Well, now that that’s over, shall we continue…?

Had the world not had enough of the Snuggie? Even more so when it spread to other species such as the Dog Snuggie? Apparently not. Since the original Snuggie, there have been numerous knock offs and other countless variations all ripping off the same basic design — a blanket with sleeves. While this new emerging Sleep Suit isn’t exactly a blanket or device built to keep you warm, the ideology and actual design of the suit is equally as stupid.

So what is the Sleep Suit? Just look at the picture. It’s a sleeping aid concept designed by Forrest Jessee. It looks more like the Michelin Man’s fat ass wife ate a human and started busting at the seams. In more day-to-day vernacular, “it’s a simple suit made out of foam that properly positions the body when those midday naps arise”. So, in essence, the Sleep Suit is in fact just that — a sleep suit.

Why someone can’t make due with a pillow, blanket, rolled up t-shirt, or god forbid, an arm is beyond me. The world’s marketing gurus at work I suppose. Oh well, at least it will give blogs across the country something new to make fun of for the next few months. If the Sleep Suit comes to market, we’re all doomed.

Just answer me one thing: Would you wear this to work, school, or play?
