        🎁 Product & Care

        What is a Snug Sac made of?

        The Snug Sac is the warmest, coziest, and most comfortable sleeping bag-blanket hybrid on the market! It features a plush sherpa inner lining for maximum warmth and fluffiness, paired with an ultra-soft flannel fleece outer for that extra touch of comfort. Whether you call it a blanket or a sleeping bag, one thing’s for sure — the Snug Sac will leave you feeling as snug as a bug in a rug!

        What size is the Snug Sac?

        The Snug Sac comes in a one-size-fits-most design, measuring 185cm long and 85cm wide. It’s the perfect size to wrap yourself up in, providing ultimate comfort and coziness for a wide range of people.

        How do I care for my Snug Sac?

        The Snug Sac is machine washable, but if you want it to last longer and stay extra fluffy, we don’t recommend machine washing. For the best results, hand wash or machine wash it in cold to warm water on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergents that are approved for wool or silk, and avoid washing with other colours. Never tumble dry and don’t iron it.

        Is it suitable for all seasons?

        Yes! The Snug Sac is designed to be versatile and cozy enough for year-round use. With its warm sherpa inner and soft flannel fleece outer, it’s perfect for cooler months. But it’s also breathable enough for milder temperatures, making it comfortable for those in-between seasons. Whether you're cuddling up in winter or lounging on a chilly evening, the Snug Sac has got you covered!

        Can I send one as a gift?

        Absolutely! The Snug Sac makes the perfect gift for anyone who loves comfort and coziness. While we don’t currently offer gift wrapping, it’s easy to send one directly to the recipient. Just enter their shipping address at checkout, and they’ll get a cozy surprise delivered right to their door!

        Is the Snug Sac suitable for children?

        Yes, the Snug Sac is perfect for kids too! It’s ideal for sleepovers, school camps, or just lounging at home. The cozy design makes it a favorite for both kids and adults, offering warmth and comfort for any occasion. Just keep in mind, it’s designed as a one-size-fits-most, so it might be a little roomy for younger children.
