As a shopping reporter, I tried, sampled and tested my way through many products in the year 2024 — but none were as loved or used nearly as much as the UnHide Shleepy robe, a versatile and supremely cozy piece of loungewear that I haven’t stopped wearing since the day I got it. And it’s currently on sale at the brand’s online storefront for 20% off.
I will admit that I hemmed and hawed over the $100 that it would take to get this cozy garment in my possession; however, once I took the plunge, I quickly realized that the Shleepy was so much more than a bathrobe but something I could throw on for literally anything whether it’s lounging around the apartment, throwing on after the shower or running a quick errand. I even wear it to sleep on especially cold evenings.
Part of its all-purpose capability comes from its clever design. The Shleepy is an intentionally oversized hoodie that feels as if you’re wearing a blanket but, without all the presumed clumsiness. Despite its enveloping feel, I can still manage to wash dishes, do my skin care routine and perform other tasks without any kind of impeded movement. This is largely thanks to the strong elasticized cuffs that will keep your sleeves exactly where you want them, without falling or cutting off your circulation.
I adore the shawl-like neckline that goes into a hood, which feels almost as if I’m wearing a scarf, sans any suffocating sensations. I’m also obsessed with the billowy sleeves and generous deep pockets that can hold my phone, extra tissues, keys and even my wallet.
Another key factor in UnHide’s cozy invention is the material it’s made out of — an incredibly plush faux shearling that feels fleecy, but softer and almost marshmallow-like. I’m very sensitive to certain fabrics and have a lot of issues with textures, so I was incredibly relieved to find that the Shleepy managed to not trigger any of my sensory problems, even after several cycles through the washing machine.
And as someone who tends to run cold most of the time, I genuinely appreciate how warm this robe keeps me. It even makes waking up in the early hours easier because I can just wrap myself in the Shleepy and go about my morning routine.
As I mentioned earlier, the robe, which comes in up to six colors and gender-neutral sizes S-XL, is intended to fit roomy. Based on this, I first tried my regular size, but because I was after even a cozier fit, I returned it for a size up and was much happier because I was really able to wrap myself in the robe and have that sensation of cuddling up inside a blanket.
Many reviewers followed my lead with this concept, with some Shleepy owners even purchasing multiple sizes so they have one robe to wear at home, and the other to wear outside the house.
Several others have echoed my adoration of the UnHide Schleepy robe in the review section of Amazon (which you can read for yourself down below). Otherwise, grab one for yourself from any of the retailers above.
Promising Amazon reviews:
“This is the softest, warmest, most snugglable thing you will ever own! I practically live in it. I tried a couple of other types of less expensive sweater/jacket/wrap-type things and was not satisfied. So I bit the bullet and purchased it. Loved it immediately. I wear an 18 in clothes. I got the XL, which is huge… and wonderful! Really long sleeves. When I’m too warm wearing it, I drape it over my shoulders. When I nap in the recliner, I’m snuggled up in it. It really relaxes me. When I couldn’t fall asleep in bed, I turned to my ‘Yeti’ coat, and it worked! Ended up getting several for family members at Christmas. You will not be disappointed!
UPDATE Dec 2024: If I could give it 10 stars, I would. Washes beautifully. Absolutely no issues with it. So light and cozy and warm. I ordered a second one to keep in my bed. l can’t imagine anyone not loving it.” — Voracious Reader“I haven’t taken this off since it was delivered earlier. I’m in love with it. It’s so soft and cosy, much warmer than I expected, and looks fab. I ordered XL as I always err to the larger size and I’m thrilled at how large it is, letting me wrap myself up in it completely. Mine did come with a little bit of the stitching on the edge undone, but nothing fabric glue can’t put right.
The pockets are more than big enough for my iPhone pro max or to fit my wallet if I need to nip out for an errand. This is going to be a game changer for autumn walks with my dog, and my cats already think I’ve bought this for their benefit when they snuggle up to me.” — Alex“Lightweight, washable and very warm shorter robe. I really enjoy wearing this particular robe as it’s warm and not bulky.” — MsMellie0488
“I love how snuggly this jacket is. It runs HUGE. I ordered a Large and it wraps about another half around me. I also love how LONG the sleeves are. I rarely find sleeves long enough to cover my wrists. They stay at your wrist with elastic like joggers. I’m back to order another, but in a Medium so I can wear this out of the house. Super cute with sherpa UGGs. I’m 5′9″ and about 180 lbs.” — J Kelley
