Warm Sleepwear and Blankets for the Winter Season

All you need to keep warm through the winter nights is right here on this lens. I've included 15 tips to keeping warm in bed, a variety of warm sleepwear including footed and thermal pajamas, robes, heated slippers, blankets, heated matress pads, toe socks, and beanie caps, as well as pajamas and snuggies for pets, and videos on how to make a dog house warm and how to make a no sew blanket. 

Tips For Keeping Warm At Night 

  1. Wear a knitted cap/hat to bed. A lot of body heat can be lost through the head.
  2. Sleep with stuffed animals. Although this sounds silly, stuffed animals can actually help to insulate you.
  3. A good way to warm up your hands is to breath on them or sleep on them.
  4. If you sleep on a bunk bed, sleep on the bottom so you can tape up a blanket that covers the front of it. This will help to keep the cold air out.
  5. Right before bed, go for a walk or do a few jumping jacks or push ups. This will help to rise your body heat.
  6. Use layers of blankets. The more blankets you use, the warmer you'll be.
  7. Drink warm beverages or sip some broth before going to bed.
  8. Wear tights or leg warmers to bed.
  9. Close the doors to all the other rooms in the house. This will help to stop the air from circulating and reduce heat loss.
  10. Put up curtains and lay down rugs in your room.
  11. Keep windows air-tight. Stuff a shirt or towel in place where the cold air can get in.
  12. Use an electric matress pad, heating blanket, or bring a heating pad to bed with you.
  13. Wear warm clothing such as thermals, footed pajamas, and toe socks to bed.
  14. Put a hot water bottle under your covers and at the foot of your bed.
  15. Light a candle, they can produce heat. Be sure to blow it out before falling asleep!

About Blanket Sleepers 

(AKA Footed Pajamas)

The blanket sleeper (also known by many other synonyms and trade names) is a type of especially warm sleeping garment worn primarily during the winter in the United States and Canada. The garment is worn especially by infants and young children.

Typically, but not always, the blanket sleeper consists of a loose-fitting, one-piece garment of blanket-like material, enclosing the entire body except for the head and hands. It represents an intermediate step between regular pajamas, and bag-like coverings for infants such as buntings or infant sleeping bags (Terminology and Variations sections below). Like bag-like coverings, the blanket sleeper is designed to be sufficiently warm as to make regular blankets or other bed covers unnecessary, even in colder weather. Unlike such coverings, the blanket sleeper has bifurcated legs to allow unhindered walking (or crawling).

While no single feature is universal (see Terminology), distinguishing a blanket sleeper from regular pajamas usually include:

* One-piece construction with long sleeves and legs.

* Attached bootees enclosing the wearer's feet.

* Composition from relatively thick, heavy fabric.

Although any sleeping garment with some or all of these characteristics could be called a blanket sleeper, the term is most commonly applied to a range of styles that deviate relatively little from the same basic design. (The features of this design are described in the Features section, below.)

Although widely thought of as something worn only by the very young, blanket sleepers are also sometimes worn (in decreasing order of frequency) by school-age children, teens, and even adults. (See Sizes, gender differences, and availability, below.)

Although footed, one-piece garments in a variety of fabrics and styles are used in many countries as infant sleepwear, the specific range of styles with which the term blanket sleeper is usually associated, the term itself, and the phenomenon of children older than infancy wearing footed, one-piece sleeping garments, are all largely unique to North America.
