How to Tell the Differences Between the Different Styles and Options of Adult Blanket Sleepers

Ever been to a store that sells adult blanket sleepers when you realize, "are these garments really for me? Can I get used to them again?" Well, with a little knowledge of the differences, you can make a blanket sleeper work on your body. This article can tell you how to get the right one for your proper body.

Steps

1. 
   1
   Take a good look at the garment. Although most blanket sleepers are made of a one-piece set, there are some that are 2-piece. If it is a two piece set, you'll see that one half is a shirt-like piece, while another is a pant-like piece.

   Take a look at the substance used to close the garment. These garments may use either zippers, Velcro, buttons (with buttonholes) or some other closure system.
   • If this garment uses zippers, take a good look at how far down the zipper reaches. While all children's blanket sleepers terminate near the child's ankle area, there are only a few blanket sleepers for adults that come relatively that close to terminating there. Instead, in most adults' blanket sleepers, you'll likely find them terminating at about chest-high height. About 10-15% will terminate most of the way down in adult sizes.

   Look at the garment's footings. While most popular blanket sleepers come with feet, there are a few out there that don't. It's a pick-and-choose world, and you'll be lucky if and when you pick a sleeper with these feet on/in them.

   Look at the bottom of the garment's feet. Some have a non-skid fabric attached to them, while others don't. It may not be too common for companies to call this white non-skid surface by it's common name, but some companies still use them in their adult products. The white surface is called JiffyGrip. Almost all child's blanket sleepers will come with JiffyGrip on them, as most parents find it the most-suitable idea for their child's safety.
   • Some now come with vinyl instead of JiffyGrip, and some even decide to go without. But it's preferable that all people should have some non-skid surface on their blanket sleepers. Look for this feature in a product.

   Look and consider the fabric type the sleeper is made of. Some sleepers that are sold are warmer than others. The warmer the sleeper is, the more comfortable the user is, and more apt the user may be to wear them again on the next consecutive night. But the heavier the material may make it uncomfortable when the wearer is trying to consider this type of garment as "normal".

   See if you can spot an applique on the sleeper. While almost all child's sleepers come with appliques on them, some adult blanket sleepers sold offline will tend to come with appliques on them. At online stores you can ask for these as an optional feature, and therefore for a few extra spare cash parts.

   Look at the top of the garment for a hood. While most infant and child blanket sleepers come with a hood attached, there are many adult blanket sleepers where you are deprived of one. Some companies, especially those sold online, have made it commonplace to use a hood on their product. But these companies are few and far between that do.

   Look at the drop-seat drawer area of the garment. Some adult blanket sleepers now come with a drop seat area that can better help the user without fully having to undo their sleeper so they can use the toilet and still be able to keep warm everywhere else on the body. Almost no child blanket sleeper comes with these feature, as most children are either potty-training or they are still in diapers, and what good would it be to have something that would never be used on a child?

Tips

• Blanket sleepers are almost never "one size fits all/most", and are almost always sized in Small/Medium/Large (alphabetical texted) sizes. They never will be suited in numerical sized types.
• Consider your size (including your weight and height) when picking the right size sleeper for your build. If it's not comfortable, you're more likely to return the garment. Always buy one size bigger than your traditional size you would traditionally buy for your shirt size.

  It's not just women and girls who are wearing blanket sleepers; some men and late teenage boys are wearing them again! too
