A Review of the Cabin Cuddler

Several weeks ago, I blogged about a neat and specialized travel blanket, the Cabin Cuddler. I got one! Here’s my review. And by the way, this is not a paid review– it’s gratis!

The Cabin Cuddler is a very compact package. It’s lightweight and comes with a blanket, an inflatable pillow (it’s uninflated for carrying purposes) and the carrying pouch with a clip-on handle.

The entire set is extremely light and portable, perfect for travel. It was invented by traveler and airplane captain Jim Levings, who noticed his airline passengers always shivering beneath their skimpy airline-distributed blankets. He, his wife, and his sister put their heads together to create the Cabin Cuddler, a very lightweight but warmth-retaining blanket with a specially-designed pocket for the feet (he got a patent for this unique foot pocket design, too). The blanket is washable, portable, and personal. The Cabin Cuddler comes with a pillow, too. It’s adorable!

There’s a special way to unfold the blanket and wrap it around you. It seemed a little puzzling to me at first, but my daughter caught on pretty quickly. There’s an instruction paper with good diagrams in the package.

The inflatable pillow (you blow it) tucks into a small pouch at the top of the blanket. I found this ingenious! The design is thought through very well.

You spread out the blanket and sit in it. You then tuck in your feet and wrap your legs with the flaps. Finally, you take the upper flaps and cover your arms. The material is very soft and exceptionally warm.

My son, Sniffy, loved it. Once he was wrapped up, he wouldn’t get out. The kitten loved it, too. They look like they are going to nap.

Thumbs up on the Cabin Cuddler from the Mecombers! I think it’s the perfect travel accessory, but I also intend on using it while sitting at my desk this winter (my living room gets cold). Actually, I’m using it right now and I am so comfortable! I also think it would be perfect for an emergency winter kit for the car, too. You can read more about the Cabin Cuddler here and see a video about it, too. We love it!
