Maybe it’s all in my mind but Bleeves really changed the way I sleep and improved the quality of my sleeping hours. This is coming from someone whose sleeping pattern became whacked because of the pandemic, after sleeping at least right hours every night for years.

But that’s getting ahead of the story. I got the Bleeves (which is short for a blanket with sleeves) as part of a press kit from a beauty brand (Benefit Philippines) so it was pink, of course. I’m ashamed to say that I was so excited to use it I didn’t even wash it the first night. I just sprayed it with alcohol and hang it to air.

It has always been difficult to use your hands while holding a book or your phone or a tablet but Bleeves has made it easier. Because of the pandemic, we’re spending most of our time at home (most likely in the bedroom) so Bleeves is a comforting and cozy addition to our WFH or learn-from-home set-up.

Each Bleeves is made from fleece, which is what gives it the luxurious and cozy feel. Bleeves is available in different colors, prints and in five types: Kids Size for kids up to 6 years of age; Regular Size for out-of-home use; XtraLong Size for home use; Bleeves EasyFold which conveniently folds into a pillow and the GiDie or Giant Hoodie (available in Regular Size and XtraLong Size

If you’re buying one, you can have your name embroidered on it. Bleeves would also make a great gift so if you’re buying it for that purpose, it would be worth the extra coin to have it personalized.

I have the regular size and it’s perfect for sleeping. Sleeping is now something I look forward to every night. My pre-pandemic sleeping pattern still hasn’t returned but it has improved significantly. I love my Bleeves so much that I bought one more for a family member who kept on borrowing mine. I’m also thinking of buying another one printed with stars for myself.

Order your Bleeves from their website. Prices start at Php545 for the kids’ Bleeves and Php645 for the regular adult size.
