I’ve tried both the Slanket and the original Book Blanket (www.thebookblanket.com) and can only say that the Slanket is a big fat rip off. There is no comparison in quality between the two. Where The original Book Blanket is made out of a soft, thick, non-static high quality fleece the Slanket, simply put, just feels cheap. If you are in the market for this type of product I can only recommend that you go with the original Book Blanket. That one you will use and come to love. The Slanket will most likely end up in the bottom of your wardrobe. Atleast mine did. Go Book Blanket!
