The Cabin Cuddler is designed by Jim Levings who is a commercial pilot. Whenever airline co-pilot Jim Levings walked into a passenger cabin, he couldn’t help but notice how people struggled to stay wrapped and warm with skimpy airline blankets. Feet were almost always exposed (and cold). Blankets often slid off or opened with the slightest movement. And Jim also knew the airlines’ dirty little secret: that blankets are used and reused no matter how sick or germy the previous user may have been, or how wet and moldy the blankets may have become.
So he created a blanket that people could carry with them whenever they fly—or stay at a hotel, go camping, attend an outdoor event, or snuggle at home. It’s contoured to fit totally around the human body, has a patented foot pocket so feet always stay warm inside the blanket, and is accompanied by an inflatable pillow as germ-free as the blanket.
Jim’s lightweight, fleece-lined Cabin Cuddler has become the premier travel blanket: It keeps all of you warm, fits compactly into a handsome tote bag, doubles as a cushy stadium seat when kept inside the tote, and includes a personal pillow. Plus it’s machine washable so you can keep it clean and germ-free.
The Cabin Cuddler makes every trip more pleasurable. You’ll always want one with you.
Use the cabin cuddler to keep warm at home in front of the television, sitting at the computer, at cricket matches, on picnics, at outdoor concerts and theatre, at point to points ... infact anywhere where you are sitting down and might get chilly.
'I bought a Cabin Cuddler for all the travelling I do. I am always cold on a plane and there are never enough blankets and trains seem to be kept at a constant temperature of minus 12 degrees. I also use it at home to snuggle up in front of the televison .. the foot pocket means my feet are always warm! It's the best purchase I've ever made. ...' A Allen - Blackpool
'I have just bought a cabin cuddler from your shop and I have to say its fantastic. I got it to go on a camping holiday but had a brainwave and took it to go and see a production at the Globe Theatre. While everyone else was freezing to death I was fine, I also used it on the train on the way back home so i think I may take it everywher in future. Thanks' K. Johnson - Coventry

While arriving at vacation destinations is still a joy, getting from point A to point B has become an increasingly dreary process over the last couple of decades. There was a time when air travel was not only fun, but somewhat glamorous: Everyone dressed nicely for their trip, beautiful stewardesses doted on you throughout, and the airlines welcomed passengers gratefully. All that has changed dramatically. In this millennium, vacationers dress and act like trailer trash, the flight attendants treat passengers like unruly children that must be controlled, and the airlines frisk you like a potential terrorist. You cannot control those elements, but you can make traveling more pleasurable for yourself, by incorporating a few little luxuries you’re your trip.
Luxury # 1 is the Cabin Cuddler™. If you are fortunate enough to snag a blanket on an airplane-which for some reason maintains an average temperature of - 12 throughout the flight-it is about as comfortable as a potato sack. What you need is The Cabin Cuddler™, a wonderfully cozy fleece blanket whose dimensions were created to fit accurately into an airplane seat. Once you have covered the seat with your Cuddler, you fit your feet into the pocket at the bottom, and use the flaps to wrap yourself up in comfort. Voila! You are ensconced in your own private universe of warmth and cleanliness. The Cabin Cuddler™ comes with its own little bag for easy storage in your carry-on tote.

Despite becoming coveted items in coach, airplane blankets are about as comforting as a paper towel. Most are so flimsy and skimpy that they refuse to stay where they should – namely, covering a passenger. Enter the Cabin Cuddler™, a sizable fleece blanket that’s effective in even the coldest of airplane cabins. The Cuddler offers a foot pocket and shoulder flaps that ensure it will still be on you when you wake up; the design of the blanket breaks it into connected sections of material that wrap around the body just as desired. The blanket comes with a stuff tote that makes storage easy and, best of all; no one has ever used it but you. Available in both adult and child sizes.

Finally a lightweight wrap-around blanket that provides the traveler warmth and comfort from head to toe - say good-bye to drafts caused by today's skimpy, rectangular travel blankets that never stay in place.

Today's savvy traveler can adjust to temperature changes by bundling her entire body, covering only her lap, and/or draping it over her shoulders. No matter how it's worn, the traveler's arms are free to read, write or eat, and the airline seat belt will be visible at all times. The high-grade fleece blanket comes in a colorful cylindrical tote that attaches to pull luggage and carry-on bags. It is a perfect travel companion - comfortable, effortless to carry, easy to clean and ideal for travel by plane, train, motor coach or automobile.
