Slumbercaps (headwear for sleeping)

[hream]

There are so few online reviews for Slumbercaps (http://www.slumbercap.com/) that I have to add in my personal experience.

As a newly bald man, I was truly shocked at how cold my head would get while sleeping during the winter months.  I didn't want to resort to a regular knit cap because I knew I'd end up sweating and I figured that the bulkiness wouldn't really be comfortable.  I had to do something because my wife didn't really appreciate me continually stealing the sheets to tuck in over my head.

I took the advice of a January 2008 SBG blog entry (http://www.slybaldguys.com/serendipity/archives/176-Slumbercap-how-to-keep-your-head-warm-while-sleeping.html) and requested one of the women's size for Christmas 2009.  Well, I got two black caps and they're great!  My concerns about sizing (I have a large head) proved to be unfounded and they fit perfectly - not too tight but not loose either.  It's a soft material that's warm yet breathable.  Haven't woke up with any head sweating yet.  I do recommend the women's size unless you really want to go for the old-timey long stocking cap look ... apparently, the length of the cap is the only difference between the sizes.

In short, I'm extremely pleased with this product and I give Slumbercaps a emphatic two thumbs up!

I'm afraid it would give me bed head.

Years ago, I used to be able to use a sewing machine to do simple stuff like hemming pants.  I'm thinking that it probably wouldn't be all that difficult to make something like this from flannel.  As it is, I think that the Vermont Country Store might have night caps.

You're probably right, it wouldn't be too tough to make one of these ... but I wouldn't think flannel would be the best choice of material.  Too hot & scratchy and not stretchy enough!

Doesn't it come off when you move in sleep?

Doesn't it come off when you move in the sleep?

Actually no!  I'm a fairly active sleeper, turning over a lot and adjusting my pillow throughout the night ... but it doesn't move at all from the time I put it on until the time I wake up.  Even my ears are still covered in the morning.
