2.0 out of 5 stars
Cheap, not that great....., January 10, 2009
I got one of these thinking it would keep me warm when my wife and/or the kid keep the covers for themselves (those little ones creep into bed while we are sleeping like little ninjas). Well, it does keep me warm, except the back of my neck for some reason (more like below my neck line). Unfortunately, they are not comfortable. I bought a large. I am about 5'11" and weigh in at 196 lbs. My shoe size is a size 11.5. The feet are poorly put together and very uncomfortable. The buttom of the footy is not the same material and not soft at all. There is so much excess material inside that my feet were really bothered by it. Also, the amount of static electricity this thing creates is amazing. I suspect if I were to actually drag my feet, get into bed, and accidently touch my wife (before discharging) I would give her a good little zap. It actually crackles when I used to put it on. After several washes it did not shrink (and even using a couple of sheets of Bounce this thing could still light up a Christmas tree). The flap on the back is great for getting hung up on door knobs, though to it's credit, no tears. I don't see the reason for the flap, as it is ill placed and would likely cause more of a mess than if you just took the entire thing off. For that matter, the lowest button is a bit high, so, how can I say this, I have to go over and then out (and I do not have short legs) in order to go, and it's not very comfortable. All in all, I would try a different manufacturer and probably a different material.

Warmth, comfort AND style? You bet!, February 28, 2009
Anyone who drops by the house and has seen me in my pajamas has to do a double take and ask me where I got them. Their second question is usually "Are they comfortable?" (yes, VERY comfortable) Third is usually "Oh my. Do you really use the drop seat?"
POSITIVES:
When I come in from an ice cold day, I slip out of my work clothes, take a nice hot shower and slip my "Big Feet" fleece pajamas on. They keep me warm all over and, heck, I've even saved a few bucks on heating!
I was on the border between Medium and Large, but the sizing chart said I should get a large, which I did. When the pajamas came, I thought I had received the wrong size. Seeing that they were, in fact, a Large I slipped them on and was surprised to find out that they fit perfectly. They even have some built in space for when you are in bed and move around: there is no "restictive" feeling.
They are also a great conversation piece: people think they are the coolest thing, they start to reminisce about their childhood days. The ladies also tend to think they are cute :)
NEGATIVES:
The fleece pajamas tend to generate A LOT of static, so if you're going to work on sensitive electronics in your pajamas (don't laugh, I've done it!), get a "Big Feet" pajama in another type of material.
Also, the Velcro on the drop seat is VERY eager to stick to other parts of the pajamas, so be careful when you drop the seat and put it back or you might walk around the house exposing your unmentionables.
In closing, these pajamas are a dream come true. I've been looking for them for quite a long time and I was glad to find out they exceeded my expectations.
