DREAMIE: Infomercial Review

So just what is a Dreamie? The makers of this admittedly great product seemed to have trouble defining it. According to them it's this unique product that is kind of like a blanket except it opens up and you sleep inside of it, and it has a built-in pillow, so have something more comfortable to sleep on at hotels or on the couch, and ...and....and....

IT'S A SLEEPING BAG, OKAY? Why can't they just come right out and admit the Dreamie is a sleeping bag!Once you're willing to admit what it is, then you can concentrate on why it's better than your standard sleeping bag. And I'll grant you, it is. The Dreamie seems to be made of a silky kind of material that looks quite cozy, and the built-in pillow is a nice touch. And it's certainly more affordable than a sleeping bag.

So call it a sleeping bag designed for indoor use. For covering up on the sofa or in front of the fireplace. But a sleeping bag it is.

The Dreamie commercial is silly in other ways, too. Like when they show a woman covering up with a blanket on the couch and then ask if you ever "wish you were in your own bed." This genius was obviously in her bedroom to get the blanket! So go to bed then!

Then there's the scene where the announcer notes that the Dreamie is perfect for dorm rooms--and show this college student on a bed larger than any I've ever slept on. Since when do college dorm rooms have king-sized beds?

My wife has been after me to get a few Dreamies. Maybe I'll break down and do that and take one with me camping. When she gets this look of horror, I'll just remind her: "It IS a sleeping bag, dear."
