Made from a double-face fleece knit, the robe was extremely cuddly and warm.
Maria, tester:“The material of the robe is SO soft.
This may be my favorite lounging robe I’ve ever had!

The robe is what you would expect from an UGG productsuper plush and warm.”
If you fall in the latter camp, Amazons Waffle Robe is for you.

For those who want an affordable, practical robe, this one is it.
Because it is so lightweight, it’s a great all-season robe."
Coming from the brand known for itsfuzzy socks, its essentially a blanket in robe form.

Bet hey, that only further plays into the giant blanket aesthetic.
Due to the loose fit, we easily layeredpajamasunderneath and still felt unrestricted to move around freely.
The robe had no problem staying shut, likely due to the texture of the fabric.

We were even impressed by the low-maintenance washing instructions and how good the fabric looked after wearing and washing.
Needless to say, the robe exceeded our expectations.
Putting it on felt like being embraced in a warm hug yet not too hot.

In fact, its great for year-round wear.
The sleeves were a bit too long on our petite frame, but we could easily roll them up.
Once we washed it, the robe didnt shed anymore.

Still, we think the luxurious feel and absorbent material make it worth the price.
Jess, tester:“The material is very plush and comfortable.
Besides the aesthetics, the robe was quite functional.
Byrdie
The silk was lightweight and breathable, yet it didnt feel too flimsy or cheap.
It’s one of those luxe items that people would be hesitant to splurge on themselves.”
Besides the extensive size range, we instantly fell in love with the robe’s unique material.

The material also didnt pile, stretch out, or shed at all during the testing period.
The fit itself was the right balance of being loose yet not oversized.
I like the weight of it and the cozy feeling it has without overheating me."
Byrdie
The inner lining is made from the brands Comfy Soft Bamboo, which is extra cozy.
And to top it all off, its a carbon-neutral product.
David, tester:“The material of the bathrobe was incredibly soft and high-end feeling.

The robe has some weight to it and was slightly heavier than my cheaper bathrobe.
It feels like like you’re using a bathrobe from a spa.”
Not to mention the fabric didnt pill, fade, or stretch out either.
Byrdie
Yet the biggest game changer is the sleeve length.
While many robes come with extra long sleeves, these end before the wrists.
Its such a small change yet makes such a big difference.

Well be wearing it postpartum for sure.
Ivy, tester:“It is so soft and looks high-qualityit’s givingquiet luxury.”
