Bedroom Athletics

Bedroom Athletics began with a fluffy boot. In 2007, founder and MD Howard launched the Marilyn slipper boot, which sold out quickly and drew a flood of good reviews. His aim was simple: to banish boring slippers forever, at a time when most of them looked and felt the same.

The brand listens to its customers. It ran pop-up shops early on, and an early customer's wish for slippers cosy enough for lounging but tough enough for a rainy dash outside shaped the design. It even employs slipper testers.

Materials include Grade A Australian sheepskin, faux fur and Harris Tweed® from the Outer Hebrides. Memory foam footbeds and sturdy soles are standard. The range now covers slippers, slides, loungewear, sleepwear and hoodies.
