February 20th is National Comfy Day and The Comfy’s 5th Birthday! To celebrate let’s take you down a brief timeline of a fast and fun 5 years while also taking a peek into the exciting things the future holds!
A trip back to 2017:
Our journey began when co-founder Michael found his nephew, Saxon, trying to stay warm while napping on a cold Arizona day. He was napping in an oversized sweatshirt with his legs tucked in and a sherpa blanket beside him. Inspired by the idea of wrapping the world in a giant hug, Michael and Brian Speciale created the world’s first wearable blanket!
The Brothers moved quickly to create a prototype, which would become The Comfy Original! They then auditioned and proposed their creation to the investors of Shark Tank. With a fun song, lots of smiles, and huge passion, The Brothers landed a deal with Barbara Corcoran! They were off to the races to get The Comfy on the shelves so people around the world could Feel The Happy™.
It’s been a wild ride ever since. Today, The Comfy is sold in over 100 countries around the world, and we’ve expanded with a range to keep everyone wrapped in a giant hug!! Here’s a shortlist of the great products that have come to life since our inception:
