Get your “Z’s” with Zzooties bed socks for year-round wear
Bethlehem, CT -- ZzootiesTM Sleeping Booties, socks to wear
while sleeping in bed, are moisture-wicking, breathable, and
offer comfort to chilly feet under the sheets, year-round.
Lynn Gorman has been a year-round bed sock wearer since she
heard about a research study that reported warm feet can bring
on sleep. She has introduced Zzooties in two styles, a ped
and a rolled cuff style for a looser fit. (Call 877-996-6843).
See www.zzooties.com.
“I tried all sorts of socks to sleep in,” says Gorman. “Some
were too hot, others too tight or too high on the ankle. My
favorite was an athletic ped-style type. It’s been fun to
create a brand for sleeping in. Many of my women friends sleep
in socks, so I knew there was a market.”
Gorman works with a small, family-owned and operated sock
maker in the Midwest to produce Zzooties. “It was important
to me that Zzooties be made in the U.S. by adults.” They were
also experts at producing socks with the quality and material
content Gorman wanted.
“With Zzooties’ fiber content -- mostly CoolMax® and
cotton with just a bit of nylon -- your feet are warmer than
room temperature, warmer than the sheets, and warmer than
the backs of your partner’s legs,” says Gorman. “Yet, the
CoolMax material helps to keep feet dry and cotton is a ‘breathable’
material. I wear them even in the warmer months.”
Zzooties’ two styles are sized for women. Gorman hopes to
add colors and styles, including one for men if she gets interest.
Zzooties, $9.95, plus shipping and handling. Call 1-877-ZZOOTIE
(877-996-6843) to order. Visit www.zzooties.com.
