The Slanket was started in the college dorm room of Gary Clegg in 1998 so he could stay completely covered while channel surfing. Gary and his brother Jeff joined forces and launched www.theslanket.com, finally in 2005. Growing up in San Diego and Maine, their positive attitudes and friendly values transcend their business model. They know the product is innovative and functional, but they always maintain to keep quality and customer service as the top priorities.
