Bedroom Athletics Slippers Newsletter

Bedroom Athletics launched in 2007 with a single, now-iconic design – the Marilyn slipper boot – and sold out almost immediately, earning coverage in style magazines and prompting queues at John Lewis. Founded by Howard, a former footwear industry representative who wanted to banish boring slippers forever, the brand has grown from that one breakthrough style into a full collection of luxury indoor footwear and loungewear, all designed in the UK. The company's guiding principle is that slippers should be both genuinely stylish and practical enough to nip outside on a wet morning, and every design is produced with that balance in mind. More than fifteen years on, Bedroom Athletics remains one of the most recognisable names in the premium British slipper market, with a Trustpilot score of 4.7 out of 5 drawn from thousands of customer reviews.

Great British Design

Every Bedroom Athletics slipper is designed in the UK, and the brand carries that heritage as a core part of its identity. Styles are named after cultural icons – the Marilyn, Monroe, Kate, William – and the range spans faux fur slipper boots, sheepskin mules, moccasins, fashion sliders, and indoor/outdoor styles. The brand also introduced eco-conscious lines including slippers made with recycled faux fur and packaging using 100% biodegradable bags, introduced in 2021.

Harris Tweed Collaboration

One of the most celebrated parts of the Bedroom Athletics range is its collaboration with Harris Tweed, the hand-woven heritage fabric produced exclusively in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland and protected by an Act of Parliament. Styles such as the Kate and William pair authentic Harris Tweed uppers with Grade A Australian sheepskin lining, creating slippers that represent two of Britain's best-known craft traditions in a single product. The Harris Tweed Authority has recognised the partnership as a strong example of the fabric being used in contemporary lifestyle products.

The Full Range

Beyond the signature slipper boots, the Bedroom Athletics catalogue covers:

• Sheepskin and faux fur mule slippers for men and women
• Genuine Harris Tweed slippers with sheepskin lining
• Indoor/outdoor slides and spa flip-flops
• Dressing gowns and loungewear for men and women
• Hooded blankets and accessories

Sizing and Fit

Bedroom Athletics uses a banded sizing system for women's styles: S fits UK 3–4, M fits UK 5–6, L fits UK 7–8, and XL fits UK 9–10. Men's styles are typically sized in standard UK shoe sizes. The brand recommends checking the size guide on the product page, as the fit can vary between styles depending on the lining material used.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bedroom Athletics still trading?

Yes. Bedroom Athletics continues to trade from its UK base and maintains an active website at bedroomathletics.com, where its current collection is sold directly to customers. The brand is also stocked by a number of independent retailers across the UK.

Where are Bedroom Athletics slippers made?

The slippers are designed in the UK. Bedroom Athletics markets its products under the banner of Great British Design, though like most footwear brands, manufacturing takes place overseas. The Harris Tweed fabric used in the collaboration range is woven in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, under strict certification from the Harris Tweed Authority.

What happened to the original Marilyn slipper boot?

The Marilyn slipper boot, which launched the brand in 2007, remains a bestseller and is still part of the active collection. It is widely regarded as the product that proved luxury slippers could be fashionable, and it continues to appear regularly on gifting lists ahead of Christmas.

How do Bedroom Athletics slippers compare for warmth?

Styles lined with Grade A Australian sheepskin – including several of the Harris Tweed range – are among the warmest in the collection. Reviewers frequently describe the sheepskin lining as exceptionally soft and insulating. Faux fur styles offer good warmth with a vegan-friendly alternative to natural materials.

Are Bedroom Athletics slippers suitable for outdoor use?

Several styles in the range are designed with durable, non-slip soles suited to brief outdoor use – such as stepping into the garden or onto a doorstep. The brand has positioned this indoor/outdoor durability as a key feature since its early days, responding to customer feedback that slippers needed to handle more than carpeted floors.

What sizes do Bedroom Athletics stock?

Women's slippers run from UK 3 to UK 10, grouped in banded sizes (S, M, L, XL). Men's styles are available in standard UK shoe sizes, typically from UK 7 upwards depending on the style. The full size availability for each product is listed on the brand's website.
