I’m a barefoot type of girl. Barefoot or boots, sometimes flip flops. I really love for my feet to be comfortable. So, when I got to review Nature’s Sleep Memory Foam slippers, I was eager to see how they would feel.

I chose the Open Toe Terry Slippers with Memory Foam in Lavender to review. I love that the slippers are soft and comfy and breathable enough to wear even in summer. My feet don’t get hot. And, for winter, they have both open toe or closed toe choices to satisfy every preference.

The soles have visco-elastic memory foam to cradle your feet in comfort and are strong and supportive enough to wear outside.
They also don’t slip. I like to wear them when I go out to get the paper and the mail in the morning.

They’re also attractive and I like that they remember your foot shape and conform to it because of the high quality Nature’s Sleep Next Generation Memory Foam.Very cool!


They feel supportive and soothing. And, I will add them to my list of comfy footwear! They definitely pass the test.

These slippers are available in a variety of colors and sizes and they are also easy to spot clean.  

Nature’s Sleep also makes pillows, mattresses and pet beds and all with the same loving care as well as organic and hygienic materials to help nourish you and your pet’s well-being.

I also love that Nature’s Sleep is environmentally mindful and concerned with conserving global resources. That is always a huge plus to me.
