Best Slippers: Materials & Colors to Consider

We all want that perfect pair of slippers, but with so many varieties on the market, finding the right pair can take some work. Don’t settle for subpar slippers or try to keep a worn out pair going for another year. Instead, invest in well-made slippers for combined comfort and longevity!

We’ll cover some of the most important things to consider when choosing your next pair of slippers so you can start relaxing at home in your favorite loungewear!

Turkish cotton is among the most versatile materials for house slippers. Soft, cozy and easy to care for, these slippers are warm enough for chilly mornings without making you feel stuffy or sweaty after a few hours of wear.

If you’re looking for a simple, straightforward, plush, terry slip-on, our Classic Turkish Cotton Slippers are the perfect choice. A full-coverage design keeps toes warm on frosty mornings spent indoors or out.

Ribbed Cotton Terry Slippers

When your goal is supportive cushioning with plenty of breathability, a cotton terry-slide-style house slipper is exactly what you need. With an open toe design and the same soft material as your favorite cozy bath towel, you can post up on the couch, sip coffee on the patio or catch up on your emails in comfort and style.

Soft Rib Slippers feature plenty of support thanks to a padded footbed and a grippy rubber sole, so no matter where you roam, your toes can breathe and your feet will thank you.

Shearling Wool Slippers

Shearling wool is a fan-favorite material for a range of purposes. From cozy throw rugs in drafty hallways to toasty, soft slippers, shearling wool is known for combined warmth and breathability. It’s even a popular material for cuffs and collars on winter coats.

When you want to feel like you’ve wrapped your feet in a fluffy cloud, Shearling Wool Clogs are among the best wool slipper options around. They even have a sturdy foam sole with a rubber tread so you can grab the mail or head to the drive through without changing your footwear.

Suede and Wool

Suede and leather slippers get high marks for durability, warmth and protection from the elements. From a classic moccasin to contemporary indoor slippers, suede adds a touch of style to your lounging attire. 

With a cozy Australian shearling wool lining and a soft suede sole that provides plenty of grip without scuffing your floors, Suede Slippers are always a wise choice for busy mornings, lazy afternoons and everything in between.

Waffle Weave Cotton

Honeycomb waffle-weave cotton is the perfect indoor slipper material. Thick cushioning meets a light and airy texture for the perfect balance of coverage and support. Plus, waffle-weave cotton is machine washable, so your warm slippers are as easy to maintain as your favorite towel or bathrobe.

Waffle Bootie slippers are ideal for those of us who want a bit more coverage. You’ll stay effortlessly comfortable and wonderfully draft-free from your toes to your ankles in these cozy, washable slippers.

According to psychologists, the colors that surround us can have lasting effects on our mood and feeling of well being. Bright colors often energize us while more muted natural tones usually soothe us and inspire an overall sense of relaxation.

When you’re shopping for slippers and other loungewear, selecting colors that make you feel peaceful and relaxed is always a good idea. Ditch the cheetah print slides and hot-pink fuzzy slippers. Instead, curate your downtime with some of our most relaxing and popular colors like tan, gray, terra, mineral, clay, fawn, blush and white. 

Life is too short to feel frenzied at home. Choose bliss and satisfaction instead.

Oeko-Tex is an independent organization created to keep the textile industry safer and more honest about the manufacturing process. With 17 independent research and testing institutes worldwide, Oeko-Tex provides the information you need to support only the most ethical and safety-focused brands.

Achieving Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification involves meeting a series of rigorous requirements to ensure textiles are completely free from harmful substances.
