With the time change –which will make it get dark earlier– and the arrival of the cold, the sofa, movie and blanket season is inaugurated.
Now that we will spend more hours of our free time at home, it can be a good occasion to catch up on overdue readings, do a marathon of series and movies or simply lie on the couch and enjoy a hot drink or a nap.
Thinking about those home days, in
EL PAÍS Escaparate
we have compiled a series of articles that
can make spending time on the sofa more pleasant
: extra soft blankets, cushions with arms to read for hours without hurting your back, neck massagers or foot warmers so that
the experience is as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

fleece blanket
Years ago, the bed blanket became one of the star products of the telemarketing sections.
