Pumpkin spice everything, a return to seriously good TV and…cold feet! Beat the chill this winter and treat yourself to a brand new pair of the snuggliest slippers on the market.

To help you find the right fit for your feet, I’ve done a deep dive into the cosiest, dreamiest slippers available in 2026.

I’ve looked at everything, from the big slipper hitters like UGG and Crocs, to staple brands like M&S and Next, and supermarket saviours like TU and Nutmeg.

I’ve found something for everyone here, from the cloud-like loafers to glamorous mules and seriously grippy soles – all best paired with a new pyjama set, of course.

I’ve put each pair of slippers through their paces around the house, and lounged around in them on chilly evenings. I know, hard work, but someone's got to do it. Noting everything from comfort and durability to style and value-for-money, these are the slippers that deserve a spot in your off-duty rotation.

So whether you’re after a pair of sheepskin beauties, heavy-duty boots or barely-there mules, we’ve got you covered.

What we love: Grippy outdoor sole, super soft footbed, pivoting back strap

Take note: Not the cheapest option

If you want a pair of slippers with serious grip, check out the Unfurgettable Clog. The Croslite outsole is grippy across all floors, and means you could even wear them outside if you wanted. Yet inside the clog, you get all the trademark comfort of the brand's beloved Cozzzy Slipper. This pair features a faux suede upper and faux fur liner, collar, and backstrap that feels like a real treat for the feet. Overall, these slippers feel like a supported option, and they offer a fantastic balance of a sink-in soft footbed with a seriously robust sole.

• Size range: 4 - 10
• Sepia, tan black, cream, green, brown
• Faux suede with faux fur lining

What we love: Super padded, contrast stitch detail, and cosy interior

Take note: Sole isn’t that grippy

The first thing to say about these slippers is that they are super padded and walking on them feels like walking on clouds! The high back gives these mules some stability that the open-back styles miss, making them an all-round comfortable, secure option. Plus, the stitching detail feels like a nice detail, especially at this price point.

And in tan, they're going to be a huge array of loungewear options. They come in small, medium or large, and there is no way to adjust the sizing, though, and the sole doesn't feel as grippy as some of the other models tested.

What we love: Plush sheepskin lining, stylish suede, and indoor or outdoor wear

Take note: Quite an investment

If you’re in the market for a splurge, you’d be hard-pressed to beat a pair of slippers from UGG. The sheepskin lining is a joy to wear and keeps feet's temperature well regulated year-round. Plus, they're easy to slip on, and the high-quality suede looks beautiful.

I tested out the Classic Mini Enwrap Boot and found the 10mm sheepskin lining and insole really comfortable and unbeatably warming in this cold snap. This style features a low platform which feels very put together for lounging around the house. But of course, if you'd prefer, you could always venture outside in these with their sugarcane EVA midsole. Personally, living in one of the rainiest climates in the UK, I couldn't do that to this beautiful suede…

What we love: Super luxurious, plush sheepskin interior, and adjustable buckle

Take note: Limited sizing

If you're seeking luxury in slipper form, you can’t beat these beauties from Chelsea Peers. With a beautiful suede leather exterior and an exceptionally plush sheepskin interior, these feel like a real pleasure to not only wear, but look at too.

And this isn’t a case of style over substance, as well as being crafted out of luxurious materials, you can also get a bespoke fit with the adjustable button, meanwhile the durable thermoplastic rubber sole provides excellent grip whatever surface you’re walking on. The only downside is the limited sizing options, which might prevent some people from indulging. It’s also worth noting that, if you’re looking for a gift, these come beautifully presented in a box with tissue paper.

• Size range: S (3-4), M (5-6), L (7-8)
• Suede leather with sheepskin lining

What we love: The prettiest ballet design, cosy borg material, and adjustable bow strap

Take note: Limited sizing

If trudging around in huge slippers makes you feel slobby, check out these elevated beauties from Katie Loxton. These ballet-inspired slippers in soft borg are just the thing to make your loungewear set feel a little more intentional. Plus, the subtle pointed toe is really flattering.

I love the sweet bow detail, and you can use it to tighten or relax to get a fit – although note, there are only three size options. To wear, these are comfortable, without stepping into marshmallow territory. They are suitably grippy too, with the wavy rubber soles. They also come in taupe, but I’m a sucker for this timeless off-white version. Again, if you’re looking to gift, these arrive beautifully packaged; just opening them up feels like a little luxury.

What we love: Super plush to walk on, cheerful colourful knit design, and easy to pull on

Take note: Limited sizes

For a slipper boot that truly feels like walking on clouds, this is it. I love the fun knitted design and cute pom poms, both of which would instantly brighten up a dreary winter's day. Practically speaking, the wide opening makes these really easy to get on and once on, they are extraordinarily plush to walk around in. However, that does mean if you’re someone who appreciates a bit of arch support, these are not for you.

If a full boot feels a bit too cosy for you, I also tested the Lyra Mule Slippers, which were deliciously comfortable, with a low back that meant slipping them on was a doddle. Plus, they come in a full range of UK sizes if you're looking for a precise fit.

What we love: Suede material, perfect blend of support and comfort, and cosy faux fur lining

Take note: Slightly snug opening

If you're looking for real leather, these suede boots from Next are an excellent choice. The suede looks suitably suave, while the hidden faux fur interior feels just about as cosy as it's possible for a slipper to get. If you’re looking for something a little cheaper than the UGG model we tested, these are a great alternative. Plus, they come in actual UK sizes, making getting the right fit a doddle.

The opening is a little narrow, but my wide size 5 feet got in fine, and once on, they feel really secure and robust. When walking around in these, I concluded they are the Goldilocks of slippers; not too rigid, not too soft. Over my testing period, my feet felt both supported and cushioned. And with their faux fur interior, these would be a fantastic option for anyone who feels the cold and wants to keep their feet as warm and cosy as possible this winter.

• Size range: 3 - 9
• Leather suede with faux fur lining

What we love: Unbeatable arch support, timeless loafer design, cosy borg, and could nip out in them

Take note Limited size range

If you're looking for something with arch support that doesn't scream orthopaedic, you've got it with The White Company. These loafers look exceptionally stylish with the timeless loafer style and on-trend borg, yet underneath this suave exterior, the corkbed base of the loafer offers excellent support.

As such, wearing these doesn't feel like walking on clouds, but if you've got arches that need some love, that's only a good thing. I tried them in a medium (5-6) and found a good fit lengthways, and just a touch snug on my wide feet. If you're looking for a pair you can pop out in too, this pair, with their durable corkbed soles, is a great choice.

What we love:

Take note: A little slippery without socks

If above all else, you want your slippers to scream fabulous: stop the search. These sliders are it. With faux fur and a velvet bow crowned with diamante love hearts, it is impossible to imagine a more deliciously over-the-top slipper.

They offer surprisingly good padding too. The fur isn't going to be the most breathable option, so you might find them a little hot and/or slippery if you wear them without socks. But for prancing around the house in your loungewear finery? Utter perfection.

What we love: Perfect for minimalists, super grippy soles, and wintery designs

Take note: Much thinner than a traditional slipper

If you hate the bulk of a trad slipper, you'll love these dreamy little slip-on slippers from Seasalt. Not an awful lot thicker than a thick pair of walking socks, these knitted fair isle print beauties feel refreshing and light on the feet, yet suitably cosy.

And the generous grips on the soles perform perfectly across tile and hardwood flooring. I especially loved the ribbed heel, which felt secure and provided a decent fit. Prefer your slippers a little heftier? I also tested the Snooze Slipper Booties, crafted out of warm merino blend yarn; these are at the opposite end of the spectrum and perfect for anyone with chilly toes!

• Size range: S/M, M/L
• Sonata Dark Hellebore (patterned burgundy), Larkspur Loch Multi (patterned teal)

What we love: Proper sizes, arch support, and excellent value

Take note: Don’t go over a size 8

Calling all bargain hunters – these M&S mules feel like much higher quality than their £25 price tag. They come in a range of proper sizes, and once on, they are incredibly comfortable and feel secure on the foot, with no sliding around thanks to the textured footbed. There is decent arch support here too.

The faux fur and gold buckle keep things looking stylish and cosy, but underneath, these are a real workhorse of a slipper, well up for a day of work from home/house jobs/pottering. The buckle is also adjustable, making these a great option for those with a narrow foot, too.
