"Simon Rhoden was a determined, humorous and intelligent young man who had his life cut short by Cystic Fibrosis. Having to spend plenty of time on the couch to rest, Simon thought up the idea of the doona suit.
A year or so later Jonathan Charilton mentioned this idea around the dinner table. His family thought I was nuts, but luckily his sister-in law thought this was an idea worth pursuing. After purchasing a couple of Doona’s* at the Christmas sales, she set about making the first prototype. The jacket was huge and the pants bulky – he looked like stay puft the marsh mallow man, but knew it was a winner. Many hours lying on the couch watching footy, temperature testing in freezing conditions down the coast and in the Yarra Valley, and more than two years working on the style has resulted in the current lazypatch duvet suit."
In memory of Simon, a percentage of profits from lazypatch will be going to the Simon Rhoden foundation to help ease the pain of current cystic fibrosis sufferers.
Lazy Patch Duvet Suits are great for:
- Lazy days on the couch.
- Waking up on those freezing cold mornings or returning home from work on those dark dreary nights – throw away those old tracky dacks and baggy jumper.
- Camping or on those weekend get aways.
- Save the environment – turn the heater down 2 degrees (or off) and Reduce your Emissions.
- Save on heating bills - turn the heat off or down and wear your lazypatch.
- University students living out of home.
- Purchase one for your parents – their circulation isn’t what it use to be!!
- No need to get out from under the quilt while leaving the couch (great for those quick toilet breaks!)
- It's the perfect gift for Mothers Day, 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th birthdays. What could be more unique than a suit made out of Duvet!!
- The suit can be stored away as a pillow – throw another matching pillow case over the top and keep on your bed during the warmer months.
- The jacket is perfect for the early morning dog walking, or watching the kids playing sports.
- For all those guys with partners that feel the cold and have the heater on at 100 degrees – this is the answer!! I am one of those that have to have the heat on--until now!
- It’s not just a winter item – think of those cold summer days when you don’t want to turn the heater on as it could be 40 degrees the next day.

It is very true...You will definately have to turn your heat down if you wear you Lazy Patch Duvet Suit! It is so warm and very comfortable. I look life a pink puffball in it but I am warm and toasty. I have turned my heat down 7 degrees since wearing my suit. I am in my mid 40's and my circulation isn't that great, so this suit was a blessing.
