For Michael & Brian Speciale, the idea of The Comfy®, the patented wearable blanket that in four years has gone from an appearance on ABC s Shark Tank to being sold in over 100 countries through 5000 retail doors to millions of happy customers, came from a personally challenging time. The idea for The Comfy® came up four years ago while I was going through a difficult time, explained The Comfy® co-founder Michael Speciale. I needed comfort, and The Comfy® became something to focus on that wouldn t just make me feel warm and safe, but others too.
After brokering a deal with Barbara Corcoran on ABC s Shark Tank, brothers Michael and Brian Speciale transformed her $50K investment into a multi-million dollar brand that now gives folks in 100+ countries around the world the feeling that they are being wrapped up in a giant hug.
