It has been said that when you are sleepy but still have the desire to read a book or newspaper, then large print is recommended, but this is not always possible and as such we tend to just struggle on. The idea has been taken up by fourteen students from the Royal College of Arts and in partnership with the Great Eastern Hotel.

The project has been named “Bedtime Stories” and comes in the form of a blanket that has several additional sheets added to it; these sheets have been printed with a story in large print from which the user can easily read while in bed. Naturally because this is done in large print, there is a need for extra pages and this is where the additional sheets on the blanket come into play. They act like pages in a book and can be turned when the reader gets to the bottom of the page.
