Product Information

Some shoppers said the lounge hoodie came in handy when working from home - although it doesn't cover everything. Jessie2008 said: "This is very comfortable and ideal if you work from home a lot. Not wanting to state the obvious but your legs aren't covered so I wear a pair of leggings when I put it on in the morning and if it's extra cold I'm going to pop a long sleeve vest underneath." The secret to the super comfortable fit? It’s all down to the oversized shape of blanket hoodies. The best versions have generously wide sleeves, trapeze silhouettes or are poncho shaped to make them super easy to throw over anything: pyjamas, cashmere matching sets, you name it.

For us, though, Oodie just takes the top spot for keeping the body at the perfect temperature and for its vast range of designs and viral fame. Are hooded blankets worth it?

Hooded blankets have become so popular that they’re now widely available across the high street, from upmarket lifestyle stores like The White Company to your local supermarket. It probably goes without saying that theirs is incredibly soft and cosy. The inner fleece is as soft as cotton wool while the outer feels silky, meaning that, despite its size, it didn’t actually feel as bulky to wear as some of the others. There are also now lots of online-only brands that specialise in these hoodies, like Oodie, Kudd.ly and Snuggly. One thing’s for sure, the UK's craze for blanket hoodies isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, the uber comfy style is only getting better in 2023, with fresh designs made especially for travel, and chic long-lined numbers guaranteed to up your loungewear game. It’s not the warmest one we tried (think late autumn chills rather than depths-of-winter, below-freezing temperatures) but we’d probably say this was the most practical, while this pale pink colour we chose (prettier in real life than our phone camera could capture) is about as ‘feminine’ as one of these items could get.

Extra large, extra warm and extra snuggly, Kudd.ly’s hoodie is like wearing a bear hug and is so big you’ll be able to curl your entire body up inside. Of course, you can also always add one to your Christmas wishlist and let someone else treat you to a cosy winter. Overall very pleased with this and I like the cuffs - they aren't too tight and keep the fabric from getting in your way when doing tasks. John Lewis - please manufacture this with double-layer fabric - it would be like wearing central heating and in these difficult economic times it could avoid people needing to put on the central heating at all. Definitely recommend."Your biggest problem will probably be deciding which design to go for, as there are tens, if not hundreds to choose from (we lost count at 80), including animals, food, star signs – even ones from franchises like Harry Potter and Friends. We especially loved the long, snug-fitting elasticated cuffs – perfect for keeping heat in and sleeves out of food – and the protective bag it comes in, for storing it neatly away in warmer months. We did try hooded blankets that kept us slightly warmer, but thanks to Onesnug’s ‘MicroCool’ fabric, this won’t leave you feeling uncomfortably hot and sweaty. Longer than most, cushiony soft and cosy without being too bulky, this one from UK-made brand Onesnug gets a big thumbs up from us. WITH temperatures dropping and heating costs rising, an oversized hooded blanket should be an essential item of loungewear this autumn and winter.

Today’s hooded blankets are a world away from embarrassingly old, greying loungewear you wouldn’t be seen dead in. If you’re after that fluffier, soft-as-clouds style of fleece rather than the denser type of, say, Oodie, this is the best one we tested. It’s definitely one for wearing while cosying up on the sofa rather than when trying to get anything productive done, as its size and weight make it a little cumbersome, and the large hood often falls over the eyes – great for napping, not so great for WFH.This hoodie is, of course, oversized, but not so big around the hood or sleeves that you can’t see, eat or type – we could comfortably wear this at our WFH desk or walking around the house without it getting in the way. Peach said: "Very soft, very cosy. With the hood up it's like being hugged by a teddy bear. Hugely oversized (esp on my 5'2 frame) but that adds to the cosiness, and more importantly leaves room for multiple layers underneath which is definitely helpful during this cold snap! The cuffs were fine for me but my wrists are v slim, so might be uncomfortable for others." Arguably the original and most famous, the word ‘Oodie’ is now synonymous with hooded blankets – we even found ourselves telling people that we were “testing out Oodies” when talking about this feature. They may also help to save you money on your heating bill this winter too, as heating the body is always a cheaper option than heating the home; ideal if you work from home or spend long periods of time bingeing Netflix on the sofa.
