THE COMFY Original | Oversized Microfiber & Sherpa Wearable Blanket, Seen On Shark Tank, One Size Fits All (Green)

Product Information

It’s not really a hoodie blanket like the others but – if you don’t mind the strong Little Red Riding Hood/Game Of Thrones vibes – this cape is certainly useful for cuddling up on the sofa. 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. Australian brand Oodie is perhaps the well-known brand, going viral on social media for its huge number of bold designs, from chicken nuggets to chihuahuas. This comes in two different sizes, to fit up to a UK size 34, but even the smaller of the two was ginormous – the largest we tested – and may swamp smaller frames.

These roomy and plush hoodies are the ultimate loungewear, perfect for movie nights or simply staying warm during cold winters. 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. Part poncho and part blanket, it can be fastened together at the front, swung over your shoulder, or simply laid flat over your body, and it heats up gently to warm the top half of your body.

Create a high fashion look by layering the hoodie over a long dress or shirt, adding style and warmth.

Of course, you can also always add one to your Christmas wishlist and let someone else treat you to a cosy winter. Most usually have a front pocket for keeping hands warm (or holding snacks) and, unlike some actual blankets, they’re also machine-washable. With a wide range of colours and designs to choose from, you'll find your ideal blend of snugness and fashion.

Today’s hooded blankets are a world away from embarrassingly old, greying loungewear you wouldn’t be seen dead in. The long elasticated cuffs at the wrists are also useful, keeping your sleeves rolled up and well out of the way if you want to, say, type or cook. Cute ‘n’ cosy, this one looks so good you could probably wear it out of the house, and might even pass as an expensive throw when left on the sofa. 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.
