Product Information

This poncho’s shape means that your hands remain free for typing, drinking, reading etc (although does mean that they miss out on the heat), and we found this perfect for keeping the upper body warm when working from home on chilly days.

It plugs into the wall like a traditional heated throw, with a remote to control the power, heat intensity and amount of time it stays on for. And it also has an auto-shut-off function. 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. 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.

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. 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.

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. There are a few different styles – and prices – on the market, but the hoodies from specialist retailers like Oodie, Kudd.ly, Onesnug and Snuggly are all very similar, if we’re being honest. The wrists are elasticated and so the sleeves do not prevent you from getting on with jobs around the home. Not cold anymore sitting to eat, working online or even curling up on the sofa. Looking at buying another because I so love this one it will have to be removed with a tyre lever." 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.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. 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."

Shopper Jobyhere said: "So lovely. I was looking for an oversized blanket-style top and was surprised to find this as such a good price. I wanted something for those chilly days working from home and evenings when you're trying to avoid gas costs. I have the oatmeal and it's a got a great "fur effect pile" 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. Today’s hooded blankets are a world away from embarrassingly old, greying loungewear you wouldn’t be seen dead in.

John Lewis shoppers have praised a "cosy" lounge hoodie they say saves putting the heating on. The oversized blanket-style top is available in four different colours. As the name suggests, the best hooded blankets sit somewhere between a giant wearable hoodie and a cosy throw. It also got the ‘paws up’ from our feline tester, who couldn’t stop kneading into this super-soft fabric (on the downside this sherpa fabric does collect cat hair like a magnet…) 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. 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."

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. 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.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. 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. 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." VERY SOFT: The hoodie is available in four colours (Image: John Lewis) WITH temperatures dropping and heating costs rising, an oversized hooded blanket should be an essential item of loungewear this autumn and winter.
