Your favourite hoodie and blanket rolled into one

Love them or hate them, blanket hoodies have seen a massive spike in popularity since lockdown – searches are up by over 2000%, in fact. We’re not surprised, this cosy piece is like your favourite hoodie, blanket and dressing gown rolled into one.

Restrictions might be easing, but after two years spent at home we’re still investing heavily in loungewear here at Prima. But you haven’t completed your at-home staple wardrobe until you’ve invested in a blanket hoodie – it’s officially the comfiest item of clothing out there. Plus, it’s perfect if you find yourself fighting over the blanket with family members during Strictly viewings, or you’re someone who likes simply to keep the energy bill down by layering up (which is good for the planet, too).

So what does a blanket hoodie look like, exactly? They’re oversized by nature, often made from synthetic fleece (it’s long lasting and fast drying) and lined with borg fabrics that feel ultra soft against the skin. The best bit about them is the price tag – the luxe options on this list still ring in at less than £60, while the cheaper options start from £17.

Curious? By slide 10 we’re confident you’ll be convinced that the blanket hoodie is a must-have – keep scrolling to see Prima’s top ten picks for 2022.

Save £25 with code VALENTINE The Oodie went viral last year on the internet, with fans comparing the borg-lined hoodie blanket to a “big marshmallow”. This genius invention isn’t just comfy, it’s practical too – you can sling yours in the washing machine (just don’t tumble dry!) anytime there’s a tea spillage. We think this fluffy cloud print version amps up the cosy factor, but you can choose from prints of koala bears, pizzas, avocados and more.

We like the simple poncho-inspired shape of Marks and Spencer’s hoodie blanket. If you struggle to share the blanket with family members during TV time, you’ll be pleased to know this one comes in kids’ (starting from £19.50) and mens’ sizes, too.

John Lewis’s Anyday range is all about staples, so we’re pleased to see our favourite hoodie blanket in this season’s lineup. This one is made from grey fleece, lined with faux-sheepskin and fitted with a kangaroo pouch – the perfect home for the remote or snacks.

New Look’s hooded blanket is one of our favourites in this edit, thanks to the muted grey leopard print. This one is lined with cosy borg fabric and cinched at the cuffs to keep the chill out.

The more fashionable of the bunch, Hush’s zipped jersey option is definitely more hoodie than blanket. It’s still incredibly comfy, thanks to the slouchy fit and longline silhouette, but a little more like everyday clothing than the fleecy options in this edit.

Did you know you can shop for those covetable middle-aisle ALDI goodies online now? We were thrilled when we spotted a hoodie blanket on the brand’s website. This bargain option (the cheapest in this edit) ticks all the boxes and comes in three colourways, including this playful avocado print.

A dupe of the famous Oodie, we know our readers loved this blanket hoodie when we wrote about it back in December 2021.

Another great option from Amazon, this blanket hoodie is made from a shaggy faux-fur. The fit is seriously oversized, which is why it comes in just one style for both men and women, but the ribbed jersey cuffs will keep the sleeves from trailing. We love the little hand-warming patch pockets on each hip.

Silent Night makes the comfiest beds, so it’s only natural the brand tried its hand at the famous hoodie blanket. This design is pretty simple – essentially just a wearable blanket with arm holes – but very effective. While most versions tend to be knee-length, this one has a maxi hemline so you can tuck your feet in.

‘The Comfy’, as it is so aptly named, was the original wearable blanket as seen on Shark Tank (US Dragons Den). It won over the judges, and has us sold too, with its supreme oversized fit and fluffy sherpa lining.
