Sienna Hooded Blanket with Ultra Soft Sherpa Lining Warm Cosy Blanket Oversized Thermal Throw Hoodie

Product Information

As the name suggests, the best hooded blankets sit somewhere between a giant wearable hoodie and a cosy throw. 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 Percy Pig playfully featured on the hood, it would make a great gift, and it's as cosy and snug as it is fun. It’s worth noting, however, that for safety reasons, young children shouldn’t sleep in hooded blankets – no matter how tempting that may be.

Even better, it’s machine washable at 30 degrees, so it was quick and easy to clean when we could be convinced, somewhat reluctantly, to take it off. First up, we sought out the trusted opinions of Mumsnet users to get their feedback on the blanket hoodies they’ve tried, rate and would recommend to friends and family. ly’s hoodie is like wearing a bear hug and is so big you’ll be able to curl your entire body up inside.It comes in just one colour, ivory, in keeping with The White Company’s typical neutral palette – very Cameron Diaz in The Holiday, we feel. If your budget doesn't stretch quite that far though, fear not, as there are plenty of high-quality Oodie alternatives available. 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. There’s the familiar extra large pouch pocket to the front for storing your essentials (why not stick one of the best hand warmers in there if you struggle with poor circulation when it's cold?

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. 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. 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. Expertly matched with elastic cuffs and a double opening front pocket, this will make a fantastic gift for friends, family or even yourself!

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. Not only are Mumsnet users raving about it on the forums, but we adored it when we tried it out ourselves. We're disappointed that some retailers doesn't include the battery power pack needed to power up the heating element, though these can be found easily from several retailers. More of a poncho than a hoodie, this has short sleeves and open sides that can be popped together at a couple of points for a slightly snugglier fit.
