As the cost of living crisis continues, many of us are looking for ways to keep the heating off for longer – and one product has gone viral for being ‘the cosiest thing ever’.
Enter the Oodie – a wearable fleece-lined hooded blanket that has garnered serious praise from Martin Lewis fans for helping them keep their energy bills down.
The Australian brand has appeared again and again as a recommendation on MoneySavingExpert.com’s forums – with some claiming they’ve eliminated using central heating altogether as a result of buying an Oodie.
‘In winter my house was about 17 degrees, got low as 14 degrees in evening, but with my Oodie on I didn’t feel it,’ wrote one MSE forum member.
Buy the Oodie for £59 (down from £84)
Another wrote: ‘Invested in an oversized hoodie blanket to snuggle up in, not used heating since!’
The Oodie is lined with Sherpa fleece and is made with a front kangaroo pocket – priced at £84 normally, the wearable blanket’s online shop is currently selling the classics at just £54 as part of an autumn sale.
If TikTok is anything to go by, the cocoon of cosiness is well worth the money – videos tagged with ‘Oodie’ have racked up an impressive 302.9 million views as people show off their cosy ‘game-changing’ purchases.
But what about for those who can’t afford the cost of the branded Oodie? Fortunately high street brands have jumped on the hype of the wearable hooded blanket and created their own budget versions.
Here’s some of the best cheap alternatives for the Oodie Metro.co.uk found:
