KNOWN for their plush, oversized designs, Oodie hooded blankets have become the go-to winter essential to stay snug as the temperature drops.
The viral brand is selling classic Oodie styles for just £35 to tease shoppers ahead of Black Friday and it’s the ideal time for stocking up on Christmas gifts for friends and family.
Oodie styles from £39
The sale features plenty of classic Oodies and limited-edition Harry Potter, Sesame Street and Star Wars designs.
If you haven’t yet experienced the magic of an Oodie, you might be wondering why everyone is going wild for them.
First off, the ultra-soft flannel fleece exterior and warm sherpa-fleece lining make them the ultimate essential for cosy comfort.
The oversized design means you can practically live in them during the colder months – whether working from home or binging your favourite TV series on the sofa – and they are handy for staying warm without needing to put your heating on.
If you have little ones, the brand has plenty of kids’ Oodie designs on sale and many styles are slashed to £24, meaning the whole family can be decked out in the oversized hooded blankets for winter.
Shoppers can also find impressive discounts on pyjamas, sleep tees and blankets in the sale deals as the brand gears up to the biggest sale of the year: Black Friday.
Oodie Review: Kieran Ahuja reveals whether Oodies are worth it…
Oodie’s Hooded Blankets have been hugely popular, Kieran Ahuja weighs in on whether they are worth the hype.
Pros:
Incredibly warm
Great selection of designs
Almost the definition of cosy
Could save you money on your heating
Cons:
Not cheap for something that you probably shouldn’t wear out of the house
Slightly difficult to store
Can get a bit too warm
Rating: 5/5
My first encounter with Oodie actually happened a while before I got one; my girlfriend has one, and I’ll be honest, I ridiculed her for it. So it was not with an entirely open mind that I received my Oodie.
At first, I treated the Oodie a little bit like a bad habit, only wearing it when I knew I wouldn’t be caught, sneaking around, fluff-clad, in the dead of night.
However, before long, I was wearing it on work calls, answering the door in it, and generally going about my daily business without a care in the world.
I was wowed by how warm, cosy and high-quality my Oodie was, and I haven’t once felt cold since I got mine — putting the heating on hasn’t even crossed my mind.
Since I got mine, I’ve encouraged plenty of friends and family to get one.
To make buying an Oodie worth it, I think you need to grab one in a sale, and wearing it admittedly takes a bit of self-deprecation.

What is an Oodie?
An Oodie is a wearable hooded blanket made from high-quality, cruelty-free material, with soft flannel fleece on the outside and warm sherpa fleece on the inside.
This warm and cosy hooded blanket is one-size-fits-most as it’s oversized, based on a 6XL hoodie.
Oodies can be pretty pricey, but the bundle sets are good value, and the current deals make many of the designs much more affordable.
Official Oodies are only sold from theoodie.co.uk, but there are many other brands of hooded blankets and imitation Oodies on the market.
What are Oodies made of?
Oodies received top marks when it comes to comfort and warmth — as well as excellent quality and durability — meaning that it should be an investment item that will last.
Oodies are made from warm flannel fleece on the outside and super soft Sherpa fleece on the inside.
They are vegan and cruelty-free and can be machine-washed at a low temperature.
Plus, if you feel the cold, or want to avoid whacking up the heating with the winter months looming, the Oodie hoodie, dressing gown or plush socks, are bound to keep you warm and save you more instead of high electricity bills.
Can you sleep with an Oodie on?
This is really one of those questions where it’s entirely up to you – so if you want to, go for it!
Oodie is designed to be an oversized and cosy wearable blanket, providing warmth and comfort ‘for movie nights, snuggles, and gaming marathons’.
They’re not specifically billed as being for sleep, but with their thick fleece material, some fans find them ideal for getting some shut-eye in colder environments, thanks to the snug, cocoon-like feel.
However, others find them too bulky and restrictive for sleeping in, so it really does come down to personal preference.
If in doubt, check out Oodie’s range of sleepwear, where you’ll find sleep tees, dressing gowns and pyjamas – all of which are perfect for bed.
What is similar to an Oodie?
There are loads of hooded blankets and oversized hoodies available that are similar to the Oodie in both material and size.
They come in a variety of patterns and designs for adults and kids, but from what we’ve seen Oodie still offers the biggest selection.
The Oodie range features printed designs emblazoned with cute animals, foods, cartoon characters and film icons.
But you can get plain colours if you prefer an understated look.
Many competitor products look the same, some are longer, and some have zips up the front; you can even buy a hooded blanket for your dog.
What does Oodie stand for?
In this context, we think Oodie comes from the word hoodie, as it’s a combination of a blanket and an oversized hoodie.
It’s not yet in the dictionary with this meaning, but it’s only a matter of time before it is.
Is Oodie the same as a Snuddie?
The Snuddie is Primark’s version of the Oodie, and it has gone down a storm with shoppers.
The snuggly Snuddie comes in a range of designs and the prices start from £17.
Primark has launched several different collections including a Disney
It looks similar to the original Oodie design and is considered a very affordable dupe.
Who owns Oodie UK?
Oodie was founded by Australian Davie Fogarty in his home city of Adelaide.
The company is still headquartered there, and its customer service team is also based there.
Oodie uses UK fulfilment centres to send out orders, so you don’t have to wait for your Oodie to wing its way from Oz.
