Wearable hooded blankets are at the top of so many wish lists right now! These are the ultimate comfort item that also keeps you warm and snuggly during the colder months.
There are so many wearable hooded blankets to choose from at the moment that it leaves you wondering if you need to pay the high-end price or if a cheaper version will do.
With heating prices on the rise no wonder, these hooded blankets are having their moment!
A wearable blanket is ideal for lounging around in or when working from home. However, come the summer and camping trips they are also ideal for sitting outside in the evening once the sun has gone down. Before I got my Oodie I always had a blanket on my lap when I was in front of the TV or just chilling out scrolling social media.
However, whenever I got up to make a cup of tea or get something from another room I would end up cold. The wearable hooded blanket solves this problem and has proved itself to be an all year round comfort that I wouldn’t be without.
How to Wear a Wearable Hooded Blanket
Hooded blankets are worn like a jumper, they are mostly long-sleeved and long in length coming down past the knees. They are cuffed at the wrist which stops them from dragging into everything and ensures your hands are accessible when carrying drinks or reading.
The snuggly wearable blanket can come in a variety of colours and are unisex in design. The blankets are made from different materials with the more expensive ones being thicker (and ultimately warmer) and tend to have a sherpa lining.
The sizing is a one size fits all making them ideal for teens and adults alike.
I much prefer a sherpa hooded blanket to a traditional dressing gown due to the design which always left bits of me cold or with belt coming undone. A snuggly hooded blanket overcomes these design issues.
Guide to Buying a Hooded Blanket
Buying a wearable blanket when there are so many to choose from can be overwhelming. However, there are a few things to look for and will also determine the difference between the more expensive brands and their lesser-known counterparts.
Firstly does it have pockets? Teens especially appreciate a pocket in their hooded blanket as they will want somewhere to store their phone!
Check the length if you are buying it for a younger tween then a kids wearable blanket may be a better option than an adults size. Although my 12 year old who is 5ft happily lives in her one sized Bedsure one.
Most of the hooded blankets are machine washable too which is good to know!
Which Hooded Blanket is Best?
The Oodie
If you want to know which hooded blanket is best then you will find a great round-up below. We have included popular brands like Oodie and Kuddly and the lesser-known brands from Bedsure and Silent Night.The Oodie – this is probably the blanket hoodie your teenager has asked for but Oodie is a brand name for wearable hooded blanket. The Oodie has been well marketed on Facebook and Tik Tok which is why it is so popular with teenagers. The Oodie is an ultra-soft flannel fleece paired with warm sherpa fleece so you don’t have to worry about the cold.
The Oodie comes beautifully packaged in its own bag and comes in a range of colours and designs. The Oodie also has some of the best designs in my opinion. The licensed hoodies include ever-popular Harry Potter, Loony Tunes Rick and Morty and Friends.
The Oodie costs about £89 but they do family packs which are brilliant value, you can of course then split them up for presents, for example, currently, you can get 4 for £202 making them £50.50 each.
Another good thing about the Oodie is that they have now introduced kids sizes.
There have been some concerns about how long delivery can take with the Oodie however my two arrived within 4 days which is a great turnaround.
Kudd.ly
The Kudd.ly is a UK brand and again comes in a range of colours. The Kuddly is probably the Oodies biggest competition and we can see why. They cost approximately £59-£69 so a little cheaper than their popular counterpart.
The Kuddly has a smaller range but the quality is second to none. They are made from a Breathable MicroCool™ teddy fleece exterior and they have a soft plush and cosy sherpa fleece interior. They are also a one size fits all, so maybe not as great for younger tweens. The Kuddly also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. I am 5ft 3 and this one comes down to my knees, making it a great fit.
Sienna Hoodie Blanket
The Sienna hooded blanket has taken the UK by storm because it is less than half the price of the well known branded ones but delivers on quality just the same. The Sienna is priced at under £25 and is available on Amazon. This wearable blanket is a number 1 seller on Amazon and has almost 16000 ratings with 80% giving it the full five stars.
Buying the Sienna Hoodie with Prime also means a quick and fast next day delivery which is ideal. Made with a luxury microfibre outside with elasticated cuffs, and a soft sherpa inside and on the lining of the hood, for additional comfort whilst resting there is no surprise it has been such a hit. The Sienna is also ideal for teen boys and men as it comes in grey too.
The Sienna is machine washable at 30°C, which can be perfect for any spills or accidents.

Bedsure Wearable Blanket
Amazon also has the Bedsure Hoodie which my 12-year-old has. She adores it and has barely taken it off since she was gifted it by a friend for her recent birthday. As soon as she is home from school she pops it on! This is great for her size. The hooded blanket combines 300gsm microfiber shaggy sherpa for a softer and comfier texture, excluding non-shedding characteristics. Again the reviews on this one are excellent with 86% giving it 5 stars. It has a giant front pocket ideal for phones! Whilst this value hoodie is not as thick as the Oodie or Kuddly it does the job. It keeps you warm and cosy when lounging about.
Bedsure with Zipper
The Bedsure wearable blanket is a slightly different design, rather than a pullover this one is a zipped version which is excellent for many people. Made of 300 gsm premium shaggy sherpa fabric, the snuggle blanket displays an unparalleled softness to the touch.
This Bedsure design has two deep pockets and costs £24.99 and again is available with prime delivery – you can buy by clicking this link.
