The cosy hooded blanket you need for winter: 'Feels like you're wearing a cloud'
When the cold weather hits, there are few things more comforting than putting on your cosiest jumper and curling up on the sofa.
Well, there is *one* other thing... John Lewis's Oversized Lounge Hoodie.
Like your favourite jumper and cosiest blanket combined, it's the perfect buy to nab ahead of temperatures dropping this upcoming winter.
Not just that, it'll save you having to switch your heating on at the earliest convenience. Pretty tempting, if you ask us.
Perfect for when you feel the cold air settling in, this thermal fleece hoodie offers an oversized fit, with a snug hooded neckline, cuffed sleeves and giant front pocket.
Back again and now available in two additional colours: pink and green, the loungewear item has been described by shoppers as "so snuggly", with one shopper even saying it's "like being hugged by a teddy bear".
Claiming to offer the "perfect snuggly layer to keep cosy during the cooler months", this is a purchase you don't want to miss out on.
Why we rate it
The thick, oversized hoodie is made from thermal fleece — hence its super-soft, luxurious feel.
The loose-fitting hood is perfect for when you really want to bury yourself in its comforting warmth and hide away from the world. While the oversized fit is the perfect shape for submerging yourself in the hoodie's comfort.
The long sleeves are elasticated; a nice touch if you're the type of person who always ends up dragging the long, loose sleeves of your dressing gown in your food and washing up water (just us?).
There's even a gigantic front pocket, too, great for slipping your hands into to keep warm while watching telly, or popping your phone away if you're moving from room to room.
Available now for just £38, we recommend snapping one up as soon as you can.
What the reviews say
Some very happy shoppers have waxed lyrical about everything from how warm it is, to the bliss-inducing feel of it.
"This is so soft and fluffy, it feels like you're wearing a cloud. Has kept me warm even on the chilliest night."
"Absolutely love this lounge hoodie, the elastic wrist cuffs are great for keeping the cold out. The hood is a bonus too especially when popping out quickly to the car or to empty bins. Comfy, warm & stylish; so much so purchased one for my daughter!"
"Very soft, very cosy. With the hood up it's like being hugged by a teddy bear. Hugely oversized (esp on my 5'2 frame) but that adds to the cosiness, and more importantly leaves room for multiple layers underneath which is definitely helpful during this cold snap!"
"This is my go-to when working from home and I would rather not put the central heating on. Washes really well, too."

Onesies aren't just for Christmas – they're great for lazy weekends at home at any time during the winter. And this one (which is also available in pink and blue in sizes from XS-L), is made from the softest fleece, while the hood is lined with faux fur.
Many shoppers commented that they'll be donning this throughout winter to save on heating bills. "This is roomy, so warm, soft and cosy. No heating required when you're wearing this. Washes well. So good I bought the pink one as well so my husband could have my grey one! Good value and a must have item if you're looking to save on bills this winter," commented one customer.
