Shoppers are so pleased they ‘don’t need the heating on’ when wearing this affordable blanket that comes in two colour choices
Dunelm shoppers have plenty of choice when it comes to staying warm this winter. Most love nothing more than cuddling up on the sofa in a soft blanket.
The Velvet Oversized Hoodie with Fur Lining, which costs £25, might be an ideal choice if you’re looking to bag a last minute Christmas present too. It comes in two colour choices – deep navy blue or soft pink – and each version has a soft fleece outer layer with added fur lining underneath.
This one-size item offers people the “perfect blend of warmth and opulence”. The hoodie pairs nicely with your favourite relaxed bottoms and fluffy socks for the ultimate cosy night in.

Shoppers would be forgiven if they mixed the cheaper Dunelm version up with this more expensive version by Oodie. Currently reduced to £32.50, the Lapis Blue Oodie Original normally sells for £65 and looks virtually identical at a glance.
It has a nearly flawless rating on the retailer’s website with 4.9 out of 5 stars, showing just how loved this item is. One shopper said: “Lovely warm hoodie. I don’t need the heating on when worn, finished to a high standard and a nice navy blue colour.”
Another admitted: “This was bought as a birthday present for a friend. It is very soft and cuddly. I tried it before giving it and I’m going to ask for one this Christmas for myself!”
A third added: “Extra warm and snuggly. Don’t want to take it off!” Someone else wrote: “Love these velvet hoodies. I have both colours and wish they did more!”
But, not every shopper had the best experience. Whilst no ratings went below three stars, some unimpressed buyers found minor issues.
One claimed: “I loved the velvety fabric, the fact it came right down to my knees so kept the top of my legs warm. It even has a pocket to warm your hands. Nice teddy fabric on the inside too. Would make a warm layer when working from home.
“However, I sent it back because it was just too big. It looked like a big shapeless dress and I felt really unattractive in it, so much that I actually felt embarrassed answering the door in it!”
Another added: “I am not as sold on this as others. I bought thinking it was a double layer. It isn’t. It is a single piece of fabric that is smooth one side and fluffy looking the other side. Not as warm or thick as I thought it was going to be.”
There are plenty of similar items on sale elsewhere. For example, on Amazon, you can snap up a HOMELY Hooded Blanket with Ultra Soft Sherpa Lining. It comes in multiple different colours and starts from £12.95. Elsewhere, you could try this M&S Supersoft Faux Fur Hooded Blanket for £35 which also has a few different colour options to pick from.
