Wearable fleece blanket will be your 'best purchase of the year'

The best part is, the snuggly hooded sweatshirt is now just £12 in the Amazon Big Deals day sale

Looking to keep warm this winter, but not quite ready to resort to turning the heating on yet? Amazon has you covered with this snuggly, wearable hooded fleece blanket - which is now available for just £12 in the Big Deals day sales.

The True Face Unisex Oversized Blanket Hoodie is made from 100 per cent soft polyester material, with a warm, cosy Sherpa fleece lining, long sleeves, and a large hood, ensuring you are kept nice and toasty almost from head to toe.

It also features a large, kangaroo-style pocket in the front, which can easily store your phone, snacks, or a TV remote, or simply just keep your hands warm while you wear it.

The plush fleece hoodie is ideal for wearing around the house, whilst taking a nap, and also whilst travelling or during outdoor camping trips. It is machine washable up to 30°C with similar colours, and promises to always stay the same after each wash, with no ironing required.

Affordable online retailer, True Face, usually sell their Blanket Hoodies for just £15.99 - but now, for a limited time only as part of Amazon's Big Deals day, they have slashed prices even further, to as little as £11.99.

The best part is, many who have purchased the True Face Blanket Hoodie agree that the quality matches the "real deal" Oodie brand, which retail at up to £65. In fact, some shoppers have speculated whether True Face are, in fact, selling genuine old Oodie stock, but at a fraction of the price.

The True Face Blanket Hoodie comes in a range of fun and colourful designs, including this sweet cartoon reindeer pattern, which is currently 25 per cent off at just £11.99, and is the perfect buy with the festive season approaching.

The garment boasts a 4.6-star rating out of five stars on Amazon, with almost 200 reviews.

One happy customer called it their "best purchase of the year", writing: "After trying many others and finding they were thin, getting holes easily, didn’t fit well, I got this and I gotta say it’s perfect! Thick, fluffy and warm, no sign or wear and tear, and has helped me through the cold nights away at a caravan next to the sea."

Another added: "Ordered the Star Wars printed one as I’m a huge fan. Absolutely love it, it’s great quality and so cosy. Perfect for a chilly home. Husband loves it so much I need to order another one! Definitely buy."

And a third simply added: "There is nothing bad I can say about this. Everyone should buy one."

However, a few buyers noted that the Blanket Hoodie arrived with an "odd smell" - although one wrote: "It arrived smelling like it had been stored in a damp shed, but after a quick wash it was fresh and good as new."

And another agreed: "Bought about six as family presents at Christmas, I highly recommend, fantastic quality. A few had an odd smell but a spin in the wash wont hurt."

Meanwhile, if you are after the real deal, genuine Oodie, the brand have a sale on their original range at the moment, with a number of items slashed by up to 30 per cent, from £65 to just £45.50. You can shop the sale items here.
