Oodie's blankets however do cost quite a bit with their plain black oversized hoodie selling for £84. It's currently on sale for £54 - however that's still quite high - especially when you compare it to Costco's version.

Their wearable blanket usually retails for £29.89 however according to one shopper as the winter season is ending, now is your chance to grab the bargain as they're only £4.76.

On their website they write the description: "From America's Shark Tank to a worldwide craze, The Comfy OriginalTM is the original wearable blanket that is sweeping the nation by storm. Being modelled after a 5XL sweatshirt and taking on a “Comfy size” of its own, The Comfy® is the new way to stay warm in the home or on the go. While it’s perfect for lounging around and curling up on the couch, it’s also great for staying cosy at a sporting event, a camping trip, a chilly cinema, a cool evening on the patio, the possibilities for ultimate comfort are endless."

One review reads: "Bought this for my daughter. She loves it. It's so warm and cosy especially with the weather we have had recently. She loves the huge size and the comfy hood and large front pocket. She has the animal print design and loves it. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase."

Another says: "Aptly named. So pleased with this purchase, I ordered 2 straightaway as I know they sell out so quickly. Perfect for just about everything, watching tv, working from home, putting wheelie bins out, popping to shops etc, etc. Wearing this you can even turn your heating down a bit too."

A third review reads: "I tried to get one of these last year but they sold out so quickly I missed out, so when I saw it this time I ordered 2 straightaway. The name says it all, really comfy and warm. So much better than wrapping yourself in a throw which you then have to take off and leave behind when you get up to make a cup of tea or answer the door etc. Great also to put on when taking out the wheelie bins etc. Excellent for anyone who feels the cold or is sensitive to draughty rooms. Great price and was delivered quickly."
