As the weather gets colder, many of us are looking for ways to stay warm without cranking up the heating. M&S's £20 Oodie-style 'snuggly' hooded blanket is a hit with shoppers who say it's so cosy they're 'turning their heating off'.

Oodie's hooded blankets are a popular choice this winter, but cost £49 for an adult size. Luckily, M&S has a fantastic dupe that shoppers say is 'just as good' and helps them save on heating bills.

The Teddy Fleece Hooded Blanket starts from just £19.50 and comes in three sizes and five colours. It's super soft inside and out, and like the Oodie, it has a large kangaroo pocket – perfect for warming your hands or storing snacks for a Netflix binge.

Shoppers love it, with many leaving five-star reviews. They've called it a 'game changer for this cold winter' and a great alternative to turning on the heating.

One happy customer shared: "It is so toasty and gives you the freedom to move from room to room without losing heat. Means I don't need to have heating on unnecessarily."

Another said: "It is so warm and cosy and has saved me using the heating so it has been worth every penny."

A third wrote: "These are actually very warm and cosy. We haven't bothered with the heating at all."

However, not everyone was completely satisfied. Some shoppers wished the hooded blanket was thicker, saying it 'still allows cold air in.'

If you're willing to spend a bit more, we suggest going for an Oodie. They're known for their top-notch quality and ability to keep you warm. Plus, they're currently on sale for £49, down from £89, so it's a great chance to get one for less or grab an early Christmas present for that person in your life who's always chilly.
