With a cold snap incoming and hooded blankets increasingly a winter staple for many of us, whether that's wearing them or giving them as gifts, it's no wonder that brands have cut the prices of some of the best-selling versions of the snuggly staples in time for Christmas.

While the best discounts for Oodies this year were part of their huge Black Friday sale, shoppers keen on the brand name can still save up to £50 on key styles, fans of Kuddly can get up to 67% off right now with the code XMAS23 and more budget friendly versions of the now-iconic hooded blankets are down to as little as £7 on Online Home Store.

But bargain hunters have found a way to pick up Silentnight's Oversize Fleece Hoodie in a range of colours totally free, by stacking several money saving deals together. The hoodies have been reduced to half price by Very as part of their Black Friday discounts and are currently available in charcoal, navy or a pastel blush pink for £15.

While compared to some of the bigger name hooded blanket brands this is already a good deal, shoppers signing up as a new member to deals site TopCashback can claim a £15 sign-up bonus on their purchase - effectively getting back the total cost of the item.

Shoppers have given the best-selling hoodies ratings of 4.8, 4.4 and 4.9 stars out of 5 respectively and praise the oversized blankets for its softness and warmth as well as the elasticated sleeves and long length that make it both comfortable and cosy.

One shopper commented: "I bought a grey one for my husband for Christmas and then had to get one for myself. Its like a giant, warm hug - and I love it because I can still read and hold a cup of tea and stay snuggly warm."

Another added: "I bought one of these for the lady in my life last year and she loves it so much I got her another in a different colour. This is much thicker than cheaper alternatives, but it's definitely worth the extra money. It washes well and doesn't lose its shape. I definitely recommend this item."

Another shopper however raised a word of warning about the blue option available, saying: "Unfortunately, after raving about my blush SilentNight Snugsie hoodie to anyone who would listen; My family went onto purchase some and both purchased the navy colour snugsie which was shockingly poor in quality and extremely thin almost as though it had been produced by another company altogether, the navy one looks absolutely nothing like the photos online or like my blush snugsie so this has been very disappointing after giving my recommendations to everyone on how great the product I bought was.

"However, I am extremely pleased with my blush one and would recommend this exact one to anyone looking to keep snug and warm during chilly nights or days."

Very's Black Friday sale runs until Thursday (November 30) so shoppers need to act quickly to snag their Snugsie.
