Are original oodies worth it or are the cheaper versions just as good?

Just that really 🤷🏼‍♀️

Are they warmer? Is the extra cost justified? …

It was the pictures that put me off original Oodies! 😂 I bought a Kudd.ly (as recommended by someone on MN). It’s cheaper than an Oodie but still not cheap. It’s very thick and warm.

I have a Kudd.ly too. Is lovely and thick and warm.

The cheaper ones don’t compare I’m afraid..I tried a few before getting a proper oodie. It’s so much heavier warm and thick. It’s the only thing that’s got me through this winter and the energy crisis, honestly, I think they are the best things ever!

We have the M&S ones. Plain fabric, huge, soft, too hot if anything, got for £10 in the sale.

We all have Comfys from Costco (www.costco.co.uk/Jewellery-Accessories-Clothing/Clothing/The-Comfy-Original-Wearable-Blanket-in-5-Colours/p/1281486). They are soft, fluffy, well made and super warm. It’s been a god send working from home. Even though I’m one of those people that is always cold, it’s too warm for me at anything above 15 degrees.

My sister has an original Oodie but bought Comfys for her DC this Christmas as she said she couldn’t tell the difference. I have felt the ones in Primark and a friend got one off Amazon (think it was the sienna?) and they do feel thinner and less soft than my Comfy.

Interstingly the Comfy is actually the original and has been out longer than the Oodie. They are pretty similar but the Comfy came first so isn't a fake Oodie.

I've got a primark one and haven't worn it yet, it is too bloody hot!

Interesting indeed, wasn’t aware so thanks for sharing.

So, is an Oodie a fake Comfy then?!😀

It makes zero difference to me either way, absolutely love the Comfy and is also more reasonably priced than the Oodie.
