M&S is winning over customers with a “perfect” dressing gown that’s received over 1,000 5-star ratings. Available for £29.50, the M&S Collection’s Fleece Hooded Dressing Gown, typically available in grey,rouge, and mushroom, is flying off the shelves. While some colours and sizes are currently sold out online, the chic grey version remains up for grabs in sizes XS to XL. The dressing gown’s popularity isn’t surprising given its impressive track record; it boasts over 1,000 five-star reviews and an average rating of 4.6 out of 5.

One satisfied customer remarked: “Bought as a present and she loved it: it is fluffy and warm and perfect for this miserable January weather – a hug in a robe.” Echoing the sentiment, another reviewer said: “So soft, thick and warm, but lightweight, just like being cuddled by a teddy bear! I thoroughly recommend.”

A third happy buyer commented: “Love this fleece dressing gown. It’s so cuddly, especially on a cold day, it’s lovely to snuggle into. It’s been washed and it’s still so cuddly,” reports the Mirror. Another added praise, writing: “So soft and warm. To be honest never want to take it off. Good quality and value for money,” while someone else shared: “Most amazing dressing gown I have ever owned, washed great, so soft and keeps you so warm!”

However, not all feedback was glowing. One customer wrote: “Lovely and warm dressing gown but gosh does it shed. I’ve had fluff everywhere and had to lint roll everything to get them out. I’m currently trying to wash and rewash the gown and all.”

A second added: “It’s shedding lots of fluffy bits. I will have to wash it before I use and hope that it doesn’t block up my washing machine!” Offering mixed feedback, a different commenter claimed: “I was very disappointed when I took the gown out of its parcel bag, quality is not MS standard – however, I decided to keep it and I take my words back: it’s like having an electric blanket wrapped around you.”
