Shoppers across the UK are rushing to get their hands on a cosy and affordable teddy fleece from high street giant Next, with many praising its ability to provide lasting warmth throughout the chilly winter days.
A Winter Wardrobe Essential for £32
The item causing the buzz is the Soft Touch Cosy Teddy Borg Quarter Zip Fleece, which retails for £32. Described by Next as the perfect autumnal layering staple, the fleece is made from 100% recycled polyester and boasts an ultra-soft touch finish. It has quickly become a popular pick on the retailer's website, attracting a high volume of positive customer feedback.
Six Stylish Designs to Choose From
The fleece isn't just practical; it comes in a variety of six distinct patterns and colours to suit different tastes. The available designs include:
- Black and ecru cow print
- Blue graphic winter scene
- Cherry red
- Chocolate brown and pink leopard print
- Pink floral print
- Pink and ecru check
This range ensures there is an option for everyone looking to add a touch of cosy style to their winter wardrobe.
Shoppers Declare It a 'Great Buy'
The product has earned an impressive 4.4-star rating on Next's website, with numerous reviews highlighting its comfort and warmth. One customer, named Jax, who purchased the fleece in November, said: "It is lovely and warm. A good length in the body... It washes well too."
Another shopper, Em, provided detailed praise, noting: "Really warm and cosy. I sized up so I could layer... This kept me warm all day! The fabric is super soft... Great buy." Similar sentiments were echoed by Sandy, who simply loved it for its "looks, warmth and cosiness", and Leigh, who was "over the moon" with the "cosy and flattering" fit.
However, the feedback wasn't universally perfect. One buyer reported that they found the fleece "very itchy inside" and different from the softness they had expected, indicating that individual sensitivity to the material may vary.
How It Compares to Other Retailers
While Next's offering is proving a hit, other high street and online retailers have similar products at various price points. For instance, Tesco's F&F sells an Active Outdoor Borg Textured Zip Up Jacket for £39.50, while Crew Clothing's version costs £69. For those on a tighter budget, H&M offers a Zip-Through Teddy Sweatshirt for just £17.99.
Next itself also sells a slightly different Teddy Borg Quarter Zip Fleece Sweatshirt for £42. The Soft Touch Cosy Teddy Borg Quarter Zip Fleece remains available for £32 directly from Next's website as of early January 2026.
