B&M is selling Ladies Thermal Brushed Leggings in black for £7, offering a budget-friendly alternative to Marks and Spencer's (M&S) £22 Heatgen Maximum Thermal Fleece Leggings. The leggings come in sizes from small to extra-large and have a tog rating of 1.8.
Warmth and comfort features
B&M says the leggings "ensure your legs retain maximum heat and stay insulated through the day." The retailer adds: "These Ladies Thermal Brushed Leggings are thermally insulated with a 1.8 tog rating and have a plush inner lining for a super cosy feel. The perfect leggings for wintertime, turn down the heating to save on energy and cut costs."
The leggings "stretch for extra snugness and keep you ultra warm," according to B&M. They are only available in B&M stores, so shoppers need to visit their local branch or use the B&M postcode tool to find the nearest store with stock.
Comparison with M&S pair
The M&S version costs £22 and comes in black or brown, with multiple sizes. M&S says: "These thermal leggings offer maximum warmth with our innovative Heatgen technology that effectively traps body heat when temperatures drop. The soft fleece lining provides a luxuriously cosy feel against the skin, while the stretchy fabric ensures a comfortable fit that moves with you throughout the day. The clean, streamlined design makes these leggings perfect for layering or wearing alone during colder months."
Both products share a similar design goal: trapping body heat during cold months. Each features an ultra-soft inner lining—brushed fabric for B&M and fleece for M&S—and a high-stretch fabric blend for everyday movement. They can be worn standalone or layered under trousers.
Price difference and availability
The main difference is the price. The M&S pair retails higher due to its proprietary fabric technology, while B&M offers a lower-cost option with similar insulation. The M&S leggings have an average customer rating of 4.7 stars out of five, based on 1.2k reviews. Shoppers can browse more women's winter accessories online or buy in-store at B&M.
