Seasonal Sleepwear Guide: The Best Pajamas for Every Season
When searching for the best pajamas for every season, there are a few factors to consider to ensure comfort no matter the weather outside. From important qualities to consider to the best material for winter, summer, spring, and fall pajamas, our guide covers everything you need to know to find seasonal sleepwear for every time of year.
How to Choose the Most Comfortable Pajamas
Whether you are shopping for breezy summer sleepwear or cozy PJs for the holidays, there are four key factors that influence overall comfort. Pay attention to these features to help you choose:
- Breathability: Breathable fabrics allow air and moisture to escape from beneath the fabric, preventing you from overheating or getting too sweaty—which is equally important whether you’re snuggled up beneath several bedding layers or trying to stay cooler on extra-hot summer nights.
- Temperature Control: Fabrics with temperature-regulating properties include linen, TENCEL™ Modal, and viscose made from bamboo. These materials help keep you warm when it’s cool and cool when it’s warm, helping you stay comfortable no matter the weather.
- Feel: No one wants stiff, scratchy sleepwear. Pajamas made of natural fibers or blends, including cotton, linen, TENCEL™ Modal, and viscose made from bamboo, will be softer—and last longer—than synthetic or polyester options. Natural fibers also support breathability and temperature regulation, so it’s a win/win/win.
- Fit: Snug-fitting silhouettes, which trap air close to your body, are warmer than loose-fitting or relaxed pajama styles that provide plenty of room to breathe. Save snug pajamas for winter and reach for the breezy styles for hot summer months.
