Don’t Sleep on These Cozy Pajamas for a Dreamy Night’s Sleep (2024)

The hype is real with these pajamas from Cozy Earth — yes, these are the ones that Oprah herself adores. Made from premium bamboo viscose that’s lightweight, breathable, and with just enough spandex for stretch, this soft menswear-inspired set looks flattering and feels amazing. In fact, they’re so comfortable, you might find yourself wanting to pack only these pajamas for your next trip.

The set comes in 10 different colors and patterns, from black to blush to rouge toile and celadon toile. We like that Cozy Earth has a wide range of sizes, including regular and tall and, while on the pricier end of our pajama list, you’ll find their durability and easy maintenance to be well worth the investment.

This button-down shirt and short set looks put together enough for a day out, but the ultra-soft feel of the linen will remind you that these are indeed pajamas made to relax in.

This stylish set comes in three colors: black, terracotta, and deep navy. The top fits loosely over the matching shorts that feature a comfortable elastic waistband — and, yes, there are pockets. The set is lightweight yet durable and is also hypoallergenic, so it’ll be gentle for those with sensitive skin.

We also love that these pajamas are sustainably made; European flax requires far less water and fertilizer to grow, plus it’s manufactured in Business Social Compliance Initiative-certified factories that aim to enhance working conditions.

It doesn’t get much more classic than this menswear-inspired sleep set. It’s made from soft, breathable modal with moisture-wicking ability. Even though it has long sleeves, you’ll stay cool and dry. It also has just enough spandex for a comfortable stretchy fit.

The button-down top features a chest patch pocket, and the legs are straight with a slight flair. These pajamas are super cozy for sleeping, but they’re also something you’ll want to pull on just to lounge around. We also like that it’s coordinated enough if you’re running down to the hotel lobby to grab a quick coffee or breakfast.

The Details: XXS-4XL | 91 percent modal, 9 percent spandex

Lounging pajamas or an outfit for a night out on the town? These are indeed pajamas, but they’re more than stylish enough to wear outside. The oversized short-sleeve top is designed with an on-trend high-low hem and a pocket, while the flowy pants feature side slits for even easier range of motion. This beautiful pair is made from 100 percent Mulberry silk that’s not only machine washable (check the care instructions), but temperature-regulating, too. While they’re on the pricier end, we think these pajamas are worth the splurge, especially if you’ve built some time in your travel schedule to lounge around in a shared space.

When it comes to staying warm and cozy on a chilly night, it doesn’t get much better than merino wool pajamas. These from Dagsmejan are created to be four times more breathable than regular wool, yet they’re 50 percent lighter. They’re twice as soft, too, so you’ll find yourself reaching for these again and again — that is, if you ever decide to take them off.

The top has a stylish cowl neck and over-thumb sleeves. The matching pants have soft cuffs at the ankle with a wide comfortable waistband. No one will realize that you’re actually wearing pajamas if you get on a Zoom call or run out for coffee, which is probably reason enough to want it in each of the nine available colors (ranging from dark gray to dusty pink).

The Details: XS-XXL | 100 percent traceable, mulesing-free Nativa merino wool

What happens when you combine a sustainable modal with a classic pajama design? You get a super soft and breathable pajama set that drapes like a dream and regulates temperature even if you tend to sleep hot.

The button-down top has a loose fit with slightly longer sleeves and features a notched collar and a chest pocket. The mid-rise boyfriend fit bottoms have a thin elastic waistband that stays in place without digging in while you sleep. The set comes in seven different colors, all with contrasting piping for a stylish look.

If you’re a hot sleeper who’s been avoiding cute long pajamas, this is your chance to get a similar style with shorts instead. The short-sleeve top and matching bottoms offer all the style of the classic PJs that top our list but with about half the fabric — which happens to be made from soft Tencel with plenty of stretch.

These pajamas come in a variety of different patterns and colors, from plain black with white piping to leopard print with black piping. If you’ve got room in your budget for a second pair, there’s likely plenty of room in your suitcase for them, too.

Pockets always come in handy, even in your pajamas. Need a place to hold your phone or warm your hands on a cool night?

You can choose from a variety of bright solid colors and fun patterns, plus they come in a pack of two making it an incredible value.

If you’re a hot sleeper, long-sleeve pajamas and pants might be a bridge too far for a comfortable night’s sleep. Not so with this set from GYS. The bamboo viscose keeps you warm on cooler nights, but is breathable enough for you to rest easy when the weather gets warmer.

The long roomy pants have an elastic waistband for comfort, and the satin-lined neck comes in a V-neck or scoop neck style. It’s the perfect set to pull on when it’s time to finally crawl into bed after hours of travel or exploring. The only hard part about these PJs is having to choose from more than three dozen different colors and patterns, though at this price, you might consider buying a second pair.

If you thought you had to retire your menswear-inspired pajamas at the end of winter, you’ll be thrilled to reach for this pair from Stars Above as the temperatures start to rise. It’s the very same type of button-down top with the notched color, but this time, it’s been given the short -sleeve treatment.

This two-piece set is made from a wonderfully soft yet lightweight modal with a touch of spandex for stretch. The top drapes nicely and the drawstring pants offer a roomy fit. They come in navy, heather gray, and rose pink, though at this budget-friendly price point, you might decide to get one in every color.

This pretty pajama set from Cool-Jams might indeed look cool enough on its own, but it’s got moisture-wicking features that will help you feel cool, too. The set is made from 100 percent quick-dry polymicrofiber that feels like soft cotton but dries up to four times faster. The V-neck tank top drapes beautifully, while the drawstring shorts (with pockets!) are roomy with a comfortable elastic waist.

These wrinkle-free pajamas come in four different colors:, black, navy, and two lovely shades of blue called island and dusty-peri. The set also has built-in odor protection, and natural anti-bacterial and anti-microbial features so you can pack this as your only pajamas when you’re traveling light.

When it comes to packing light, you can never go wrong with a breezy nightgown like this one. Much of Beyond Yoga’s attire is built for a comfortable range of motion, and that’s also true of this sleep dress. It's made from the brand’s popular Featherweight Spacedye fabric, which is both moisture-wicking and super lightweight. Plus, not only does the unbelievably soft material, comfortable side slits, and delicate straps allow you to enjoy a sleep that is cool and unencumbered, it can easily be paired with a cardigan and sandals and accompany you out to lunch alfresco. We also appreciate that this gown is available up to a size 4XL.

If you’re a hot sleeper, even pajama shorts can get in the way of a comfortable night’s sleep. That’s why we love this light-as-a-feather sleep shirt from Dagsmejan. Styled like your favorite oversized V-neck T-shirt, it’s made from body-temperature-regulating eucalyptus fibers that are twice as soft as cotton and eight times more breathable.

A touch of elastane/lycra gives this sleep shirt the right amount of stretch, while the flat seams and tagless design ensure a chafe-free sleep experience. Choose from seven colors and patterns, including coastal blue, lavender, and cherry blossom.

The Details: XS-2XL | Nattcool fabric: 92 percent Microlyocell from eucalyptus, 8 percent elastane/lycra

Silk pajamas that are beautiful and travel-friendly? Yes, you can get the best of both worlds with this lovely set from Silky Silky. Slipping into these to relax after a long day of travel or sightseeing will feel amazing, thanks to the roomy fit of the top and elastic waistband of the bottom.

You can even pack these as your only pair of pajamas for the road, as the 100 percent Mulberry silk can be hand washed and air dried for easy maintenance. The hardest part is choosing from over 10 beautiful shades like wine, coffee, and purple gray — all edged in coordinating piping.

There’s nothing like the feel of cotton against your skin when it’s time to unwind and get some rest, which is why we love this jogger-style set from The Company Store. The 100 percent Pima cotton is made in Peru and features a soft interlock knit that feels buttery soft as you sleep.

The roomy long-sleeve top has a scooped neckline and a high-low hem with just a touch of slouch. When paired with the pocketed jogger-style pants, the ensemble looks put together enough to wear while running out for errands — though we won’t blame you if you stay put and enjoy the comfortable warmth of these pajamas.

The Company Store has snagged a second spot on our list — this time for the men’s version of the Legends Luxury pajamas we love. This relaxed set is made from 100 percent Peruvian Pima cotton for an incredibly soft texture and drape. A short-sleeve crewneck tops the matching pair of joggers that feature a comfortable drawstring waist, functional button fly, and pockets.

These pajamas are machine washable, so they’re as easy to care for as they are to wear. This set comes in classic black or navy and is the perfect outfit for lounging around or running a quick errand.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How often should I wash pajamas?

  You might love the feel of a fresh set of pajamas every night at home, but you really can wear them two to three nights at a time. Assuming you are wearing your pajamas just for sleeping and aren’t a hot sleeper, you might even stretch that time between pajama washes when you’re traveling.

• What material is the most comfortable for pajamas?

  Comfort is very much a personal preference when it comes to clothing. But when it comes to pajamas, soft, breathable material is best with bonus points for moisture-wicking properties. Natural fabrics usually fit the bill with these features, so look for PJs made from cotton, modal, rayon, viscose, silk, and even linen. A touch of spandex added to any of these materials gives your pajamas a nice, stretchy fit for a comfortable night’s sleep.
