How to Buy Women's Sleepwear

A good nights’ sleep is the best ingredient for a healthy, active and stress-free life. What you wear to sleep can make all the difference between waking up refreshed and feeling drained in the morning. Read on for some basics you need to keep in mind when choosing sleepwear.

Types of Women's Sleepwear

There are many different types of women's lingerie intended as sleepwear. Make sure to pick the pjs that are best for your personal style and comfort.

Pajamas

Whether you choose pajamas with shorts or long pants, a pull over shirt or a button-up, pajamas are the most classic of sleepwear styles. Remember that collars, buttons and other features can interfere with comfort since they can press against you while you are sleeping. Pajamas, also known as pjs, come in a variety of fabrics and styles to suit virtually anyone.

Nightgowns

Nightgowns are commonly associated with two styles: the sexy negligee and the flannel granny. However, nightgowns are available in a full range of options between those polar opposites.

Sleep Shirts

Many nightshirts, also called sleep shirts, are essentially oversized t-shirts. They are comfortable because they are usually of soft, breathable knits that let you sleep in comfort. Some lingerie makers also make satin or silk sleepshirts that use the classic oversized shirt style with more elegant fabrics and styling.

Non-Sleepwear to Sleep In

Some of the most popular options for women's sleepwear are not actually sleepwear at all. Women around the world like to sleep in their underwear, in oversized t-shirts and men's boxer shorts or in other lingerie such as slips. Tank tops are another common sleep shirt option. Other women prefer to spend the night in men's pajamas.

Tips for Buying Women’s Sleepwear

1. Consider your sleepwear fabric. You can choose sleepwear made from cotton, polyester, nylon, silk, and rayon as well as blends made from combinations of these. Cotton is generally the most comfortable material since it allows your body to breathe. Some people prefer silk for its sensuous feel, and its natural fibers also allow the skin to breathe. Nylon and thermal synthetics work well in colder climates since they tend to keep body heat in. In general, lightweight cotton weaves are the coolest, cotton flannel is a little warmer and synthetics such as polyester are the warmest.

1. Loose fitting sleepwear is the most comfortable since it does not bind or constrain. In addition, look for sleepwear that has either no seams or minimal seams since they can be irritating to the skin. Try to avoid pockets, flaps and add-ons that may get stuck or irritate you in some other manner in your sleep; it is best to choose a simple design with as few embellishments as possible.

1. Pick pjs to fit your sleep style. Do you like to sleep in a cold, well-ventilated room? You may need sleepwear that keeps you cozy and warm. On the other hand, if you are always warm and kicking off your covers, look for loose fitting, lightweight cotton nighties that do not constrain or bind. Remember that comfort is the most important factor; you can purchase lingerie and loungewear for their looks, but you should sleep in something that is all about relaxation.
