Pajama Materials

The purpose of pajamas is comfort. Pajama materials are selected for softness and luxury, and for how well they complement the loose fitting designs common with pajamas. The following pajama materials are the ones most often used to make men's pajamas, women's pajamas, and kid's pajamas alike.

Cotton

The advantages of cotton sleepwear are numerous. Cotton is inexpensive and versatile. Cotton pajamas are lightweight, warm, soft, and breathable, qualities perfectly suited to the purpose of pajamas. Cotton provides a naturally textured visual appearance that makes even nightgowns and sleep shirts look stylish.

Cotton sateen

Cotton sateen is a very soft and luxurious fabric. The weaving technique used to make cotton sateen places most of the threads on the surface of the sheeting, yielding a sleek, satin-like finish. This process gives cotton sateen pajamas the comfort of cotton with a heightened sense of style.

Polyester

Polyester was once a cheap and uncomfortable material, but today's polyester micro fibers and polyester blends rival for comfort. Still, the greatest advantages of polyester men's pajamas or women's pajamas are their strength and durability. Polyester nightgowns are warm and wrinkle-resistant, a great choice for curling up on cold winter nights.

Silk

No other pajama material can match the luxuriousness of silk. Silk pajamas feel loose and flowing, a joy to sink into after a long day at work. Silk is the leading material choice of men and women who value beauty and quality, even in their pajamas. Silk pajamas will cost a little more than other materials, but they also offer unmatched comfort and endurance.

Flannel

If warmth is what you want from your sleepwear, flannel pajamas are the classic choice. Flannel is a wool-based fabric, which means maximum warmth. Flannel pajamas are often made from a combination of wool with cotton or synthetic materials. Flannel also wears well, which is why flannel kid's pajamas or adult pajamas become even cozier with age.
