When it comes to sleep, comfort is queen, and in order to get comfy, you need to feel comfy in a pair of nice pajamas. “We sleep in our pajamas for hours on end, so it’s important to wear pajamas made from high-quality fabrics and ones that are comfortable and breathable,” says style expert Naina Singla.

In addition to function, Singla says there is also a self-care component to pajamas. “A nice set of pajamas will make you feel great, will set the mood for after work, and will help you reset for the evening,” she explains, noting that a nice pair can also leave you feeling pampered, too.

Shopping for pajamas starts with pajama brands, and some are superior to others. We researched dozens of pajama brands to find the best options for a variety of budgets and styles.

What to Know About Buying Pajamas

Return Policy

Whether you want pajamas for women, kids, or the family, you should choose a brand with a good return policy when shopping online so that you have enough time to try on the garments and decide whether or not you need to return or exchange them. For the most part, many brands offer a 30-day return policy; however, some might offer less or more than that.

Comfort

When picking a pajama brand, Jennifer Michalski-Bray, a celebrity fashion stylist, says comfort is key. “You have a comfy bed, a comfy pillow, comfy blankets, and you need to ensure you don’t miss a trick by not wearing comfy pajamas,” she notes. Michalski-Bray recommends looking for brands that make pajamas in natural fabrics — think cotton and linen — which ensure comfort and breathability, especially in the warmer summer months.

Versatility 

Shopping at a pajama brand that boasts plenty of versatility in its designs also matters, especially if you want to mix and match pajama sets and get more use out of them, says Singla. She recommends choosing a brand with a color palette that pairs well together, so you can easily mix and match pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best brand of pajamas?

You can’t go wrong with any of the pajama brands on our list. However, each one has its own unique loungewear and pajama offerings. For an eco-friendly brand that boasts a luxe feel, consider shopping for pajamas at Pact. If you prefer more versatility in style and budget, Target is always a good place to start. Skims is a go-to for its neutral, comfy designs, while P.J. Salvage offers lots of fun color and print variety.

Which pajamas are most comfortable?

When it comes to the most comfortable pajamas, Singla says it really depends on your personal preferences, “but silk or cotton will be most comfortable in terms of fabrics.” To determine which pajamas are most comfortable, Singla says to consider your environment, as this will help you decide which fabric choice is most appropriate. She also recommends looking at the overall size and fit of the pajamas. “In general, pajamas that are not too tight and not too loose will be most comfortable,” she explains.

What is the coolest pajama material?

If you’re shopping for cooling pajamas, Sapna Palep, the co-CEO of Journelle, says to “look for organic cotton for the cool, lightweight feel.” She notes that this material is great, especially in the summer, but it can also keep you comfortable during the winter months, too. “Organic cotton is grown without harmful chemicals and is allergen-free and non-irritating on your skin,” she explains, adding that it’s also super soft and lightweight.

What are the most breathable pajamas?

For a pair of pajamas with supreme breathability, Palep recommends modal. “Modal is often blended with other fibers like cotton, which adds durability and softness,” she explains. Palep also notes that modal is a great pick for pajamas because “the weave of the fabric is very breathable and absorbent.”
