Pajama Roundup Bed rotting season is back, and you know the drill. It’s time to pull out your favorite stay-at-home uniform — the best women’s pajama sets.
We haven’t met a single person who doesn’t like to receive a new PJ set. Like, ever. You also can’t go wrong with a pair of joggers or a sultry nightgown (whichever is more your style.)
Whether you want to pick up a quality pair for yourself or are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, our exclusive edit is designed for every woman, budget, and style preference.
Even if you’re more into loungewear or knock-around linens, it’s never the wrong time to snag a new pajama set, especially if you have the pleasure of still working from home. We included a bounty of options from top retailers, including Gap, Amazon, Cozy Earth and eberjey.
Meet one of Oprah’s Favorite Things: Cozy Earth, the brand that’s known for its marshmallow-soft, luxury-grade fabrics and adoring fit. Namely, its Short-Sleeve Stretch-Knit Bamboo Pajama Set is a worthwhile investment, much ado to its lovely shades, quality bamboo viscose material (that helps prevent night sweats), and drape-style silhouette that we can’t help but love.

Miska Salemann “The Cozy Earth bamboo viscose is unmatched,” stated Commerce Reporter, Miska Salemann. “I have the longer pants and top set, and as someone who runs hot at night, I can confirm that these pajamas knocked their temperature-regulating properties out of the park. I rarely get a night sweat. I also love the fact that Cozy Earth regularly comes out with new colorways, so you can always surprise up your bedtime style. While the fabric does exhibit a bit of wrinkling after a few wears, it washes beautifully. “

Leave it to Kim Kardashian to give us pajamas we can’t be without. The SKIMS Sleep Set is made with soft modal ribbed fabric, offers a slouchy, cool look and makes us want to lounge all day in them. More than a 1,000 shoppers have given the PJs a five-star rating and regardless if you’re a fan of the reality star turned business mogul, we 100% approve of her fashion offerings. Our very own Commerce Reporter, Emma Sutton-Williams, who owns the brand’s pajamas, describes them as “unbelievably comfortable.”

But listen, sometimes I want to feel hot while I’m watching TV, enjoying another night on the town from my couch, or cooking dinner while singing ‘Kill Bill’ with a smile on my face. It’s a mood that isn’t just cute but with material that’s smooth as butter, like a second skin,” she shared.

The Washable Silk Pajama Tank and matching Shorts are our latest obsession. Designed with a breezy, relaxed fit, these pieces transition effortlessly from a deep sleep to a slow morning on the sofa.
Quince continues to redefine affordable luxury by stripping away the high price tags and the hassle of dry cleaning. Because these are 100% machine-washable, you get the indulgence of real silk without the high-maintenance upkeep. Our deputy commerce editor took this set for a test drive.
New York Post Review: “I’ve recently become a Quince fan (my bedding and fall wardrobe is mainly from there), so I was eager to test out its 100% Washable Silk Pajamas and matching top. I’m not a hot sleeper, so I don’t need silk pajamas to keep cool. However, I think silk is one of the most luxurious materials and I’m entering my luxury era. Both the top and bottom are lightweight without feeling flimsy and feel velvety soft against my skin. The shorts, which I ordered in extra small, run a little big but are still comfortable, and I like that they’re not too short. They do come out of the package a bit wrinkly and staticky, but a pass with the iron helps. They didn’t bunch up while I slept — another bonus.” — Holly J Coley, deputy commerce editor

Typically, I’ll just throw on an oversized t-shirt and raggedy sweatpants,” admitted Commerce Reporter, Miska Salemann. “These silk PJs from Lunya have actually changed my life. I feel like I’m sleeping better, staying cooler at night, my skin feels softer, and I don’t look like such a bum around the house. Best of all, these are machine-washable, which is a must in my house with a dog and toddler wreaking havoc.”

Worn by celebs like Selena Gomez and Jennifer Lopez, Eberjey is the poster brand for feel-good, comfy pajamas. The sets are divine, come in color and trim options for everyone, and make an exceptional gift.

Victoria Giardinia “The eberjey Gisele Tencel Modal Long PJ Set is an exceptionally luxe PJ set, and breathable at the same time,” said Commerce Reporter and Content Strategist, Victoria Giardinia, who has the long sleeve version of the pajamas set. “I always bring it with me on weekend trips because it makes me feel like royalty — as any evening two-piece should. It’s one of the softest; I want to live in them 24/7. Not to mention, it makes an exceptional gift in any of its lovely colors.”

New York Post Review: “If you want to treat Mom (or yourself!) to pure luxury, this set is in a league of its own. Having tested countless pajamas, I can confidently say the silk quality here is the highest I’ve ever encountered. From the second you slip them on, the experience is pure indulgence worth the splurge.
The 22mm mulberry silk uses the longest, strongest fibers, giving it incredible smoothness that also holds up well when washing without losing its sheen. The silk is machine-washable, naturally breathable, temperature-regulating, and hypoallergenic. I will say the small runs a bit smaller than other brands I’ve tried, so next time I’ll size up to a medium for a more relaxed, loungy fit.”

Like with any garment, stitching and design play a big role in the quality of pajamas. Look for brands that also consider functionality when designing their sleepwear. Things like adjustable drawstrings and pockets seem like small details, but they make a big difference in how a piece feels and moves.
Lunya is one of our favorite places to shop for women’s pajamas. They have an abundance of washable silk sleep sets and dresses that are gorgeous, light, and feel luxurious against the skin.
Soma is another online store to find high-quality pajamas for women. They also often have sales! And of course, Amazon is always worth checking out. They have no shortage of sleep sets in a variety of materials and price points. It’s nearly impossible to leave there with an empty cart.
Temperature and sleep are directly related. The lower the heat is, the easier it is to fall asleep, which is why it’s helpful to choose pajamas with breathable materials. If night sweats are a concern for you, look for pajamas with lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric to keep you cool and dry.
Both satin and silk feel buttery, soft, and luxurious, but they are completely different, material-wise.
Believe it or not, satin is a weave and not a fabric at all. It’s made from a blend of materials, such as nylon, polyester, and silk. It’s not as breathable as silk, so it may not be ideal for hot sleepers. However, it also can be more affordable, still having a glossy finish.
Silk is a breathable, natural fiber. It’s a great option if you want something moisture-wicking and naturally temperature-regulating. It’s also hypoallergenic, so if you have sensitive skin, it’s the material to become familiar with.
It’s crucial to find pajamas that are comfortable enough not to hinder sleep. The most comfortable fabric depends on your personnel preferences, skin sensitivity, and heat levels.
Comfy pajamas are often made from lightweight materials derived from natural fibers like silk, cotton, or bamboo viscose. These materials are not only softer than synthetics but also hypoallergenic and breathable.
While some people prefer cooler natural fibers, others find warmer pajamas, made with cotton and polyester, to be more comfy. Flannel pajamas are a great option for someone who runs cold.
