What Kind of Material Should You Get Your Pajamas In?

Sleepwear can be remarkably important. After all, that's what you’ll be spending (hopefully) six-eight hours in. Comfort is huge and that’s going to be a big factor, but there are so many materials that pajamas can come in. There really is no right answer in regard to what’s best because it all comes down to preference. What I can help you with here though, is giving some insight into the different types these can come in.

Cotton: This is easily the most common kind you’ll find. There’s good reason for that though. Cotton pajamas are warm, comfortable, and soft. It’ll absorb sweat and is pretty durable. It's also machine washable which's always a plus.

Wool: Wool actually comes from cotton, and shares many of the good qualities of cotton. Wool is also incredibly warm making it perfect for cold winter nights.

Silk: This is a bit fancier than some of the other options and it comes from a worm, BUT silk is one of the softest, most breathable fabrics you can find. It’s also incredibly light. There are some downsides though. It can really only be machine-washed on cold, and it shouldn’t be machine-dried at all. Sweat can also cause it to weaken a bit, and ironing can make it fade. It’s up to you though as to whether or not the pros outweigh the cons.

Flannel: Another perfect winter fabric. Flannel is incredibly warm yet breathable, and is remarkably durable. Winter can be rough, and here in Massachusetts it’s been particularly bad, so maybe some flannel pajamas aren’t a bad idea.

Cashmere: Cashmere is quite fancy, and makes for some very comfortable pajamas. Very soft and breathable, and it’s water resistant so you can sweat all you want without fear of any sort of damage to the material. There is a downside to cashmere though and that is that it shouldn’t be machine-washed.

That’s a rundown of all of the different types of material you can find your sleepwear in, or at least all that I can think of. Hopefully this is all helpful for you as you decide which pajamas to go for when you do your shopping at Jumpin Jammerz.
