I Sleep Hot
Stay Cool. Sleep Better.
If you often wake up feeling hot, sweaty or uncomfortable during the night, you’re not alone. Many women naturally sleep warm, while others experience overheating due to warmer weather, heated bedrooms, hormones or night sweats.
Choosing the right sleepwear can help you stay more comfortable by improving airflow, reducing heat build-up and managing moisture while you sleep.
Below are the fabrics we recommend for women who sleep hot.
Our Recommended Fabrics
Our Best Choice
Bamboo Jersey
Bamboo jersey is our number one recommendation for hot sleepers.
Its silky-soft feel, excellent moisture management and natural stretch help you stay comfortable throughout the night. The fabric gently moves with your body while helping reduce that sticky feeling many women experience when they become too warm.

Lightweight Woven Comfort
Viscose Cambric
Love classic woven pyjamas but don’t enjoy heavy fabrics?
Viscose cambric has a lightweight, cool feel with a beautiful fluid drape. Because it doesn’t cling to the body, it’s a lovely choice for warm nights while still offering an elegant woven look.

Naturally Cool Cotton
Cotton Seersucker
Cotton seersucker is designed with a naturally crinkled texture that gently lifts the fabric away from your skin. This creates better airflow and reduces cling, making it one of our favourite cotton fabrics for warm summer nights.

Best for
✓ Summer
✓ Hot sleepers
✓ Warm climates
✓ Customers who enjoy crisp cotton sleepwear

Best for
✓ Summer

Elegant Comfort for Cooler Evenings
Viscose Cotton Sateen

FAQs
If you have any questions, you can take a look at our FAQ. Another request? Please contact us for more information.
Q: Should I choose bamboo or cotton sleepwear?
Both are excellent natural fibres that offer comfort in different ways.
- Bamboo Jersey is soft, stretchy and excellent at managing moisture.
- Lightweight Woven Cotton is breathable, airy and perfect if you prefer classic woven pyjamas.
The best choice depends on how you like your sleepwear to feel.
Q: What pyjamas will keep me cool in summer?
Lightweight natural fibres such as bamboo jersey, viscose cambric, cotton seersucker and cotton sateen are all excellent choices for warm nights.
Choose the fabric that feels most comfortable to you, then select your favourite style.
Q: Should I wear a nightie or pyjamas?
Both can be comfortable.
Many women who sleep hot enjoy a nightie or sleepshirt because they allow more airflow, while others prefer the comfort and coverage of a lightweight pyjama set.
The best style is simply the one you feel most comfortable sleeping in.
Q: Which fabric should I choose if I don’t like stretchy sleepwear?
If you prefer traditional woven pyjamas, we recommend:
• Viscose Cambric
• Cotton Seersucker
• Cotton Sateen
• Viscose Cotton Sateen
These fabrics provide breathable comfort without the stretch of knitted sleepwear.
Q: Can the right sleepwear help me stay cooler at night?
Breathable natural fibres can improve comfort by allowing better airflow and helping manage heat and moisture while you sleep.
While sleepwear cannot treat medical conditions, choosing the right fabric may help you feel cooler and more comfortable throughout the night.
