The best ladies' cotton pyjamas for a better night's sleep

Breathable yet stylish picks for the colder months.

By

Sleep is sacred, so it's important to make sure you're cosy and comfortable in the pieces you choose to wear. A pair of ladies cotton pyjamas in 100% cotton or a cotton blend, for example, could be a breathable option for all season.

Like a healthy diet and exercise, quality sleep is essential to our wellbeing, and comfort is key to getting a good night's sleep.

Lisa Artis, deputy CEO of The Sleep Charity, explains: "Part of getting a good night’s sleep is being comfortable in bed, whether that’s making sure you’re sleeping on a comfortable and supportive bed, using appropriate bedding and sleeping in comfortable nightwear.

"If you’re not comfortable in bed – because you’re too hot or too cold – your sleep won’t be as deep, you’ll move about more and will wake up feeling tired and unrefreshed. Choosing the right bedding fabric is essential to restful sleep and cotton is often a preferred choice for both bedding and nightwear as it is breathable, wicks moisture and stays comfortably cool against skin."

Cotton's natural fibre should help to keep your body temperature more balanced. So, whether you're after a sophisticated floral print or a classic nightdress, we've rounded up some of the best ladies' cotton pyjamas to buy now.

And if you're looking to really upgrade your sleep experience, we've also rounded up our favourite Egyptian cotton and linen bedding sets. And, if you're a light sleeper, a silk sleep mask could also help keep you in the dark.
