Women's organic cotton pyjamas & nightwear

Choosing women's organic cotton pyjamas

Women's organic cotton pyjamas are soft, breathable and get softer with every wash. Cotton suits people who run warm at night, because it lets heat escape. Pick short sleeves for summer and long sleeves for winter, and check whether the set has a drawstring or elastic waist. A light cotton weave feels crisp and cool, while a jersey stretches and feels softer. AMOKA DALO makes most of the pyjamas here, and Komodo makes the rest. AMOKA DALO and Komodo had their fabrics and factories reviewed before we stocked their pyjamas here.

Long sleeve pyjama sets

AMOKA DALO makes long sleeve sets such as the St. Ignacio and Victoria, plus sets in white and other colours. Each pairs a top with trousers, all in organic cotton. A long sleeve set suits cold nights and lazy mornings, and a loose cut feels easy to sleep in all night. Look for a relaxed fit across the shoulders, so the top does not pull when you move in your sleep. These sets make a thoughtful Christmas present, especially for someone who likes a slow start on Christmas morning.

Short sleeve sets and pyjama bottoms

AMOKA DALO makes short sleeve sets such as the Cartagena, with shorts or trousers. Komodo makes women's organic cotton pyjama bottoms, which you can pair with a T-shirt you already own. Short sleeve sets suit summer and anyone who sleeps warm. Pick a lighter colour in summer and a deeper one if you also lounge around the house in your pyjamas.

Fit and care

Check the size guide on each listing, and size up if you like a looser fit. Wash pyjamas at 30 degrees and dry them on a line, so the cotton stays soft and does not shrink. Avoid fabric softener, which can coat the fibres, and wash new pyjamas before wearing, so they feel soft from the first night. Nothing here uses animal fibres.
