Ease into your nighttime routine
Changing into your cozy pajamas at the end of a long day is a form of self-care in and of itself. Not only do pajamas offer immediate comfort, but you're also effectively telling your body that it's time to start winding down and relaxing.
Comfort throughout the night
Regulating your body temperature plays a significant role in your sleep quality. Fabrics that aren't breathable can cause overheating and overall discomfort. Thankfully, cotton is a natural material that allows air to flow freely through the fabric. If you are known to sweat through the night, opt for a cotton blend that will wick away moisture while keeping you cool. Cotton is a popular fabric throughout the year because it is soft, lightweight, and breathable. It is also considered to be a hypoallergenic fabric, making it an ideal choice for people with sensitive skin.
Choosing your pajama silhouette
The matching pajama set is undoubtedly the biggest trend to hit the sleepwear market. Female-founded and Oprah's Favorite Things sleepwear brand Eberjey kicked off the vintage-inspired notch-collar and piping detail pajama sets that now come in a range of styles and fabrics. You can now find cute pajama sets from retailers like Amazon in many colors and patterns, from menswear-inspired stripes to florals and pretty eyelet detailing.
Here are 15 Oprah Daily–approved cotton pajama sets to add to your collection for your coziest nighttime routine yet.
