Promising review: “I’m heavy chested and I need to sleep in something with support. I’ve always used tanks with inner bra areas and spots bras. They can get constricting and hot in the summer. I like this bra because It feels like a low cut sports bra. It’s cut low enough so I don’t feel constricted or smushed. I don’t fall out while tossing around in my sleep. It’s not hot in the summer. It looks nice with night gowns or tank tops. It doesn’t give me the intertube boob look of a sports bra. It’s more flattering and functional.” — T.J.

“I recently had reconstruction surgery after a double mastectomy. My surgeon told me that I now have to sleep in a sports bra and wear a bra basically 24/7. I have struggled to find something that is comfortable enough to wear 24 hours a day. I went to one of your boutiques and the ladies there were so helpful. They recommended this palette along with a couple other bras. I bought them all. These are amazing! I am currently buying more.” — Texan in Florida

“This is a well constructed, very comfortable bra. I have not taken it off since putting it on yesterday! Yes, it is comfortable enough to sleep in which is what I wanted in a bra that also has perfect lift and fit without tugging or binding. It is exactly my size (a true 40B). It is also very pretty, I intend to buy a few more and throw all my others away. Thank you Playtex, for remaining one of the few manufacturers dedicated to quality control in their products and customer satisfaction as their goal.” — LilsZoo2015

Promising review: “So comfortable – like you’re not wearing a bra, except it does offer support and lift. I would not workout in this, but feel very supported in daily activities and it is comfortable enough tosleep in. It offers full coverage with no spillage and is true to size. I’m 32G. The only weird thing is the band around the ribs in the front is a bit too wide so it folds but it doesn’t bother me.” — 32GAthlete

Promising review: “As soon as I put this on I knew I would be happy with its comfort & support. I bought this to sleep in because I always wear a regular bra but I had having to adjust it before going to bed. My gramma always said, ‘never go to bed without one’ so here I am, 54 and still doing it but now I can do it in the softest, most comfortable way ever!! I will be ordering more colors. I ordered the grey (per the good reviews for this color and stretchiness they claimed). They were all right. I got a small per the size chart and it fit perfectly. I am 34D, I like whatever I wear to bed to be snug, to hold the girls in & keep them in place.” — Mellisa Borrelli

Promising reviews: “This bra is the most comfortable bra I’ve ever owned. I even sleep init because I forget I have it on! Worth the price.” — StephanieMW
“I bought this bra is 3 colors to wear after a breast surgery ( implant removal and lift) I was told I needed to sleep in a bra for at least the first couple of weeks. I hate sleeping in bras, but this bra was wonderful. I love the super soft fabric and the adjustable straps help get the fit just right. Because there are no fasteners in the back, I don’t even know I’ve got anything on! It easily pulls over the head like a sports bra, but not as difficult as my sports bras. I’ve washed them several times and they still look brand new. I now wear them during the day as my main bra much of the time, as the light removable pad is enough coverage for me to feel comfortable wearing it with blouse. It doesn’t provide quite enough shape and thickness that I feel comfortable wearing it with a tight or light colored t shirt. I love this bra so much!” — LauraGen

Promising review: “This bra is perfect for casual and lounge wear. As a 40D, I struggle with bras pinching, pulling, causing back rolls, armpit bulges, and just general discomfort- all sorts of annoyances. Finding this bra however was like striking oil. You just pull it on, there are hook enclosures in the front but they’re really just for aesthetics. Not having to deal with a back clasp is another huge plus. No rolls, just enough coverage, and comfortable enough to sleep in. The support is good enough, as I said, it’s comfortable, but I would not want to try running while wearing this bra that’s for sure. I’ve bought 4 of them so far.” — Meg Lee
