Reviewers Love These Pajamas That Won’t Make You Sweat In Your Sleep

Made with a modal cotton blend that promises a jersey-knit softness, this Amazon-exclusive pajama set is machine-washable and “perfect for hot flashes,” according to one reviewer. The set is available in women’s sizes XS-7X and 10 colors.

Promising Amazon review: “I ordered size XL based on reviews and not wanting tight PJs. I’m 5’4”, 182lb, apple-shaped with a large waist and chest (RIP my in-box). The top is roomy, comfy, not too big or small. The waist of the shorts is almost too big to wear. I’m keeping them because I wore them, and I hope they shrink a little. I think the size L would be just right. However, the material is so light and soft, and cooling—perfect for hot flashes. Best sleep I’ve had in a while due to these jammies!” — Layla

“I absolutely love these pajamas. After receiving the first pair (white/black dots) I immediately ordered another pair in pink. They fit amazing and i love the colors. I am 5’6” and 150 pounds and the medium fit perfectly. They run slightly loose, which i really like. What i wasn’t expecting was the cooling fabric. They remind me of the expensive Soma pajamas. I also like the fact that the shorts are a slightly longer length that is more flattering than the super short pajama shorts that i sometimes see. These are a great value and very cute!” — Jami Biwer

This flowy sleeveless night dress is made almost entirely from bamboo viscose fibers, a material that’s naturally breathable and cooling. Offering coverage down to the knee, this gown comes in women’s sizes S-4XL and over 40 colors.

Promising Amazon review: “As an older menopausal woman, I’ve tried everything to keep cool during my hot flashes. One day, a co-worker told me she switched to Bamboo fabric to stay cool, so I decided to do some research. I was sold on the idea and purchased this beautiful, inexpensive black nightgown. To my surprise, it is incredibly soft, there are no straps, it has full coverage, and most importantly it keeps me comfortably cool. The XL fits perfectly and is so comfy. This nightgown has managed to keep me cool throughout the night, and the material is dry in the morning. I love this gown and color! It is a game changer for me, I have less hot flashes!! I will definitely buy more!!!!!!” — Karen Dee

According to the makers of these relaxed-fit lounge pants, they are made with a buttery soft fabric that helps to regulate the body’s temperature in every environment. Only available in black, they have an elasticized waist and come in women’s sizes S-2X.

Promising Amazon reviews: “My new favorite for Summer heat waves. These are easily something you could wear all day in heat, at a beach (not work wear but hey depends on what you do). Wish they came in more colors and pockets. Great all the way around.” — LW

“These pants are perfect for a night sweater like me! They keep me cool and wick away any moisture quickly if I do sweat. I recommend these 110%!!!” — Leann Little

Another Amazon exclusive, these men’s sleep pants are a more affordable alternative to a Nautica pair further down our list and have over 17,170 5-stars. They are made with a light poplin cotton, have a button-fly closure, and elasticized waist. Find them in over 15 patterns and sizes XXS-3XL.

Promising Amazon review: “My body tends to run warm so I prefer lighter and cooler feeling pajama pants for most of the year, especially in the summer. These pajamas are perfect for me thanks to how light they are and how cool they feel due to being made of 100% cotton. I also ordered a pair of RK Classical Sleepwear pants from Amazon at the same time as this Amazon Essential pair with the assumption that I’d really like at least one of the pairs. I wound up really liking both pairs but favor the Amazon Essential pair more due to the coolness of being 100% cotton compared to the RK pair’s 55% cotton / 45% polyester blend.” — Elisa K.

This T-shirt gown is part of Soma’s Cool Nights collection of breathable and cooling sleepwear that’s made with lightweight rayon fibers that never cling to the body. Now on sale in many of the 18 prints available, the Cool Nights sleep dress comes in women’s sizes XS-XXL.

Promising Soma reviews: “I bought this a week ago and I love it. It is so soft and breathable in this heat.” — Comfee

“When I say I need Cool Nights I am not kidding. We live in the desert and it is so hot in the summer. I can now sleep through the night without waking up sweating. The fabric is so cool and drapes beautifully. Others say the size runs small but for me this is not true at all. I will be ordering more. Thanks Soma” — LJstv

This chic and breezy nightgown hails from Target’s revered in-house clothing brand Auden and is made with a cool-to-the-touch chemise satin fabric that’s Oeko-Tex-certified, meaning it was “tested against 350 harmful chemicals,” according to the brand. Snag this in three colors and sizes XS-4X. Many reviewers claim the dress runs large so you may want to size down.

Promising Target reviews: “I love the fun back straps on this nightgown! They’re adjustable for a comfortable fit. The satin is very soft and it washes up nicely. It’s perfect for keeping cool but covered on warm summer nights.” — MNmom2girls

“This chemise is so soft & comfortable! I’ve slept in it a handful of times & it’s very comfortable. It doesn’t make me warm either which is nice since I’m a hot sleeper. It’s long enough that I can lounge in it ar home & not have to worry about covering myself.” — Phoebe720

Available in four colors and sizes S-2XL, these 32 Degrees soft sleep shorts are made with the brand’s four-way stretch jersey knit fabric that claims to be cooling on the body. They are pocketed, have an elasticized waist band and a drawstring.

Promising Amazon review: “I can’t normally wear pajamas because I get too hot. I bought several sets of 32 Cool shorts and shirts for a stay in the hospital and have worn them ever since. They are light and stretchy and very comfortable. They wash very well and hold up nicely. Price couldn’t be much better. Wish there were more colors. I have several sets I’ve been wearing for over a year and they still look great. I just bought another set. I get XL shirts and L shorts. I’m 6’ and 210lbs.” — Nolan Little

According to many reviewers, this soft and lightweight set keeps warm sleepers cool at night thanks to the viscose bamboo fabric that’s naturally temperature-regulating. The set features a satin detailing on the neckline and short cuff and they can be purchased in sizes S-4XL and 20 colors.

Promising Amazon review: “I’m a very warm sleeper and I’m always looking for ways to stay cool at night. Especially since I live in a place that is so hot. I read a review of these on BuzzFeed and thought it seemed worth a try. I’m so glad I did because not only are these PJ’s super soft but there is a noticeable difference in temperature. The color isn’t my favorite but I’m not trying to win a fashion show. If you too are a warm sleeper I highly recommend giving these a shot.” — Ally

This luxury sleep shirt for men by Dagsmejan is made with cooling eucalyptus fiber that the brand claims is eight times more breathable than other materials, more temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking. It’s available in seven colors, sizes S-2XL and you can also get the Dagsmejan sleeper shorts in the same material.

Promising Dagsmejan reviews: “This T-shirt is super comfy and definitely keeps me cool. Definitely feels a bit luxurious.” — Jake S.

“I have eczema so need to keep cool in bed, these are the only pajamas that work for me.” — Nigel S.

A similar (and no longer available) version of this pajama set by Target’s in-house loungewear brand Stars Above went viral on TikTok a couple years ago and these boast nearly the same material, except under a new Target-exclusive name, Auden (I have both the Stars Above and Auden renditions and believe they are indistinguishable). The cotton jersey-like fabric is incredibly soft, cool to the touch and Oeko-Tex-certified. The shorts are pocketed and the set comes in five colors and sizes XS-4X.

Promising Target review: “Love these! Material is very soft, stretchy, light, and cool. Perfect for hot summer nights. Shorts are a bit shorter than I’d prefer, but I’m covered. No issues with the buttons coming undone or with pilling. Liked them so much in navy, I went back for the green geometric.” — Skeezix

Nautica’s soft-woven sleep pants are constructed of 100% cotton, feature side pockets and an elasticized waistband. They are available in several colors and prints and come in men’s sizes S-XL.

Promising Amazon review: “These pants are great for hot summer nights, cool, light and comfortable. I have long legs and the pants were originally quite long but shrank about two inches when they were washed. Preshrinking the cotton fabric would help in maintaining the original length. In the picture they drape over your feet, but, in actuality they hang around your ankles. I would recommend these PJs to anyone with the caveat, prepare for them to shorten a bit.” — Jim Vanden Berg

Available in sizes S-XXL and 17 colors and prints, this short-sleeve sleep set comes with tons of claims endorsing the fabric’s breathability, softness and stay-cool capabilities.

Promising Amazon review: “Sizing was as expected. The material is very soft and comfortable. I stay cool throughout the night and don’t overheat. I considered a medium, but I am a 36D in the chest and didn’t want a tight top for sleeping, so I ordered a large and the sizing was perfect.” — Jennifer Middleton

“Very lightweight, cool and comfy. Also very flattering which I was surprised by. This is my first pair of PJ’s that actually keep me cool while I sleep. I’m going to purchase a few more pairs.” — Ann Roberson

Quince is known for using luxury fabrics that can be purchased at an affordable price point and this sleep set made from 100% mulberry silk, a naturally thermoregulating material, is a prime example. The adjustable racerback cami and relaxed-fit lounge shorts are sold separately but are both machine-washable and available in sizes XS-XL. Find them in up to six colors.

Promising Quince review: “I love this cami, which I paired with the silk pajama (long) bottoms. They are great together. I had worried the cami would be too cropped but have full mid-section coverage. I sleep on the warmer side and these pjs are cooling, just as I’d hoped. The quality of the silk is perfect — not slippery satin texture but super soft with a great feel. They run roomy (but not too large), which is nice for pjs.” — Sharon H.
