Consider this your PSA: synthetic material is your enemy in the heatwave.
While it’s fairly easy to avoid polyester and similar materials during the day, there’s one culprit that might stop you from staying cool during the heatwave: your pyjamas.
We all know the struggle of trying to catch Zs during the heatwave – let’s not even get into the ‘to fan or not to fan’ debate – but there are lots of things you can do to improve your sleep quality when it’s hot outside (and inside).
You might think sleeping naked is the solution, but it turns out we actually need fabric to wick moisture (ie. sweat) away from our skin in the night.
But not all pyjamas are made equal, according to Ellie Sheach, nightwear buyer at Pour Moi.
“During hot nights, it’s easier to feel sweatier than normal, and sleeping in synthetic materials can cause moisture to build up, which will only make this feel worse,” Sheach says.
“If you’re not ready to ditch the pyjamas entirely, the most important switch you can make to keep yourself cool is choosing nightwear made of cotton. It’s breathable, moisture-wicking and gentle on the skin. Basically, everything your synthetic fabrics aren’t when temperatures rise.”
If you’re ready to throw out everything you know in honour of a good night’s sleep, we’ve hand picked seven of the best cotton pyjamas to shop to stay cool during the heatwave.
