Heatwave Prompts Need for Cooling Sleepwear
The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning as temperatures are expected to reach 35 degrees Celsius in parts of the UK. With the heatwave persisting until at least Thursday, many are seeking solutions to stay cool at night. Finding the right pyjamas can make a significant difference, and materials such as bamboo, modal, linen, lyocell, technical synthetics, and cotton are ideal for breathability and moisture-wicking.
Oodie's Cloud Cooling Short Sleeve PJs
Oodie, known for its viral blanket-style hoodie, has garnered praise for its cooling nightwear. The Cloud Cooling Short Sleeve PJ Top and matching shorts, priced at £23.40 each, are made from an 'ultra breathable' and 'buttery soft' modal blend. According to Oodie, the fabric is '21% more breathable than regular cotton jersey PJs' and features four-way stretch with an oversized fit for comfort. One shopper wrote: 'These are the most comfortable and lightweight pjs I’ve ever worn. I no longer wake up covered in sweat.' However, another user noted the waistband on the shorts is 'slightly tight' and recommended sizing up.

Boux Avenue's Shell Striped Modal Short Pyjama Set, reduced from £35 to £22 in the latest sale, is made from lightweight, moisture-wicking modal. The set includes a strappy top and shorts with a lace trim, featuring a beach-inspired shell print on a pink-and-white striped background. With a perfect five-star rating, shoppers call it the 'comfiest pjs ever'. Available in sizes six to 18, it is selling fast.
Their Nibs Women's Cotton Gauze Pyjama Set
Their Nibs, a brand loved by Amanda Holden, offers a Navy Lobster Gauze Oversize Shorts Pyjama Set made from 100% cotton gauze. The loose, open weave promotes airflow, and the oversized fit enhances comfort. Priced at £44, the set features a short-sleeved shirt and shorts with a bright orange lobster print on a navy background. One customer described it as 'like wearing a whisper', though another noted the material is 'slightly sheer'.
tbco. Cropped Cotton Pyjama Set
For those who prefer longer pyjamas, tbco. offers a cropped trouser set made from 100% crinkle gauze cotton. The set, priced at £89, includes short sleeves and cropped trousers with an elasticated waistband and button fastening. It comes in four colours (lilac, blue, green, rust orange) and sizes XS to 3XL. One shopper commented that the 'rust' colour is darker than shown, describing it as 'more a pumpkin orange'.
Marks and Spencer Cool Comfort™ Cotton Modal Shortie Set
M&S's Cool Comfort™ Shortie Set, made from a 50% cotton and 50% modal blend, features Cool Comfort™ technology for breathability and moisture-wicking. The set includes a short-sleeved revere-collar shirt and shorts with an elasticated drawcord waist, in a dark navy hue with white piping. One shopper said: 'Great! Really comfy for hot weather. Very well made.' Another added: 'Brilliant, they are really good, always get very hot in bed, but I need to wear pjs, they keep me cool.' However, one user noted the pyjamas 'shrunk a tiny bit in a routine 30C wash'.
