The best bamboo pajamas are the key to a truly comfortable night's sleep. If you struggle with overheating or want a more sustainable option, bamboo pajamas could be the answer you've been looking for.

The best pajamas for women are a practical investment that help to regulate your body temperature, without compromising on style - and bamboo pajamas tick all these boxes. Often loose-fitting and flowy, pajamas made from bamboo are ideal for those who need the best pajamas for night sweats. A sustainable fabric, bamboo is increasing in popularity, as it is regarded to be softer than cotton, anti-bacterial, hypoallergenic, and a natural deodorizer, all ideal characteristics when it comes to pajamas. 

A rival to the best loungewear, bamboo pajamas are also moisture-wicking, meaning they are gentle on the skin for night-long wear. But despite the light texture, bamboo also has thermoregulatory properties that keep in heat during the winter - what's not to love? For a set of bamboo pajamas that will see you through all seasons, look no further than this roundup of our favorites.

How to choose the best bamboo pajamas for you

Bamboo pajamas, and offshoots of the material such as Modal and sustainable TENCEL fabrics, are designed to keep you cool in warm weather and be some of the warmest pajamas in cold weather, so they really do work year-round. However, they are very lightweight, so if you are someone who prefers thick, fuzzy materials, they may not be for you. But if you are after lightweight fabrics such as bamboo, there are a few things to keep in mind when shopping:

  • Bamboo percentage: Though most bamboo pajamas have stretch and give, it's worth checking the fabric composition to see if there's any added elastane and check how much bamboo is actually in your pajamas. You'll want to be going for items with something like 95% bamboo and 5% elastane to be sure you're getting quality bamboo fabric that maximizes all of the qualities of bamboo.
  • Pajama cut: This is all down to personal preference, but make sure you go for a fit that you feel comfortable in. Remember that bamboo pajamas keep you cool, so you can still opt for long sleeves even if you intend to wear your pajamas into the summer.
  • Care: Most bamboo pajamas are machine washable, but it's always worth checking before you buy. You want a pair of pajamas that you can easily keep clean and fresh, and bamboo styles are typically very durable and can be machine washed regularly.
