Cozy Earth Rib Knit classic pajama set
Cozy Earth is a go-to brand amongst Traveler editors, especially when it comes to comfortable clothing for long-haul flights. From joggers to slippers to sheets and towels, we've looked to Cozy Earth to provide the most comfort possible while traveling and at home—and the Rib Knit Classic pajama set is no different. Crafted from luxurious bamboo viscose, the set provides extra warmth for cooler evenings, while the rib-knit detailing adds a touch of sophistication to your pajama collection.
Material: Bamboo viscose
Sizes: XS–XXLBarefoot Dreams CozyChic Ultra Lite pajamas
For the days spent lounging around the Airbnb or hotel room in your pajamas, opt for the CozyChic Ultra Lite set. They're chic enough to pass for an everyday loungewear set, sporting a relaxed silhouette. Made from the label's signature soft CozyChic fleece, the deep V-neck top and matching pants come in three neutral hues that are just as soft as the fabric itself: Stone, Java, and Terra.
Material: Viscose, nylon
Sizes: XS–XL
Skims Soft Lounge ribbed short pajamas
For those trying to get out of wearing shorts and a T-shirt to bed, this is the set for you. Skims is known for its breathable, lightweight material that’s accompanied by a lot of stretch. The set comes in four neutral hues with monochromatic piping along the edges of the shorts and shirt. The shorts come with a drawstring waistband and can be cinched in to accentuate more of a silhouette, or let loose for a relaxed look.
Material: Modal, spandex
Sizes: XXS–4XMoonlight short pajamas
Nordstrom's Eberjey dupe is nearly half the price, and the modal and spandex fabric is just as smooth, though a touch thinner. Available in nice colors and patterns, the short-sleeve button up has a notched collar and piping throughout, and the matching shorts have a stretchy elastic waistband.
Material: Tencel, spandex
Sizes: XXS–2X
Gap Satin PJ set
This satin set from Gap is soft to the touch, machine washable, and proves you don't need to break the bank for comfort. It comes in four striped colorways (all on sale right now) and is made from lightweight, breathable satin—perfect for the transitional seasons or for those who run hot at night.
Material: Satin
Sizes: XXS–XXL
Lunya washable silk pajama set
If you’re a regular Instagram shopper, ads for these washable silk pajamas have probably found their way into your feed. Lunya’s shorts set, which strikes that perfect note of elevated comfort, is the brand's best offering (though we love the cozy travel wardrobe, too). The set is made of 100 percent silk, and though the “washable” element means it feels slightly less delicate than traditional silk, the material is still incredibly smooth. Plus, they require no extra care while cleaning—a game-changer when you’re on the road.
Material: Silk
Sizes: XS–2XEberjey Gisele stretch jersey sleep shirt
Consider Eberjey's nightshirts the grown-up version of that oversized college shirt you've been hanging on to. A personal favorite of mine, the plush, soft fabric feels smooth against skin and is cool enough to wear in warm months, but cozy enough for winter, too. Looking for a little more coverage for family breakfasts in the cabin? Throw a pair of leggings on underneath and you're good to go.
Material: Modal, spandex
Sizes: S–XL
Victoria's Secret thermal pajama set
Cold winter nights call for thermal pajamas. Each of the six seasonal patterns you can order this set in come with a long-sleeved shirt and cuffed legging. As both are lightweight and snug, it's easy to roll up the set and pack it into a weekender for a cabin getaway.
Material: Cotton
Sizes: XS–XXL
Sleeper Party Double Feather pajamas
We won’t blame you if we catch you wearing this set out in public. This set is reminiscent of old Hollywood glamor and made from lightweight crêpe de Chine. While beautiful it is also practical with handy patch pockets and the delicate feather trim is removable. This is the set that'll get you through your bachelorette weekend.
Material: Viscose with removable ostrich-feather trim
Sizes: XS–XLHanro Juliet pleated nightgown
If you haven’t stepped into sleep dress territory yet, do yourself a favor and make the jump ASAP. And by sleep dress, we’re not talking about old-school nightgowns—we’re looking to softly structured designs that conjure up daydreams of al fresco naps and hot summer nights. This lightweight cotton dress from Hanro is long and drapey but has a structured cut that prevents it from bunching up in bed like an oversized T-shirt might. The thin straps are adjustable, too, adding to the comfort (and support) level of this nightgown.
Material: Cotton
Sizes: S–L
Summersalt The Cloud 9 Boyfriend sleep shirt
For those who've been wearing the same oversized tee to bed for years, think about investing in a nightshirt. The Summersalt Cloud 9 boyfriend sleep shirt is lightweight, breezy, and silky smooth. It’s machine washable, so no matter how many spills it’s subjected to—it’ll hold up. It even has a tiny chest pocket for your ultra-small necessities.
Material: Polyester charmeuse
Sizes: XS–2XEberjey Gisele short pajama set
Several Traveler editors rave about Eberjey's pajama sets and nightgowns, which are the answer for those reluctant to ditch comfort for style. This short-sleeve button-up and shorts set is crafted out of a super-soft modal jersey that is smooth to the touch and feels like being wrapped in your comfiest jersey sheets. The white piping elevates the look, without trying too hard, and the shorts offer enough coverage for almost any scenario, whether you're staying with in-laws or on a group trip with friends. (Prefer long sleeves? Try this set instead.)
Material: Tencel, spandex
Sizes: XS–XL
Desmond & Dempsey long sleeve cotton pajamas
With so many patterns to choose from, we understand if you pick up more than one. The cotton set offers can be worn relaxed or have a more tailored fit thanks to the adjustable waistband. You can go for a high-waisted look or have the pants rest comfortably around the waist.
Material: Cotton
Sizes: XS–2X
