When the weather warms up, a good night’s sleep can feel harder to come by. But choosing the right pyjamas can make all the difference. At Their Nibs, we believe sleepwear should be as comfortable as it is beautiful - so here’s our guide to the best fabrics and shapes to keep you cool during summer.
The Coolest Fabrics for Summer Nights
When temperatures rise, lightweight, breathable fabrics are key. Here are our go-to options:
Cotton Gauze
Our bestselling cotton gauze pyjamas are a summer sleep essential. This fabric is soft, airy, and has a naturally crinkled texture. It’s light, breathable, and feels almost like wearing nothing at all - perfect for balmy nights or sunny mornings in the garden.
Linen-Blend
Our linen-blend pyjamas are another summer favourite. Linen is naturally cooling and helps regulate body temperature, while the addition of viscose keeps the fabric soft and floaty - not stiff or scratchy like some traditional linens. The result? Sleepwear that looks good and feels even better.
Cotton Voile
For those who like their nightwear feather-light, cotton voile pyjamas are ideal. It’s soft, smooth, and woven in a way that allows air to flow freely, making it perfect for warmer nights.
The Best Shapes for Summer Sleep
Once you’ve chosen your fabric, think about your pyjama shape. Some cuts are simply cooler than others.
Shortie Sets
Short sleeves and short bottoms are a classic for a reason. Our cami shorties and traditional shortie sets are perfect for warm nights, giving you freedom to move without overheating.
Oversized Fits
Roomy pyjamas mean less cling and more airflow. Our oversized pyjamas are one of our most popular shapes, available in both long and short leg versions so you can choose the style that suits you best.
Night Dresses
Sometimes less is more! Our floaty nighties are cool, breathable, and perfect for those who like to sleep in something light and loose.
Whatever your summer plans - whether it’s holidays, sofa lounging, or simply surviving the UK heatwave - our summer pyjama collection will help you keep your cool (and look good doing it).
