Why Breathable Fabrics Matter: Cotton, Satin & Linen Explained
When it comes to a good night’s sleep, breathable fabrics are one of the most overlooked (but essential) factors. At Their Nibs, we put comfort first - and that starts with the fabric against your skin. Whether you’re snoozing through the seasons or spending a slow Sunday morning in your PJs, breathable fabrics like cotton, satin, and linen help you stay cool, calm, and totally comfortable.
Here’s everything you need to know about why breathable fabrics matter - and how to choose the best one for your perfect pyjama moment.
Cotton: The Everyday Favourite
Soft, natural, and wonderfully breathable, cotton is a true sleepwear staple. Its moisture-wicking properties help keep you cool in summer and cosy in winter, making it ideal for year-round wear. We use high-quality cotton across many of our bestsellers, from crisp cotton shorties to classic long pyjama sets.
Our 100% cotton is especially loved for its softness that only gets better with every wash - and its ability to let your skin breathe all night long.
Best for: Hot sleepers, everyday wear, and those who love natural fibres.

Satin: Cool & Silky
Think satin can’t be breathable? Think again. Our satin is lightweight and soft to the touch, gliding across the skin and offering a cool-to-the-touch feel. It’s perfect for those who love a little luxury at bedtime but still want something practical and comfortable.
Our satin is made using recycled materials, it drapes like a dream and feels cool against the skin, making it perfect for a restful night’s sleep or slow weekend lounging.
Best for: Feeling fancy, summer evenings, or gifting moments.

Linen Blend: Naturally Airy
Linen is the ultimate fabric for summer sleep. Known for its temperature-regulating properties, it allows for plenty of airflow while also being naturally moisture-wicking.
At Their Nibs, we use a viscose-linen blend for a softer, more wearable feel that still delivers the lightweight comfort you’d expect from linen. It’s what makes our Oversized Pyjama Sets perfect for both bed and beach.
Best for: Holiday vibes, warm climates, and lovers of laid-back luxury.
