An enjoyable sleep experience is an integral component of life, yet comfort is often missing from its pursuit. Without proper nightwear, even your most comfortable mattress, cozy blanket and fluffy pillow won’t suffice in making the night restful and rejuvenating.
From cotton comfort wear to lace appliques, here are five types of nightwear every woman should own.

1. Cotton Nighties
Pure cotton is an ultra soft fabric that sits comfortably against your skin, being both breathable and absorbent – two qualities which won’t lead to overheating in bed. You’ll find this material available in long and short cotton nighties alike!
Sleep shirts are an essential summer item, ideal for hot and sweaty nights. Easy to care for and wash, these sleepshirts make low maintenance part of your nightwear wardrobe. Cotton nighties come in various prints from floral to nautical designs.
If your sleep uniform consists of worn-out tees and sweatpants, consider upgrading with this super comfortable cotton nightgown from Eileen West. With its dobby stripe fabric with dobby stripes for texture and feminine details like floral lace at the straps and skirt as well as pintuck detailing and Akoya shell buttons on its placket, this nightgown from Eileen West promises restful nights ahead! Plus it’s machine-washable – meaning you can wear it every night without worry of wear-out! Pair this nightgown up with silk pillowcase and sleep mask from Fishers Finery for an added polished look!
2. Ladies’ Nightdresses
Ladies’ nightdresses offer an exciting new way to enjoy cotton sleepwear with the same comfort. Typically featured as dress-like fits with long skirts that fall below the knee for coverage and feature a shirt collar, these versatile pieces make a statement every night! Wear with camisoles, tees or anything else you desire for an instant new look every night!
These nightwear pieces, often featuring delicate lace or embroidery details, are great for women looking to feel both seductive and attractive. Some can even be worn on special occasions with accessories to complete the look. From lacy babydolls to uplifting chemises – there is sure to be something suitable for every taste and preference among this nightwear category.

3. Relax Wear
Comfortable clothes are essential whether you’re lounging around or running quick errands; loungewear differs from sleepwear in that it tends to be looser fitting and feature brightly-patterned fabrics like fleece or flannel, while loungewear tends to be made of neutral cotton, Supima cotton or knit material – perfect for lounging in. Pair leggings with tank top/camisole plus robe or jacket and enjoy the lounging experience in style!
Babydoll and negligee nightwear offers a more feminine aesthetic, featuring eye-catching details like lace appliques and ribbon bows to give it a flirtatious appeal. Perfect for romantic dates or flirtatious adventures alike – these forms of nightwear must be in every woman’s closet!
Pyjamas, nighties, chemises and dressing gowns are staples in anyone’s nightwear arsenal, but for something extra stylish consider adding a sleep shirt into the mix – these long shirts can easily coordinate with other nightwear like pajamas, camisoles and tees!
4. Long Nightgowns
Not like pyjamas which hug close to your skin and may feel restricting if you perspire at night, nightgowns provide light comfort that allows free movement during sleep and provides additional layers of security if living alone or sharing your space with another individual.
Choose from an impressive variety of long nightgowns designed with intricate lace details or embroidery, thin straps or adjustable ones – there’s sure to be one suitable for anyone’s body size and shape!
If you prefer more glamorous looks, opt for a luxurious silk charmeuse nightgown. Silk is a breathable material that feels soft against the skin without trapping heat; hypoallergenic and great for sensitive skin; its durable material won’t wear down easily after repeated washings; plus it may help regulate body temperature to help ensure restful restful sleep.
5. Short Cotton Nighties
Short nighties are the ultimate in comfortable sleepwear, making a statement when worn to bed on warm summer nights. Constructed of lightweight cotton material for breathability, these breezy pieces boast sundress-inspired styles with an adjustable strap at the knee and come with various patterns to complete your slumbering style.
If you’re new mom, maternity nighties can help ease the transition into motherhood with adorable prints and luxurious fabrics that provide maximum comfort during breastfeeding and pumping sessions.
