The 13 Best Cooling Pajamas to Curb Night Sweats

Waking up in a pool of your own sweat is just the worst. I’ve been there, throwing off the covers in the middle of the night, feeling sticky and gross. It completely wrecks your sleep, leaving you tired and cranky the next day.

For a long time, I thought it was just my sheets or my mattress. But then I discovered the world of cooling pajamas. The right sleepwear, made from materials that breathe and pull moisture away from your skin, can honestly change everything.

So, I tested a bunch of them to find the best cooling pajamas out there. I looked for fabrics that felt cool, managed sweat, and were comfortable enough to actually sleep in. Here are the ones that really stood out.

 

 

Our Top Picks for Cooling Pajamas

Dagsmejan Nattcool Air Sleep Tech Slip Dress

The Dagsmejan Nattcool slip dress costs $140. It’s made from a eucalyptus-based fabric that feels incredibly cool and slippery against the skin. It’s supposed to be eight times more breathable than cotton, and I believe it.

This is the one I’d recommend for serious night sweats. Even on hot nights when I’d normally be miserable, this slip kept me feeling dry and surprisingly fresh. It pulls moisture away so fast you barely notice you were sweating.

The Downside: The price is pretty steep for a nightgown.

 

 

Eberjey Inez Washable Silk Short Set

At $158, this Eberjey set is a total luxury. It’s made from a high-grade silk that just floats over your body. It never felt clingy or sticky, even when I was warm.

What I really love is that it’s *washable* silk. You get that amazing, cool, breathable feel without the hassle of dry cleaning. It felt just as good after a few washes.

The Downside: It gets wrinkly, so you have to be careful with it or give it a quick steam.

 

 

Lunya Washable Silk Tulip Dress

This Lunya dress is $148, and it’s perfect if you’re an active sleeper like me. I toss and turn a lot, and the tulip-style side slits and racerback design meant it never got twisted or bunched up.

The washable silk is light and breezy, keeping me cool all night. It’s another great option if you want the feel of silk without the high maintenance.

The Downside: This one also tends to wrinkle, so it might need a little attention out of the wash.

 

 

Lusomé Eva Sleepshirt

For $78, the Lusomé sleepshirt is a workhorse. It’s specifically designed with moisture-wicking tech, and it aced our tests. Sweat just seemed to disappear from the fabric almost instantly.

This is a great choice if you deal with intense hot flashes. I even tried a long-sleeve version and didn’t overheat, which says a lot. The fabric is super soft and drapes nicely, too.

The Downside: I did notice some minor pilling after a few wears and washes.

 

 

REST Evercool Cooling Pajama Shorts Set

The REST Evercool set costs $120. The name doesn’t lie—the silky nylon-viscose blend feels cool the second you put it on. That initial cool touch is so nice when you’re getting into bed feeling warm.

It also did a fantastic job of wicking away moisture through the night. I really liked the little slits on the back and sides, which add some extra airflow where you need it.

The Downside: It’s another one with a higher price tag.

 

 

Cozy Earth Bamboo Pajama Set

This popular bamboo set from Cozy Earth goes for $175. The stretch-knit bamboo viscose is ridiculously soft. It’s breathable and does a great job regulating temperature.

I found these to be perfect for year-round wear. They keep you cool when it’s hot but are substantial enough that you don’t freeze if the temp drops. Plus, they held up amazingly well in the wash with no pilling.

The Downside: It’s definitely an expensive set of pajamas.

 

 

Soma Cool Nights Printed Short-Sleeve Notch Collar & Cropped Pants

At around $65, Soma’s Cool Nights PJs are a fantastic deal. The lightweight rayon fabric feels cool and smooth, and it’s perfect for people who move around a lot in their sleep.

I was a little worried that pants, even cropped ones, would make me too hot. But I stayed totally sweat-free. The fabric just drapes over you without trapping any heat.

The Downside: If you have really intense night sweats, the moisture-wicking might not be powerful enough compared to the tech fabrics.

 

 

Printfresh Short Sleep Set

If you hate boring pajamas, this $95 Printfresh set is for you. The organic cotton poplin is crisp and lightweight, and the patterns are so fun and vibrant. It feels classic but not stuffy.

It’s very breathable, making it a great option for hot sleepers who prefer cotton. I would suggest sizing up if you want a really loose, airy fit, which definitely helps with cooling.

The Downside: The cotton poplin doesn’t have much stretch to it.

 

 

Cool-jams Moisture Wicking V-Neck Capri Set

This Cool-jams set costs $88. The microfiber fabric is unbelievably soft and light, and it really excels at wicking moisture away. It scored top marks for sheer comfort.

These were a favorite among testers who tend to overheat. They stay put without shifting around and just feel great against the skin all night long.

The Downside: Let’s be honest, they’re not the most fashionable pajamas on the list.

 

 

PJ Harlow Anne Satin Sleep Cami

This simple cami from PJ Harlow is $50. On those scorching hot nights when you want to wear as little as possible, this is perfect. The satin and rayon blend feels cool and looks elegant.

I paired it with some simple shorts and it was the ideal combo for staying cool. It’s a great minimalist piece for any hot sleeper’s wardrobe.

The Downside: It’s just the top, so you have to buy bottoms separately.

Finding the right cooling pajamas really comes down to the fabric. Materials like bamboo, silk, Tencel, and specialized microfibers are designed to breathe and manage moisture far better than standard cotton or flannel pajamas.

It might take a little trial and error, but swapping out your sleepwear is one of the easiest and most effective ways to combat night sweats. A better night’s sleep is totally worth it.
