What Makes Great Summer PJs?
Choosing the best summer pajamas can make a big difference in sleep quality. Look for fabric that's temperature regulating, moisture-wicking, soft but not too thick or warm, and stylish without sacrificing comfort.
We may be a bit biased, but our favorite PJs for women include this luxuriously light bamboo stretch-knit sleep dress, these ultra-comfy bamboo stretch-knit pajama pants, and these bamboo rib-knit PJ shorts.

What is the Coolest Material for Pajamas?
It might seem a little obvious, but the fabrics you choose for summer play a big part in your comfort level. Bamboo viscose is one of the best fabrics for summer nightwear because of its temperature-regulating properties. It’s also extremely soft, sustainable, and naturally breathable. If you’re searching for cool pajama materials, bamboo viscose should be the top of your list. Other fabrics, like cotton and mulberry silk, are also lightweight and comfortable for both hot summer evenings with the fan on and nights with ice cold AC.
Tips for Staying Cool at Night
Once you’ve chosen the best summer pajamas, make sure you take a few other things into consideration to stay cool at night:
- Lightweight bedding – Depending on where you live and how you set your thermostat, it may be time to swap out the bulky duvet or comforter for a lighter weight summer quilt or coverlet. What’s the difference between a coverlet and a quilt? We thought you might ask. We have a whole blog post about them for you here.
- Keep the room well-ventilated – There’s nothing worse than trying to fall asleep in a hot room without any airflow. Whether you prefer to open the windows, turn on a fan, or let an air purifier do its thing, make sure your space allows air to move around to make the environment more comfortable.
- Shower before bed – A warm shower before bed can be extremely relaxing but a cool shower before hitting the hay can help keep your body temperature down while you drift off to slumberland.
- Pair cooling pajamas with breathable sheets – Making sure your sheets are breathable and temperature regulating is another way to keep sweaty nights at bay. If you’re still sleeping on the same set of sheets from when you got your first apartment, it might be time to upgrade. Our bamboo sheet sets come in a variety of colors and all offer the same strength, softness, and cloud-like comfort.
When it comes to the best summer pajamas, breathability, softness, and smart fabric matter—and Cozy Earth delivers on all fronts. Whether you're winding down in a breezy sleep dress or stretching out in soft pajama pants, our bamboo viscose PJs are thoughtfully designed to help you sleep cooler, longer, and more comfortably all summer long. Upgrade your sleepwear and experience the difference for yourself.
