When it comes to sleepwear, I’m all about comfort. Although I have a few sexy nighties, I like to keep them for the “hot” nights. For everyday use, women’s sleepwear cotton gowns are my favourite.

I have to confess that I’m very picky about my nightclothes. I’m probably pickier about them than I’m about my other clothes. After all, I spend almost 8 hours wearing them during the night, if not more. And when I’m not comfortably dressed for my sleep time, I usually spend the whole night tossing and turning. In order to find comfortable sleepwear, I avoid synthetic fabrics as they don’t allow the skin to breathe and tend to twist and bunch up. This explains why cotton is one of my first choices.

I also prefer sleeping in nightgowns rather than in two-piece pyjamas. For me, sleeping in pants is torturous. Here are some of the reasons why women’s sleepwear cotton gowns are my first choice of nightwear.

Comfort

Keeping in mind the hot climate that our country has almost all year round, I can’t think of any fabric other than cotton for my sleepwear. High-quality cotton wear is super soft and comfortable. It allows the skin to breathe and absorbs sweat easily, keeping your body dry and itch-free. With a cotton nightie, you will be set for a good night’s sleep.

Insulation

Cotton is a natural fibre that provides thermal insulation. It allows more air to circulate between the skin and the fabric.

Style

Gone are the days when cotton nightdresses came in tacky colours, loud prints and had lace, ribbons, and bows all over. Nowadays, most designs are classy and in more toned down prints so that you can wear them even throughout the day if you are planning to lounge around at home.

Easy to Care For

Cotton is one of the easiest fabrics to maintain. It requires no special care, and the more you wear it, the softer it gets. Cotton sleepwear holds up well to laundry pre-treatments and stain fighters even in the washing machine. Plus, it’s one of the most durable fabrics. It is strong and durable, which means it’s less likely to rip or tear.

No Allergic Reactions

Cotton does not irritate the skin or cause any allergies. It is highly recommended for people with sensitive skin.

As you know, a good night’s sleep can do wonders for you and your health. It rejuvenates your body as it repairs and reorganizes your brain cells as you sleep. It gives you enough energy to go through your day. No creams, lotions or beauty treatment can replace a good night’s sleep. Comfortable nightwear plays an important part in getting the needed dose of z’s.

When shopping for cotton nighties, there are a few things to keep in mind. One of them is straps. Depending on their design, straps can be extremely annoying and can sabotage your comfort. Overly long straps or straps that dig or fall down can disturb your sleep. When it comes to size, your nightgown shouldn’t be too loose, nor too tight as to restrict your movement. And don’t forget about design and colour – choose a nightie in a design you’ll love waking up to and a colour that reflects your style.
