Searching for new summer sleepwear can be overwhelming. We take the tricky part out of finding comfortable sleepwear, that will keep you cool on hot summer nights. All with beautiful lustrous, natural fabrics.
Why you should avoid Polyester?
There are so many options of pyjamas nowadays. Images of beautiful women, lounging luxuriously in silky, satiny, glossy pyjamas. Many have fun, trendy prints and are often very reasonably priced making them extremely attractive to purchase. However, take a look inside the item and search for the garment tag, and you will notice that many are in fact made of man made fabrics, one of the most common being polyester.
Simply put, polyester is made out of plastic from the oil manufacturing industry and will not decompose for 20-200 years. So, I urge you, forget about all those polyester, man-made, false satin and silk-like alternatives, and choose cotton. 100% cotton.
When I want to stay cool during hot and humid summer nights, I reach for the one and only guaranteed fabric that can do so – cotton! 100% pure cotton is the most effective fabric to keep your skin feeling cool and dry. It has the incredible ability to keep water away from your body by absorbing moisture and is very breathable.
