FAQs: Best cotton pyjamas ladies UK
Why choose cotton clothes?
Cotton pyjamas are a popular choice due to their breathability and comfort. They are ideal for those who experience hot flushes or live in warmer climates, as cotton helps regulate body temperature, wick away moisture and helps to keep you cool during hot summer days and nights. For summer evenings - why not opt for one of our favourite ladies' cotton jackets for summer.
How do cotton pyjamas help with hot flushes?
Cotton is a natural fibre that is breathable and has excellent moisture-wicking properties. This means it can help to absorb sweat and allow it to evaporate, helping to cool the skin during a hot flush.
Are cotton pyjamas sustainable?
Yes, cotton is a renewable and biodegradable material, making it a more sustainable choice compared to synthetic materials. Choosing cotton pyjamas can be a part of a more holistic and environmentally-friendly lifestyle.
How should I care for my cotton pyjamas?
Most cotton pyjamas can be machine washed in warm water. It's best to avoid using bleach as it can weaken the cotton fibres over time. To dry, either tumble dry on a low setting or hang them up to air dry. Always check the care label on your pyjamas for specific washing instructions.
Can I wear cotton pyjamas in winter?
While cotton is known for its cooling properties, it can also be a good choice in winter, especially if you tend to overheat when sleeping. However, if you feel cold at night, you might want to consider heavier cotton flannel pyjamas.
