The Key to a Good Night's Sleep? Cosy Men’s Pyjamas!

We all know that getting a good night's sleep is no easy feat! In the UK, many of us fall short of the recommended 7-9 hours (with 8 being the golden number) and studies suggest that, together, we are in fact a sleep deprived nation. The importance of a good night sleep is not something to downplay though; getting enough hours of shuteye improves health and immunity, combats weight gain, and increases creativity and productivity. But how can one get a better night's sleep we hear you ask... As obvious as it may sound, did you know that comfortable men's nightwear may actually be just the thing to help you drift off for a solid 8 hours? As well as enabling you to get snug and settled, decent sleepwear can help regulate your body's temperature, providing you with a perfect night's sleep! So we're here to give you the lowdown on the best men’s pyjamas so that you can sleep soundly, while remaining in style. After all, if you're going to spend a third of your day in bed (ideally!), you might as well skip the boring boxers and dress for the occasion instead!

The best in men's nightwear, from cotton sleepwear to soft fleece pyjama sets

When it comes to selecting the best men's sleepwear, material plays a big factor. Being too hot, or – perhaps worse – too cold has the potential to really impact the quality of your sleep. Although many men choose to sleep in their underwear, especially in warmer months, nothing beats a cosy set of pyjamas at this present time of year, when it's chilly and dark outside and all you want to do is snuggle up. Cotton pyjamas are a consistent winner, as their lightweight fabric is breathable and allows for sweat absorption, meaning they'll help reduce your risk of being exposed to the cruel wake-up call of overheating in the middle of the night. Every man's nightwear wardrobe requires a quality cotton 2-piece and, lucky for you, they come in every colour and style possible, meaning you’re sure to find at least one set that you’ll utterly adore. In our opinion, nothing beats traditional tartan models in terms of style! In particularly cold temperatures though, weightier materials and long sleeve tops are best for keeping the chill at bay. Flannel and fleece pyjamas are the perfect investment during the depths of winter, thanks to their insulating and super-soft fabric. Looking ahead to spring though, our firm favourites for the mid-season are short sleeve pyjama sets that come in understated colours, with a stripe or check design.

This same material-focused logic can equally be applied to your bedding; in addition to well selected pyjamas, handpicked ultra-soft cotton sheets or a cosy set of flannel bed linen could keep you at the perfect temperature and have you sleeping like a baby. Of course, don’t forget to throw a blackout eye mask into the equation for good measure too – that way you’ve covered all bases for a dreamy, deep sleep!

Season-inspired sleepwear: long sleeve pyjama tops and full-length bottoms, or men's PJ shorts and V-neck t-shirts

When in quest of a good night's sleep, the cut of your pyjamas is another thing worth taking into consideration. More fabric generally means greater insulation. It therefore goes without saying that your natural reflex when faced with chillier conditions should be to cover up and throw on full-length pyjama bottoms and a long-sleeved top, whereas warmer weather calls for pyjama sets that are comprised of shorts and a t-shirt (a V-neck top will let your body breathe all the more). That being said, the latter are ideal if you're naturally prone to getting too hot in bed, or if unrestricted freedom of movement is just the thing to help you avoid hours of uncomfortable tossing and turning. In the mid-season, a good compromise for getting the temperature balance right is to opt for a long trouser and t-shirt combo.

Whatever type of PJ set you choose, make sure it’s loose-fitting and unrestrictive, as this is key to achieving maximum comfort. V-neck pyjama tops or button-up collars that can be left open are a great way to avoid any sensation of constriction around the neck. Likewise, pyjama shorts or trousers with elasticated, adjustable waists are your best pick – any pyjama bottoms with this in-built flexible feature are sure to provide the perfect fit without compression!

Sleepwear is the new loungewear – choose your men’s pyjamas wisely and you're all set to sleep and chill in style!

Let's be honest, in recent times the line between sleepwear and loungewear has become increasingly blurred, especially with remote working enhancing the importance of having laidback leisurewear to hand to see you through your everyday. No longer restricted to nighttime but worn in the daytime too, chic sleepwear is a worthy investment that's sure to offer some pay back! So why not treat yourself to pyjamas that will let you eat, sleep, work, relax, repeat in total style.

Sleepwear fashion has come full circle, and traditional checked pyjamas are back in the spotlight once more. Similarly, classic button-up long sleeve pyjama shirts with a collar and piped details are taking the world of men’s loungewear by storm, placing renewed emphasis (to the extreme) on smart-casual work-from-home-wear! Nevertheless, every man still has room in his closet for a pair of PJs that have a more modern character to them. Pyjama tops and t-shirts featuring a fun, bold print design are a great way to add some playfulness and lift your relaxed looks. And while your sleepwear can pass for loungewear, the reverse is true too.

Men’s joggers double-up as super-cosy pyjamas, and the addition of a soft, warm hoody never hurt anyone! To polish off your look, throw some faux suede slip-on mules into the mix. Trust us, slippers are the real cherry on top when it comes to stylish loungewear. And if you look and feel good in your lounge and sleepwear, you’ll have one less worry when your head hits the pillow at night!
