03/10/2025

Sleepwear is an important part of your bedtime rituals and routines. You may not realize it yet, but what you wear to bed could be helping or harming your quality of rest.

The hidden impact of synthetic fabrics

Synthetic sleepwear is often made from fabrics like polyester. This type of material can negatively impact sleep quality because it traps heat and moisture.

As a result, you’re going to overheat under the covers, which means lots of sweat and frequent wake-ups as a result. That affects the quality of deep sleep you get and the overall restfulness you feel or don’t feel by wearing this type of material to bed.

Why breathable cotton makes a real difference

Breathable cotton can make a big difference to how your body feels. With that being said, here’s why this material is great to look out for when shopping for sleepwear in general.

Temperature regulation

Cotton is a naturally breathable fiber, allowing hair to circulate freely around your body. As a result, this helps to prevent trapped heat and discomfort. This can lead to waking up in the night.

Deeper sleep

Many studies have found that cotton is helpful in regulating body temperature. That is something that’s essential for falling asleep, as well as staying in a deep sleep for longer, too.

Moisture wicking

Cotton absorbs sweat and moisture from the skin, keeping you comfortable and cool without feeling damp. It’s a great benefit for those who are hot sleepers, as it helps to maintain a consistent sleep temperature, no matter what time of the year it might be.

Reduced overheating

With synthetic fabrics like polyester, they can trap heat. With cotton, you’ve got a natural breathability to help create a cooler sleep environment.

Improved sleep hygiene

Sleep hygiene is important because it helps create a healthier sleep environment in general. Breathable cotton bedding can deter the growth of dust mites, bacteria, and even mold.

Soothing for sensitive skin

As a gentle, natural, and hypoallergenic material, cotton is a great choice for those who have sensitive skin or allergies.

Simple swaps for a better night’s sleep

A white cotton nightie is a great way of helping get a better night’s sleep. Consider what you could change in order to improve your sleep surroundings. For example, it might be switching to blackout blinds over curtains that let the light in. You may also want to consider playing white noise or soundscapes that help you fall asleep faster.

Sleepwear is just one of the ways in which you can help improve your sleeping habits. So with that being said, use these tips to make sure you maximize your sleep health by wearing the right sleepwear to bed from now on.
