Bamboo Nightwear for Women – Nightgowns, Night Tops, and Night Pants
Short answer: Choose by how you sleep. If you sleep hot, a nightdress is coolest, because there is nothing around the legs. If you sleep restlessly, two pieces are better, because they do not twist. Bamboo viscose solves the shared task: moving the moisture away so the bed does not turn clammy.
Why nightwear matters more than you think
The night is the longest unbroken stretch where fabric touches skin, and the body gives off moisture the whole time, even without sweating. If that moisture stays in the nightwear, the bed feels warm however cool the room is, and that is often what wakes you. Bamboo viscose takes the moisture into the fibre and passes it on to the air, so the layer between skin and fabric disappears. The full range sits under bamboo nightwear for women.
The nightdress
The nightdress is the coolest choice, because the legs are free and the fabric can move. It is therefore the obvious pick for summer and for nights when you wake up warm. The drawback is that it can twist up if you turn a lot, and that it does not cover when the duvet slips off. Choose a length to the knee or longer if that needs solving. See bamboo nightdresses for women.
Top and pyjama trousers
Two pieces are the most stable choice, because neither the top nor the trousers can twist. It is also the most flexible: a top on its own in summer, both in winter, and the trousers can be worn at home in the evening without looking like nightwear. See bamboo pyjama tops for women and bamboo pyjama trousers for women. Choose loose rather than close fitting, so the fabric can work.
The robe
The robe is the layer that makes the twenty minutes after waking bearable, and it gets worn more often than most people expect. In bamboo viscose it is thin enough not to get warm indoors and at the same time absorbs the moisture left after a shower. Choose a length below the knee if you also want to answer the door in it. See bamboo robes for women.
Size and washing
Choose your normal size, and go one up if you prefer plenty of room. Nightwear should not sit close: the fabric has to be able to move in order to carry moisture. Wash at thirty degrees without softener, because the softener closes off exactly the moisture transport you bought the nightwear for. Dry on the line or on the lowest heat. Two sets are enough if they can hang dry overnight. The rest sits under bamboo for women. See also sleeping better with bamboo.
Frequently asked questions
Nightdress or two piece nightwear
A nightdress if you sleep hot, because the legs are free. Two pieces if you turn a lot, because they do not twist.
Should nightwear sit close
No. The fabric has to be able to move in order to pass the moisture on, and close fitting nightwear makes that harder.
How many sets of nightwear do you need
Two. They can be washed at thirty degrees and hang dry overnight, so two sets cover a whole week.
