Men's Bamboo Sleepwear – Pajamas That Keep You Dry

Short answer: Most men sweat first at the back and the neck, and that is where cotton nightwear fails: the moisture stays put. Bamboo viscose takes it into the fibre and releases it into the air, so the bed does not turn clammy. Choose loose, and choose by how warm you sleep.

Why the fabric decides the night

The body gives off moisture all night, even without sweating, and it is that moisture which makes a bed feel warm. In cotton it is absorbed but released slowly, so the nightwear turns heavy against the back. In polyester it is not absorbed at all and lies directly against the skin. Bamboo viscose does both: it takes the moisture into the fibre and releases it into the air again, so the layer between skin and fabric disappears. The full range sits under bamboo nightwear for men.

Sleep tee or bare chest

Many men sleep without a top, because a cotton one turns clammy. The problem is that the moisture then goes straight into the sheet, and a sheet dries more slowly than a tee. A thin bamboo sleep tee solves it: it takes the moisture off the back and releases it over the night, and it is thin enough not to be warm. See sleep t-shirt for men. Choose a size that does not sit close across the shoulders.

The pyjama trousers

The trousers should be loose, both because the fabric has to be able to move and because a tight waistband is uncomfortable lying down. Look for a soft, wide band with a drawstring, so it can be adjusted without cutting in. The length is a matter of taste: long in winter, short in summer, and both can be worn at home in the evening without looking like nightwear. See pyjama trousers for men.

In winter

If the bedroom turns cold, the answer is not thicker nightwear but one more layer of the thin kind. A vest under the sleep tee keeps the chest warm without holding the moisture, and it can come off in the middle of the night if it turns out to be too much. See bamboo vest for men. Two thin layers work better than one thick one, because the air between them insulates.

The robe and the washing

The robe is worn for the twenty minutes when you are wet after a shower or cold after getting up, and in bamboo viscose it absorbs the moisture without turning heavy. See bamboo robe for men. Wash all nightwear at thirty degrees without softener and dry on the line or on the lowest heat. Two sets cover a week. The rest of the range sits under bamboo for men.
