CCDK Pyjamas Fit Fabric and Care Basics
Short answer: With CCDK pyjamas, as with any pair, check the cut, the fabric and the care label before you decide. Read the product page for the fibre content, choose a size with room to move, and follow the label when you wash.
How to read the page for CCDK pyjamas
The product page tells you about fabric, length and size, and it is where you find the details that apply to your exact pair. Read the fibre content, look at the measurements and find the care instructions. It takes a few minutes and saves you a purchase that does not suit your habits. The fabric can vary from style to style, so always check yourself.
Fit in the top, sleeve and trouser leg
Fit is decided by three things: the length of the top, the width of the sleeve and the cut of the trouser leg. Look through pajamas for women and compare how the cuts sit. A top that is too short creeps up in the night, and a trouser leg that is too narrow can pull at the knees when you turn over.
The fabric and what the fibre content says
The fibre content shows whether the pyjamas are made of viscose, cotton or a blend. Viscose falls softly and is light, cotton is often more robust, and blends can give a little stretch. If your pair is made of bamboo viscose, the same rules about gentle washing apply as for other viscose fabrics.
How the cut affects sleep
A loose cut leaves room to move and suits people who turn a lot. A closer cut lies calmly and gathers less in the duvet. Think about how you sleep and choose by that, not by what looks best in the picture.
When you are between two sizes
If you sit between two sizes, think about where you want air. With broad shoulders or hips choose the larger, and with a slim figure the smaller will fit. Remember that the fabric may change a little after the first washes, and a very tight pair rarely becomes more comfortable.
Washing and caring for your pair
Follow the label in the pyjamas themselves, because that is what applies to your pair. Most pyjamas do best with a gentle programme, a low temperature and drying without strong heat. Turn them inside out so the surface rubs less, and lay them flat or on a rack to dry.
Keeping colours nice
Dark colours can fade if washed hard, so wash them with clothes in similar shades. Pale colours show stains faster but can often be washed. Use a mild detergent in the amount stated on the pack, so no residue makes the fabric stiff.
Combining with other pieces
The pyjamas can be combined with other loungewear, so you can rest in them all evening. Look at bamboo sleepwear for women and a bamboo jogging suit for women if you want one more layer. Choose pieces in the same colour tone, so changing is easy.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I find fabric and care details for my pair?
You find them on the product page and on the label inside the pyjamas. Read both, so you know how your pair should be washed and dried, and follow that instead of general tips.
How do I know if pyjamas fit?
They should leave room to move without hanging. Check the length of the top, the sleeves and the trouser leg, and sit down and reach out to see whether anything pulls.
Can I wash pyjamas with other laundry?
Yes, if colours and care labels match. Turn them inside out and avoid rough items with zips that can rub against the fabric.
