How Many Sets of Nightwear Do You Need?

Short answer: Most people manage perfectly well with three to five sets of nightwear: one on your body, one clean in the wardrobe and one in the laundry basket. If you choose nightwear in bamboo viscose, you can often make do with fewer sets, because the fabric stays fresh for longer between washes.

The rule of thumb: three to five sets

With three sets you never run short, even when one set is in the wash. If you sweat a lot at night, or wash less often, four to five sets is more comfortable. Have a look at the full selection of nightwear in bamboo.

Why bamboo nightwear lasts longer between washes

Bamboo viscose wicks sweat away from the skin and slows the bacteria that cause odour. That means a set can often be worn for several nights before it needs washing, without feeling stuffy. Find your next set under bamboo nightwear for women or bamboo nightwear for men.

Switch with the seasons

Many people really have two wardrobes: light sets with shorts or a nightdress for summer and longer sets with pyjama bottoms for winter. So count on three sets for each season rather than five identical ones. You can read how to keep your sets looking good for as long as possible in our washing guide for bamboo clothing.

Frequently asked questions

How many sets of nightwear is enough?

Three to five sets covers most needs. Three is the minimum if you want a clean set ready while another one is in the wash.

How often should nightwear be changed?

Typically after two to four nights. Nightwear in bamboo can often be worn at the longer end, because the fabric keeps odour at bay.

Should I have different nightwear for summer and winter?

It is a good idea. Light sets for warm nights and longer sets for cold ones give you better sleep all year round.
