How many sets of nightwear you need

Short answer: Three sets is enough for most people: one in use, one clean and one in the wash. If you sweat at night, four or five.

The calculation

Nightwear is worn seven nights a week but does not need washing daily. With three sets you can wear one for two or three nights and still always have a clean set ready.

When you sweat at night

If you sweat heavily, nightwear has to change every night, and then four or five sets are needed to wash weekly. Choose thin qualities that move moisture. See bamboo nightwear for women.

Sets by season

Two sets for summer in thin fabric and two for winter in heavier fabric cover the year. Bamboo viscose works at both ends, the difference is the weight of the fabric. See bamboo nightwear for men and bamboo nightdresses.

Frequently asked questions

How often should nightwear be washed

Every third or fourth night with normal use, every night if you sweat.

Can tops and bottoms be mixed

Yes, if the colours go together. That gives more combinations from fewer sets.

How long does a set of nightwear last

Two to three years with cool washing. Nightwear wears less than daywear.
