Pyjama Bottoms for Women – Guide

Short answer: Pyjama bottoms for women should sit loosely, keep you evenly warm and feel soft against the skin all night. Pyjama bottoms in bamboo viscose breathe better than cotton and polyester, and they come both as long trousers and as shorts for the warm months.

Why pyjama bottoms are a classic

Many women prefer pyjama bottoms because they keep the legs warm and move with you when you turn over in your sleep. With an elastic waistband and no tight edges, you barely notice them. See the range of bamboo pyjama bottoms for women in several lengths and colours.

Pair them with the right top

A good pair of pyjama bottoms only becomes a proper sleep set with a soft top to go with it. A loose bamboo pyjama top breathes just as well as the bottoms, so you avoid feeling clammy in one place and cold in another. If you sleep very hot, you can swap the long bottoms for bamboo pyjama shorts in summer.

Fit and care

Choose your usual size – bamboo viscose has natural stretch and follows the body without pressing. Wash at 30-40 degrees without fabric softener and the fabric stays soft. Read more in our washing guide for bamboo clothing, and find the rest of the range under bamboo nightwear for women.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between pyjama bottoms and pyjama trousers?

In practice they are two words for the same thing: loose, soft trousers to sleep in. What matters is the material and a waistband that does not press.

Are bamboo pyjama bottoms too warm in summer?

No. Bamboo viscose breathes and wicks moisture away, so long pyjama bottoms work for most people all year round. If you sleep very hot, pyjama shorts may be a better choice in summer.

How should pyjama bottoms fit?

Loosely and comfortably, without being so baggy that they twist when you turn over. Choose your usual size unless you deliberately want a very loose fit.
