Sleep T-Shirt – The Simple Solution

Short answer: A night T-shirt is the simplest form of nightwear: one soft, loose T-shirt that gives free movement and plenty of air. In bamboo viscose it also keeps you dry and at an even temperature, so you avoid waking up clammy in the middle of the night.

Why the night T-shirt is so popular

No tight waistbands, no pieces twisting around each other and nothing to keep track of. A single T-shirt covers it all and goes on without thought. See the models under night T-shirts for men, cut longer than an ordinary T-shirt.

The difference from an ordinary T-shirt

A night T-shirt is longer, looser and usually sewn with flat seams, because it lies against the skin for many hours. An ordinary T-shirt can be used, but it rides up over the stomach, and the seams are felt more clearly lying down than standing up.

Length decides most of it

If the T-shirt is too short, it gathers around the ribcage when you turn over. A length reaching well down over the hip stays put all night. That is the single thing that most often decides whether a night T-shirt gets worn or ends up at the back of the drawer.

With or without a bottom

Many wear the night T-shirt alone, and that is the coolest option. If something is needed underneath, night trousers for men in the same material are the obvious choice, because both pieces then behave the same way when the temperature shifts.

For the women's wardrobe

On the women's side a nightdress solves the same job with even more length and even more air. See the range under bamboo nightdresses for women if the length of a T-shirt is not enough, and choose one reaching at least mid thigh.

Why bamboo at night

The body changes temperature several times during a night. Bamboo viscose takes moisture into the fibre and releases it slowly, so the fabric does not turn cold and damp against the skin. It is the shift from warm to damp that wakes most people, not the heat itself.

For travel and the guest room

A night T-shirt takes less space than any other nightwear and can be washed in a basin. It dries overnight, because bamboo viscose releases moisture quickly. The rest of the men's range is under bamboo nightwear for men if more has to go in the bag.

Washing and service life

Wash after two to three nights at 30 degrees without fabric softener, and hang the T-shirt to dry. It lies against the skin for eight hours at a time, and skin oils gather faster than in daywear. With two, they can be alternated and aired in between. See also bamboo and temperature regulation and bamboo nightwear for men.
