Sleepwear for Travelling – Light and Crease-Free

Short answer: Nightwear in bamboo viscose is an obvious choice for travelling, because it takes little space, weighs almost nothing and smooths out quickly after the suitcase. At the same time the fabric regulates temperature, so you sleep well at both warm and cool destinations.

Why bamboo takes less space

The fabric is thinner than cotton at the same warmth and can be rolled tightly without harm. A set takes up about as much room as a rolled T-shirt. See the light models under bamboo nightwear for women and bamboo nightwear for men.

The creases fall out by themselves

A knitted fabric in bamboo viscose straightens out within half an hour on a hanger, because the fibres are smooth and heavy. That is the difference between unpacking and going to bed and having to find an iron in a hotel room at ten in the evening.

Washing in the basin

A set can be washed in a basin with ordinary soap and is dry by the next evening, because bamboo viscose releases moisture quickly. Press it out in a towel first and then hang it over a hanger. Two sets therefore cover a trip of any length.

For the warm destination

On a warm trip, bamboo night shorts for women or a loose night T-shirt are the coolest choice. A hotel room with air conditioning swings more in temperature than a bedroom at home, and there a moisture moving material makes the biggest difference.

For the cool destination

For a cool destination a night T-shirt for men with long night trousers is enough, because hotel rooms are rarely cold. Bring a thin extra layer rather than a thick set, because the thin one works in both places and takes less room.

Nightwear that can do more

When travelling it is an advantage if the nightwear also works for a walk down the corridor for ice or for opening the door to breakfast. A plain set in a dark tone looks neat enough for both and does not stand out.

How to pack it

Roll the set tightly instead of folding it, and no sharp creases form. Put it at the top of the bag so it is the first thing that can be hung up. A bag for worn nightwear keeps the rest of the suitcase free of moisture.

Washing after you get home

Wash the whole set at 30 degrees without fabric softener when you get home, even if it was washed in a basin along the way. Soap from a hotel room is rarely meant for textiles and can leave a film that slows moisture transport in the fabric. See also bamboo and temperature regulation.
