Sleepwear for Travelling – Light and Crease-Free
Short answer: Nightwear in bamboo viscose is ideal for travelling, because it takes up very little room, weighs almost nothing and smooths out quickly after a spell in your suitcase. At the same time the fabric regulates temperature, so you sleep well in both warm and cool destinations.
Why is bamboo nightwear good for travelling?
Bamboo viscose is thin and light, so a whole set takes up less space in your suitcase than a single cotton jumper. The fabric drapes softly and straightens out again quickly once you hang it up at the hotel. Have a look at the selection of bamboo nightwear for women and bamboo nightwear for men.
Another big advantage when you travel is that bamboo slows bacterial growth and odour, so your nightwear stays fresh for several nights between washes.
Warm and cold destinations
Bamboo viscose wicks moisture away from the skin and feels cool in the heat. For sunny countries, a night T-shirt for men or bamboo night shorts for women is an easy choice. If you want to know why the material works both ways, read about bamboo and temperature regulation.
How to pack your sleepwear
Roll the set instead of folding it, and you avoid sharp creases. Bamboo dries quickly, so you can rinse it in the sink and hang it up to dry overnight. A single set plus one extra top is enough for most trips.
Frequently asked questions
Does bamboo nightwear crease in a suitcase?
Very little. Bamboo viscose drapes softly, and most creases smooth out when you hang the set up in the steam from the bathroom.
Is bamboo nightwear good in hot countries?
Yes, the fabric wicks moisture away and feels cool against the skin, so it suits tropical nights well.
How many sets should I bring on a trip?
One to two sets is normally enough, because bamboo stays fresh for longer and can quickly be rinsed and dried overnight.
