6 Things You Should Consider When Buying Pyjamas

Our pyjamas have long been the things that we have taken for granted, or not paid too much close attention to – just a ratty old T-shirt from 10 years ago. After all, who’s going to be looking at us in bed? That’s where we’re not quite right. Looking good and comfortable has often been associated with us feeling good both on the outside and inside. That’s why good quality, comfortable sleepwear is an important investment that you should be putting more thought into. Here are some factors you should consider when buying pyjamas for a good night’s sleep.

Comfort & Style

Pyjamas are the epitome of comfort – clothes that you wear for yourself and for your eyes only. But did you know that your pyjamas can have a big impact on your health? Sleeping in comfort allows you to have a better quality of sleep. This in turn improves your sleep, physical and even mental health in indirect ways.

Choose the best style of pyjamas for both your body and the way you sleep. For example, if you are a stomach sleeper, you might want to avoid pyjamas with protruding zips and embellishments. If you run a little hot during the night, sleepshirts and short pyjamas might work better for you to keep cool. Rawbought has 4 classic styles of pyjamas that cater to every preference – Sleepshirt, Short Set, Long Set and Full Set. You’re guaranteed a comfortable night’s sleep in our pyjamas.

Fabric

This is one of the most important factors that you should consider when you are looking for suitable pyjamas for yourself. The fabric of your pyjamas has a big impact on the quality of sleep you get because it affects the temperature of your body. Staying cool through the night enables you get a good night’s sleep and so, it’s good to wear pyjamas that help to regulate your body temperature as you sleep.

Choose the best fabric for your body (depending on whether you run cool or hot), the environment that you sleep in, and the climate that you live in.

Rawbought’s pyjamas are made of modal fabric, a sustainably-made natural fabric that is buttery soft and extremely breathable. They are perfect for the tropical weather in the region and for those who run a little hotter at night. Check out the benefits of modal pyjamas here.

Fit

The best pyjamas are relaxed, just like how you should be when you’re wearing them. Too big and you lose the benefits of the warmth and comfort that the fabric of your pyjamas gives you. Too small and you feel the discomfort of having the fabric strain against your skin and the painful indents that your bottoms cause on your skin.

Check the measurements and size guides carefully for the best size when shopping for pyjamas. Rawbought’s pyjamas come in a relaxed fit, with the tops designed to sit slightly lower on your neck to keep you cool. Our bottoms also come with soft elastic that are very stretchable so that you don’t feel any discomfort no matter what size you are. Our Je Dors Collection bottoms are designed to sit on your waist, while the Carezza Lace bottoms sit on your hips – catering to a wide range of preferences.

Colours

Sleepwear is something that you wear for yourself, it can be a way for you to express yourself. Don’t be afraid to have fun with your sleepwear even if you are just wearing them at home. Colours and prints are a great way to reflect your personality.

Rawbought’s Je Dors Collection has a wide variety of colours for you to choose from. If you’re an introvert, you might be drawn to softer colours like Chalky Blue, Lilac and Pressed Rose. If you’re an extrovert, you might enjoy more vibrant colours and prints like Red Dahlia, Jewel Green and Pink Tropics, that add a pop of colour to your bedroom.

Longevity

Sleepwear is something that you should be able to cherish for a long time. You deserve to feel comfortable and have the best night’s sleep for as long as possible. It’s good to invest in quality sleepwear that can last you for a while – one that is made of good quality, durable fabric. It is also friendlier to our Earth, reducing our consumption and limiting it to your essentials. Hence, you should take your time and choose your sleepwear carefully to get more bang for your buck.

Versatility

If you’re the type to stretch your dollar, you can invest in sleepwear that can double up as loungewear or even streetwear, that you can wear outside of your bedroom. The pandemic and the resulting fallout have had a significant impact on what we wear – more people are opting for versatile clothing that can be worn both outdoors and indoors.

Our Rawbought’s Carezza Lace Belted Pant is one such style that works perfectly as both loungewear and streetwear. Made of the same modal fabric as our pyjamas, the Lace Belted Pant allows you enjoy the familiar comfort of sleepwear even when you head out.
