We know there’s nothing better than slipping into your fav pair of PJs, but how do you care for them? If you have questions about the fit, fabric and more – you are in the right place!


How often should I wash my pajamas?

If you’re rocking PJs just for sleep, wash every 3–4 wears. Been lounging in them all day? Wash your pajamas more frequently.


What’s the best way to wash your pajamas?

Wash your PJs in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle. It helps keep colors bright, fabric soft and your cozy vibes strong. Bonus tip: Turn them inside out to reduce pilling and fading!


Can I tumble dry my pajamas?

Yes, you can tumble dry pajamas on a low heat setting. High heat can be harsh on those dreamy fabrics, so a low heat, or even air-drying method is even better for preserving fabric quality.


Can I use fabric softener on my pajamas?

Yes! Fabric softener is an added way to keep your PJs cloud-soft through every wear. If your PJs are made of moisture-wicking or stretchy materials, avoid using softeners which could affect the fabric.


How to keep my pajamas soft and cozy?

Use gentle detergent, avoid over-drying and wash with similar soft fabrics! If you treat your pajamas like the BFFs they are, you’ll have softness that lasts for ages. 


What’s the best fabric for pajamas?

The best fabric for pajamas depends on your needs:

  • Cotton: Soft, breathable and ideal for year-round wear.
  • Flannel: Warm and cozy, perfect for winter.
  • Silk/Satin: Luxurious and cooling, ideal for warmer climates or elegant lounging.

Can I wear pajamas outside the house?

Fashion trends have embraced wearing pajamas as streetwear! Silky sets or coordinated tops and bottoms can double as chic outfit staples.
