The best pajamas for women can be hard to come by. After, all there's so much to choose from, how do you know which pair will get you a golden ticket straight to snooze town? After all, it is called by many names—shut-eye, hitting the hay, catnap, siesta—but no matter what you call it, we can all agree that there is no better feeling than getting a good night’s sleep. Whether you’re someone who falls asleep as soon as their head hits the pillow or someone who spends the night tossing and turning, we’re all on a mission to get that eight-hours-of-sleep glow that only comes from a good night’s rest.

Though they may not help us achieve that well-deserved beauty sleep, a luxurious pajama set always makes the experience a little more enjoyable. We love them because they add a bit of elegance to every night (not that we don’t love our raggedy old sweatpants) and make it even harder for us to get out of bed in the morning. While searching for the perfect set, it’s important to know which material, fit, and style feels good on your body. If you’re a hot sleeper, you may need a linen set to add breathability, or if you have sensitive skin, silk may work best for you. To help navigate this journey, we’ve broken down our must-have pajamas based on fabric.

So, light your favorite candle, slide under your covers, and add all 32 of these pajama sets to your cart to get ready for bed. From luxe sleep shirts and leggings to long-sleeve pajama sets and the best silk pajamas, we’ve got options for every kind of snoozer and in a variety of sizes, from XXS to 6X.

Women’s Scotch Plaid Flannel Pajamas

Women's Scotch Plaid Flannel Pajamas

Another classic from L.L. Bean, this set is available in plus, tall, and petite size ranges (you can even add a monogram, making it extra special).

Available in seven patterns—including a handful of authentic tartan designs—each set is made of a cozy Portuguese flannel.

Prints

Wray NYC Long Lounge Set

Long Lounge Set

This particular lounge set has a fan club, and for good reason. New York–based size-inclusive brand Wray opted for a simple check pattern that people cannot get enough of. The wide-leg design of the pant is modern, while the top has a classic notched lapel. There are also a handful of other patterns—floral, swirl—for those not loving the checkered set. But all options come in the brand’s mood-lifting color palette (think bright greens and pops of orange). Additionally, Wray’s focus on offering an extensive plus-size range is another reason we love them. 

Painted Stripe Pajama Set

Painted Stripe Pajama Set

We’re going to start by applauding the deep pockets in this pajama set—perfect for nighttime snacks and stashing your AirPods when your sleep playlist has played through. The colorful stripes are enough to put a smile on your face, but the lightweight cotton poplin will also have hot sleepers snoozing straight through the night.
