I caught Zzzs in sustainable sleepwear from brands that are organic, eco-friendly, and size-inclusive. These are my reviews of fit and comfort for each.
When it comes to pajamas, I’ve never been much of an old t-shirt and gym shorts kind of gal — maybe it’s because I work from home, but I want whatever I sleep in to be cute enough to wear on an impromptu dog walk or to pass for acceptable daywear if I need to hop on a Zoom. While I love a traditional matching button-down and pants set or a classic cotton nightgown, whenever I add to my pajama drawer I’m usually prioritizing versatile, comfortable options that make me look put together and feel absolutely luxurious against my skin. And of course, whatever I’m sleeping in needs to be made from the best materials — breathable, clean, and organic fabrics that won’t trap heat, odor, or sweat are essential for any clothing I wear all through the night and then straight through the next day. Is that so much to ask?
Why shop for sustainable and organic pajamas?
When it comes to considering the many ways that certain materials can impact our health and the environment, what we sleep in is just as important as what we sleep on. Synthetic fabrics like rayon, polyester, and acrylic have all been found to contain PFAS, “forever chemicals” that don’t ever break down after being absorbed into our bodies and the earth. These chemicals have been linked to a number of serious health concerns, like asthma, cancer, and endocrine disruption. But because PFAS are also often used to achieve textile enhancement properties (wrinkle-resistance, water-repellant, quick-drying), they can be found in some natural materials like non-organic cotton as well. Which is why choosing certified organic fabrics that have been cleared for PFAS use is so important.
Our criteria & methodology:
The Good Trade team hand-picked sustainable brands with pajama offerings for this test — and I was sent the nine options below for review. I slept for multiple nights in each set, and made notes on fit and comfort (including breathability, softness of materials, and warmth). We update this list with new favorites when they meet the following criteria.
- SIZE-INCLUSIVE | We’ve included options that carry a large range of sizes so you can find the right fit for you.
- SUSTAINABLE | All of the brands on this list use sustainable sourcing and manufacturing, including fair labor practices, to ensure your purchase is low-impact. Many of these brands have give-back programs, too.
- ORGANIC & NONTOXIC | The brands on this list prioritize using certified organic, natural, and recycled materials that are never treated with harsh chemicals so they’re safe for you and the earth.
- ECO-FRIENDLY | The brands on this list avoid synthetic materials — that can take forever to break down, emitting microplastics along to way — and over-production to reduce harm to the earth. We’ve noted brands that are carbon-neutral or have other eco-initiatives.

Best Overall | Softest | Best For Warm Weather | Best For Cold Weather | Sexiest
1. Pact
Size Range | XS – 3XL
Price Range | $25 (tank top) – $68 (sleep set)
For the perfect affordable loungewear, look no further than Pact’s organic sleepwear. All Pact apparel is made with GOTS certified organic cotton in fair trade factories. And we’re big fans of Pact’s easygoing styles for everyone who loves sleeping in undies and basics (we see you!). I’ve had my eye on the Staycation Sleep Pant and Staycation Short Robe for a while because the one perk of WFH is making little cozy moments during stressful deadlines or meetings. (It’s not quite a staycation, but a girl can romanticize, right??) The brand did me one better and sent me the set along with the Cool Stretch Cropped Lounge Tank and Short set, and the Cool Stretch Lounge Jumpsuit which is basically everything my puttering-about-the-house dreams are made of. The one thing all of these pieces had in common is that they feel like your favorite, well-worn tee while looking structured and stylish. 10 out of 10 for this carbon-neutral brand for getting it exactly right.
organic cotton sleepwear is as comfortable and soft as it is sustainable and affordable.2. MATE The Label
Size Range | XS – 3X
Price Range | $48 (sleep tank) – $98 (sleep pant)
MATE the Label’s sleepwear pairs snuggles and sustainability, working solely with eco-friendly fabrics in downtown Los Angeles. Their sleepwear is made from 70% TENCEL™ Lyocell and 30% organic cotton, and it feels as effortlessly cool as their models make it look. I tried the Tencel Sleep Tank, Shorts, and Pant in Truffle, and I’ve already had to wash everything three or four times because I keep reaching for them again and again. The fit is kind of slinky and loose without making strange shapes or feeling bulky. Plus, sleeping in them is perfect for anyone who runs hot. I have gone from bed straight to the yoga mat to a dog walk multiple times, swapping out the bottoms for cut-offs if I needed to run to the store. The climate-neutral brand has also achieved a certified B Corp status (you can read more about their sustainability initiatives in their yearly impact report). While this brand is a bit pricier than I’d usually like, I can see that the cost-per-wear already pays for itself.
3. Boody
Size Range | XS – XXL
Price Range | $18 (chunky bed socks) – $90 (robe)
Boody’s garments, including its sleepwear collection, are crafted from viscose derived from organically grown, nontoxic bamboo. This means I was expecting super-soft, highly breathable, and hypoallergenic fabrics that feel so good on the skin — and the brand delivered. I tested out the Goodnight Raglan Sleep Shirt and Shorts, and these were hands down the most cooling fabrics of the bunch. The material reminds me of a performance fabric, only without the PFAS! The top is definitely a heavy hitter imho, and can easily go from sleep to day wear to the gym. I got the set in a beautiful pale gray-blue called Dove, but I love all of Boody’s colorways, which are a mix of neutrals and muted pinks and greens. Lightweight, with a loose, elegant drape to the fit, these are big winners that I’ll reach for again and again.
4. Under The Canopy
Size Range | XS – XL
Price Range | $13 (swing tank) – $90 (organic waffle robe)
Under The Canopy’s sleepwear collection is luxe, buttery soft, and’ll have you snoozing in serene comfort all night long. When I put on the Organic Tapered Jogger, Organic Swing Tank, and Organic Short Robe I truly couldn’t believe the quality of these pieces at their price point. Everything is cozy and warm, with a structure that looks and feels well-made. The relaxed fit with no tags is especially clutch for anyone sensitive to that sort of thing. These pieces are all available in complementary colorways so you can easily go monochrome or mix and match for a look that feels like wearing sweats but looks like a fancy lady about to have tea on her vacation veranda. Under a…canopy, perhaps?
5. Coyuchi
Size Range | XS – L
Price Range | $78 (nightgown) – $148 (robe)
I bought my mom a robe and nightgown set from Coyuchi years ago and I’ve been itching for my own ever since. Their sleepwear is just exactly what I’m always longing for as a comfort-seeking minimalist. I tried the Isla Organic Cotton Nightgown and Isla Organic Cotton Robe in surf chambray, and they are just as gorgeous in person as they are online. There is something timelessly romantic about this set — it feels ideal for a summer weekend morning spent making pancakes and then eating them in the garden. The brand’s breathable organic cotton pajamas are GOTS and MADE SAFE certified, and sewn in a factory that recycles 98 percent of its wastewater for the ultimate sustainable snooze. Plus, Coyuchi makes organic cotton bedding so you can upgrade your whole sleep routine however you please. The TGT team also loves their cozy robes made in a variety of weights so you can enjoy being wrapped up in soft, organic comfort no matter the season or region!
6. This is J
Size Range | XS – XXL
Price Range | $41 (top) – $163 (sleepwear set)
Make way for This is J and its wide selection of stylish patterned loungewear and sleepwear for the whole family. They have so many styles and prints it was actually kind of hard to choose! I ended up with the Oversized Tee and Harem Pant in stripes, which is definitely on the mellower side of their options (but more in line with my closet!). If you don’t know about bamboo fabrics, here’s the deal: Bamboo is soft. Soft, drapey, and cooling. It reminds me of performance fabrics — only without the PFAS ruining the party. Whether you’re on the hunt for sustainably made PJs, robes, or even maternity wear, there’s something at this brand for everyone. Each garment is handmade thoughtfully in Canada using high-quality bamboo viscose which is moisture-wicking and soft to the touch. Everything is machine washable and dryer friendly, so these beautiful patterns will remain bold and won’t pill as you live in them!
7. Quince
Size Range | XS – XL
Price Range |$70 (pajamas set)
Quince is one of our all-time favorites for finding high-quality, luxury garments at affordable price points, and the 100% European Linen Long Sleeve Pajama Set is a must-have for my Coastal Grandma capsule dreams. There are four colorways that all come with elegant contrast piping to give just the right amount of structure to the lived-in coziness that linen is known for — rumpled but chic. This set is generously sized, so I wasn’t having to readjust anything while I slept or lounged with my coffee. The feel is lightweight and ultra-soft, but there’s probably enough fabric to make these feel like more of a transitional season set for me than one for the super hot or very cold months. Then again, when you love something enough, you’ll always find a way to make it work!
8. Clementine
Size Range | XS – XL
Price Range | $55 (oversized silk scrunchie) – $487 (silk robe)
Designed in Los Angeles from a desire to create organic sleepwear that won’t harm you (no chemical washes, microplastics, or pesticides here!) — and could actually offer health benefits, Clementine Sleepwear is a true standout when it comes to holistic luxury. The 100% organic mulberry silk and nontoxic dyes never go through stripping chemical washes, leaving them rich in natural amino proteins that help heal skin and restore hair. Anyone prone to breakouts, rashes, or unruly bedhead will particularly love these smooth, soft products. I tried the Organic Silk T-Shirt Dress in pearl white (which has a chic, oversized fit and felt like a dream), and the Organic Silver Ion Silk Sleep Mask which is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal, and aids in accelerated healing and tissue regeneration — ideal for anti-aging benefits and treating scar tissue. Both come in their own storage box made of FSC certified and recyclable materials. The boxes not only protect the silk, but opening them to get out the sleep mask each night made me feel especially fancy.
9. Organic Basics
Size Range | XXS – XL
Price Range | $56 per piece
Certified B Corp Organic Basics is all about sustainability plus longevity — and since I’m often wearing my jim jams through the night and into the next day, this is essential for me! Founded in Denmark in 2015, these sustainable sleepwear pieces are not only a classic style that will withstand any trend cycle, but are also low on waste and impact. The fabric is a blend of organic cotton and TENCEL™ Modal, a conscious mix of natural fiber with a recycled one that creates the smoothest, silkiest feeling against your skin. I’m wearing the Core Sleep Shirt and Pants in pink stripe, which is super cute in person while also reading like “I got dressed for this!” on Zoom meetings. Basically perfect.
