“I’ve become picky about the materials I wear to bed, so if I am going to invest in a pair of high-quality pajamas, I want to ensure they’re made from high-quality, natural fibers that are breathable,” says Jessie Quinn, a StyleCaster contributing writer. “The Johnny Was The Carly Pj Set is constructed from 50% cotton and 50% modal (made from cellulose, derived from beech wood pulp) and is buttery soft, breathable, and so cute for any season—even warmer spring and summer months.” This pajama set is also available in seven different colors and prints, including plenty of florals and a fun leopard print that we love.

You know these pajamas are going to be good if Oprah put them on her 2024 Favorite Things list. She said in her annual gift guide, “I would buy these striped pajamas in every one of the available colors—that’s how good they are. Instead, I’ll choose a few for myself and send sets to my fellow lovers of all things cozy.” Commerce editor Katie Decker-Jacoby couldn’t agree more with Oprah! “I’ve been sent a bunch of pajamas from brands (including this one), but the softest pair definitely goes to Cozy Earth. I was taken aback by how comfy these pajamas felt when I first slipped into them and how they still feel after a couple of washes,” she says. “TBH, they’re the one pair of pajamas I dread changing out of. One thing to note from testing them myself is that the Spring Blue Stripe colorway is a smidge see-through.”

Decker-Jacoby is a huge fan of both Tommy John’s underwear and pajamas. For the latter, she suggests the Downtime set for its luxuriously soft fabric blend and gathered waist that doesn’t feel like it’s squeezing your waist or hips. The silhouette is super laidback and flowy, and the design is genius. For those who despise tags that poke into your skin while you sleep or move around, these pajamas don’t have any! And they even have two side pockets! Be sure to check out its cute seasonal prints and patterns, like the flannel options and the tree-covered set.

Let’s address the elephant in the room: this pajama set‘s crazy high discount. The top and bottoms are currently on major sale, starting at $75 for some colorways. If that’s not enough to get you to checkout, perhaps its stretchy, soft, breathable, cotton material will. Do you know what else should do the trick? This set has over 800 shopper reviews and has earned an overall 4.6-star rating. “These are truly dreamy. They are made out of softest material ever and light weight enough to go under a cozy bathrobe without getting too hot not to mention you look put together in lounge clothes,” raved one user.

While you might be shifting away from shopping at Victoria’s Secret because of all the drama, there’s no question that its pajamas still take the cake. Decker-Jacoby has a pair of the modal PJs and dubs them the most comfortable pajamas in her dresser. “I get sent a ton of sleepwear, but I never expected to reach for my Victoria’s Secret pajama set (which was a Christmas gift from years ago) the most often,” Decker-Jacoby raves. “They feel the best on my skin, keep me the warmest, and have yet to shrink or lose softness from going through the wash. There’s just something about these PJs that I gravitate towards above the rest.” She also likes how Victoria’s Secret offers them in short, regular, and long lengths, as well as an impressive 17 (!!) colorways and patterns. “You get the best bang for your buck with this set because they’re much cheaper than the higher-end names on this list, but are arguably softer,” Decker-Jacoby adds.

Material: 90% modal, 10% elastane

SKIMS Soft Lounge Sleep Set

This sleep set literally has “soft” in its name. That’s probably because it’s made from a super soft modal ribbed material that still feels light as a feather. I felt the fabric IRL and immediately rushed to check the tag, so I can vouch for just how good these pajamas feel to the touch. Also, take note of the fact that SKIMS stans have given this top and bottoms duo a near-perfect 4.9-star average rating (from over 1,200 customer reviews). A scroll through the comments section will reveal a whole lot of people describing these PJs as “comfortable,” “soft,” and “cooling.” One wrote, “Never felt pajamas so soft and cozy! Not only are they soft but they are so comfortable on and as someone who tends to get hot these keep me at the perfect temperature. Need in every color.” Did I forget to mention SKIMS offers an extensive size range? Pick up your set in sizes XXS through 4X, and if you’re feeling generous, get another for a loved one!

The brand kindly gifted Decker-Jacoby a pair, and she was in awe of how lightweight and breathable they felt on her skin. “Plus, these PJs are so chic that I could wear them outside of the house (think a pair of pumps or heeled sandals with a cute little clutch or mini bag),” she says.

Decker-Jacoby owns a different pajama set from the brand and can attest to the brand’s cozy, cute, and high-quality offerings. While Lunya’s sleepwear is on the pricey side, the pajamas are totally worth the investment and pieces you’ll turn to for years to come.

This cozy set from Cozy Earth has been one of Oprah’s Favorite Things for years, and it’s easy to see why. The luxe bamboo fabric is ultra-soft to the touch, and the set comes in 14 different color ways. I also love that it comes in both regular and tall sizes. Our editorial director, Gina Vaynshteyn, loves Cozy Earth’s bamboo set when she wants something baggy, comfortable (they’re nice and stretchy, thanks to the 5% Spandex), yet soft as butter. It’s a classic style of PJs with material that truly gets softer with every wash (she’s washed this pair at least a dozen times at this point).

Plus, with thermo-regulating silk, hot sleepers will love this.

I am obsessed with the MeUndies Modal PJ Set . I got my first set over a year ago and still wear it regularly, even though it’s a holiday print. Since then, I’ve stocked up on another pair in the much more versatile black hue. These modal pajamas feature a classic style that feels put together but is still supremely comfortable. I love them because they feel cozy for the cooler months but are lightweight and breathable enough to wear during summer and fall, too.

When I choose pajamas, I always go for a relaxed fit so there won’t be any pulling or tugging as I move around throughout the night. Both the top and pants are relaxed in this set, and the knit fabric is made of a blend of polyester and spandex for a slight stretch. The piping trim on the pants and button detail on the cuff of the top add the perfect touches to make this set look instantly more put-together.
