Sometimes the best Valentine’s Day is the one spent in your pajamas. No matter what – whether you’re celebrating this V-Day with a loved one, or spending the day solo – you deserve to feel your best. So consider this your official invitation to show yourself a little extra self care. Years of rom-coms may have taught us to instinctively reach for itchy lace and uncomfortable designs, but this year, our recs for matching Valentine’s pajamas prioritize comfort. To encourage you to put yourself first, we rounded up comfortable Valentine’s Day pajamas that will actually help your quality of sleep, not hinder it.
We’re firm believers that you can look cute in a Valentine’s Day pajama set while still feeling cozy. As Shelby Harris, PsyD, director of sleep health at Sleepopolis previously explained to POPSUGAR, the materials you wear to bed have a significant impact on how you sleep. “The best sleepwear for staying cool and comfortable at night is made from breathable, lightweight, and moisture-wicking fabrics,” Dr. Harris said. Think cotton, linen, Tencel, merino wool, and anything derived from natural materials like bamboo. You’ll typically want to avoid synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, and rayon, which can make it easier to overheat.
Knowing this, we feel as though you shouldn’t have to sacrifice a good night of ZZZ’s just because your PJs are pink. That’s why we made sure the following Valentine’s Day pajamas will help you feel cute and sleep more soundly on V-Day.
