Top 5 Best Cooling Pajamas for Women in 2025

If you’re waking up sweaty or tossing and turning all night, you’re definitely not the only one. Many of us, I included, can not sleep very well when we are hot, whether that is with night sweats, hot flashes, or simply running hot. And while there’s no magic solution, what you wear to bed can actually make a real difference.

That’s where cooling pajamas come in. They’re made with breathable materials that help pull sweat away from your skin and keep you cool at night, when your body temperature tends to be more stable.

Are you always bubbling up in sweat at midnight or keeping the covers whipping off in the middle of the night? It is probably time to invest in some new pajamas. And to help you get through the heat, we have listed some of the best cooling sets, including soft bamboo numbers and lightweight cotton blends, to get you through the warmer months.

Best Cooling Pajamas 

1. Evercool® Cooling Pajama Pants Set

These pajamas are designed specifically for hot sleepers who want full coverage without overheating. The fabric feels instantly cool and soft, almost cloud-like, thanks to the brand’s temperature-regulating Evercool® technology. It pulls heat and moisture away from your skin to keep you dry and comfortable all night.

The full-length pants give you more coverage without feeling heavy or stuffy. Both the top and pants are breathable, stretchy, and easy to move around in. They're also low-maintenance—toss them in the wash and they feel just as soft and cool. If you want long pajama bottoms that actually help you sleep cooler, this set does the job.

Pros

• Instantly cool and smooth on the skin

• Great for hot sleepers who prefer full-length PJs

• Soft, stretchy, and non-clingy

• Wicks sweat and stays dry through the night

• Easy to wash, no special care needed

Cons

• On the pricier side

• Limited color/style options

2. Evercool® Cooling Pajama Shorts Set

These pajamas are made for hot sleepers and anyone who wakes up sweaty during the night. They're made from a silky nylon and spandex blend that feels cool to the touch and helps pull heat away from your skin, so you stay comfortable even when the room feels stuffy.

It is lightweight, breathable, and does not cling or trap moisture. The shorts have a comfy waistband that does not squeeze, and the top is relaxed but still put together. The cooling effect remains the same even after several washings, and the material does not stretch or pill.

Pros

• Smooth, cooling fabric

• Stays breathable and comfy all night

• True-to-size fit

• Stays soft after washing

Cons

• Slightly pricey

• Limited color options

3. Dagsmejan Nattcool Air Sleep Tech Slip Dress

The Dagsmejan Nattcool Air Sleep Tech Slip Dress is one of those things you didn’t know you needed until you tried it on. The fabric is made of 100 percent lyocell, which feels immediately cool, similar to a gentle breeze against your skin, even in an air-conditioned room. It is also really good at absorbing moisture, so you do not wake up feeling moist, as is the case with normal cotton.

The fit is relaxed but flattering, and the split hem isn’t just pretty—it helps the dress move with you without clinging. Whether you toss and turn or sleep still, it stays comfy all night.

Pros

• Super breathable and moisture-wicking

• Soft and cool against the skin

• Relaxed fit that allows easy movement

Cons

• On the pricier side for a single sleep dress

• Not ideal if you prefer sleepwear with more coverage

4. Lunya Washable Silk Tulip Dress

The Lunya Washable Silk Tulip Dress blends comfort with practicality. It features long side slits that let your legs move freely as you sleep, and the racerback design keeps your shoulders and arms unrestricted for extra ease.

Made with washable silk, these cooling pajamas hold up well even after repeated washes. Unlike traditional silk, which needs special care, this one is machine washable and still has its soft texture and durability. If you prefer a smooth, crisp look, a quick pass with a steamer does the trick.

Pros

• Made from breathable, machine-washable silk

• Comfortable, flowy design with side slits and racerback

• Maintains softness and shape after washing

• Elegant look that doubles as loungewear

Cons

• Higher price point compared to cotton or bamboo options

• May still require steaming to look its best

5. Cozy Earth Stretch-Knit Pajama Set

The Cozy Earth pajama set is made from bamboo viscose, so it feels super soft and breathable—perfect if you tend to overheat or just want something that feels good against your skin. You can mix and match between shorts or pants, and pair them with short- or long-sleeved tops. All the bottoms come with pockets (always a plus), and the contrast piping adds enough detail to keep things cute without trying too hard.

The inclusive sizing is also great; the size can be adjusted up to 3XL, and they have petite and tall sizes as well. The button-down top makes it more professional, so you might even wear it on one of your lazy mornings or catch a Zoom meeting without switching clothing. The set is one you will never want to come out of.

Pros

• Soft, breathable bamboo viscose helps regulate temperature

• Comes in inclusive sizing, including petite and tall

• Stylish enough for lounging or video calls

• Pockets on all bottoms add functionality

Cons

• Price is on the higher end
  

• Light colors may show wear or stains over time

How to Choose the Right Cooling Pajamas for Women

1. Choose Breathable, Moisture-Wicking Fabrics

The fabric is everything. Try to find materials like eucalyptus (that can also be labelled as lyocell or Tencel), bamboo, as well as moisture-wicking blends (such as nylon and spandex with cooling tech). These materials wick moisture off your skin and cause heat to be released, thus you remain dry and warm.

Avoid: heavy cotton, flannel, or polyester; these materials attract perspiration and trap moisture and heat.

2. Pay Attention to Fit and Style

Cooling pajamas always win because of their easy-fitting, casual styles. Your ideal sleepwear should allow your body to breathe and air to circulate freely. Consider spacious shorts, broad-cut trousers, or loose night gowns, anything that does not adhere to the skin surface or trap heat.

For women who are prone to moving around during sleep, choose styles that are a little stretchy or have little slits so that the fabric can bend along with the body. This will ensure you are comfortable without having to worry about the bunching or twisting that occurs in the middle of the night.

3. Look for Temperature-Regulating Features

Some cooling pajamas use special fabric technology that adjusts as your body temperature changes—absorbing heat when you're warm and releasing it as you cool down. If you're dealing with hormonal shifts like menopause, that kind of built-in temperature control can make a big difference during unexpected hot flashes.

While shopping, look out for the labels that have the words written in them, such as "cooling tech," "temperature-regulating," or "sweat-wicking." They are not there to sound cool, nor are they buzzwords in most cases that mean the fabric is specially made to help you sleep more comfortably.

4. Check for Easy Care

Good pajamas shouldn’t be high-maintenance. Look for options that hold up well in the wash without losing their cooling properties. Bonus points if they don’t wrinkle or pill easily.

5. Don’t Forget Your Bedding

Your PJs are not the only puzzle you have to put together- your sheets, comforter, and pillows also play a part in ensuring you get a good night's sleep. Find cooling-sheet sets that consist of moisture-wicking materials such as Tencel or bamboo, a lightweight comforter with breathable fill, and pillows that are intended to feel cool against the skin. By the time you go to bed at night and surround yourself with everything that draws heat out, you will find you sleep very comfortably in comparison.

Final Take

Nobody wants to wake up soaking wet or toss the covers off in the middle of the night. Cooling pajamas—and the right bedding—are a simple fix: pick breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics in a relaxed fit, look for genuine temperature-regulating features, and layer on cooling sheets, a lightweight comforter, and breathable pillows.

Try a couple of different combos until you find the one that feels best against your skin. Once you nail that sweet spot, bedtime turns into something you actually look forward to. Sweet dreams!
