What are the Best Pajamas for Hot Weather?

Our signature Printfresh fabric is organic cotton, the ideal material for sleeping. In this buying guide, we’ll outline all the ways cotton is good for hot sleepers, and why the breathable fabric is best for pajamas. 

 

What type of cotton is best for pajamas?

Organic cotton is best for pajamas since it is a sustainably sourced, natural material that is gentle on skin. As soon as we started the line, we knew that we wanted to offer organic cotton. It took us about a year to do the tremendous amount of research, ask the right questions and navigate the process to make sure it fit all of our guidelines. But now, we are overjoyed to be able to offer all of our new pajama designs in organic cotton!


As a consumer trying to decide if organic fabrics are worth the investment, there are two broad categories of facts to take into consideration: the impact on the environment and the social impact. There are many nuances to the environmental consequences of non-organic versus organic cotton. While there are many debates over whether organic is better or worse for the environment, one thing is clear. The damage done by the runoff from harmful chemicals used in the process of making conventional cotton causes significant harm to the workers who grow the cotton and the neighboring communities in which they live. 


For us, the environmental impact of cotton is very important, but it’s the damage done to the communities of growers that lies at the heart of our decision. Growing conventional cotton crops carries many health risks for workers and the surrounding communities. The fertilizers and pesticides used to help grow and protect the crops pollute the community’s water, soil and even the food supply. 


Another key issue in the industry is that large seed corporations hold a monopoly on cotton seeds. We’ve seen (and read about) the devastating effects of these monopolies on communities of small growers all over the world. These commercial, genetically modified seeds are typically more expensive than farmers can afford and are not well suited to the environments they’re grown in, increasing reliance on fertilizers and pesticides. This makes the cotton more expensive, puts communities at risk for illness and increases pollution levels. 


Compounding this problem is the issue of preserving cotton seeds. In traditional cotton production, the seeds from the year’s crop are typically preserved for the next season. Now, because many conventional cotton growers are using genetically modified seeds, this is no longer possible. Due to the GMO seed industry’s patent laws, farmers are required to buy new seeds every year – adding an additional financial burden and further challenging their ability to make ends meet. The result is devastating to small farmers and their families all over the world.



What is the coolest fabric for sleepwear?

Organic cotton is the most breathable fabric for sleeping. Our organic cotton pajamas are good for sweet dreams, especially for hot sleepers, due to their cool and crisp nature. Cotton is lightweight, soft and breathable, which allows for ideal air circulation. Cotton stays cool against the skin so hot sleepers can stay comfortable throughout the night. Along with the material being great for keeping cool, it's incredibly soft, a natural material and feels great on the skin!



What are the best pajamas for hot weather and hot sleepers?

Printfresh pajamas are great for hot weather. Not only is our organic cotton poplin lightweight and breathable, making it perfect for hotter climates, but our silhouettes are also ideal for warmer environments. We recommend a nightgown for hot sleepers, they are comfortable, breezy and easy to layer with. Short sleep sets are also a fine match for those looking for cool pajamas.
