15 Best Pajamas for Summer Nights 2025

Made from 100% Peruvian Pima cotton in a lightweight seersucker, the Alice Shorts Set feels crisp and breathable — in our testing the tie-strap top and pocketed shorts were ideal for hot nights and practical lounging. Our experience shows notable drawbacks: several users reported significant shrinkage even when following care instructions, and the $108 price combined with limited colorways may make it feel pricey for some. If you value true Pima softness and seersucker texture, this set performs well but demands careful laundering and size consideration.

This short sleeve top and boxer set blends Peruvian Pima cotton with modal for a super-soft feel that we liked in our testing, offering a classic look and comfy fabric against the skin. Our experience shows fit caveats: the shorts run small and the sleeves can feel snug, so sizing up may be wise, and the brand recommends cold wash and hang-dry care rather than machine drying. Priced at $120 with a 7/10 score, it’s comfortable and refined but requires careful sizing and maintenance to perform its best.

The Camille Nightgown stands out in our roundup for its 100% cotton lawn, venise floral lace, and pintucking — during our review we loved how breathable and elegant it feels on warm evenings. We found the full button-front placket is practical for nursing, and its quality helped it earn an 8.5/10, but our experience shows caveats: it runs large and the lace inset can feel rough or itchy for some wearers even after washing. At $76 it’s a refined, breathable pick if you size down and tolerate textured lace.

These silk pajamas earned their high 8.5/10 rating by delivering a truly luxurious feel — the 22 momme silk is notably durable and sumptuously smooth, and in our testing it kept temperature regulation refined on warm nights. We found the fabric wrinkles easily and requires delicate care (hand wash only), which combined with the $109 price makes it more of an investment piece than an everyday set. If you value elegance and sumptuous silk, this set rewards careful maintenance and adds a refined touch to bedtime.

Eberjey’s Gisele Short PJ Set delivers buttery-soft modal fabric and a classic design that feels premium in the hand — during our review the set retained softness after machine washing and felt very comfortable for summer nights. While not the most economical choice at $193.52, the set earned a respectable 7.5/10 for style and comfort, though practical issues cropped up: the shorts run short for some wearers, the top’s buttons can come undone easily, and the waistband sits higher than expected for some body types. If you want a stylish, soft splurge, this is a polished pick with a few fit caveats.

In our testing the Washable Silk Pajamas deliver an unmistakably luxurious sleep experience: the silk feels soft and smooth against skin and breathes well, helping temperature regulation on warm nights. We found the fabric’s moisture-wicking properties enjoyable for summer, but during our review the high $288 price and delicate care requirements (hand wash only) tempered the value — this earned a respectable 7.5/10 in our guide. Practically, it’s a gorgeous splurge for special nights rather than a low-maintenance everyday set.

The Cotton Rib Boxer is a lightweight, soft cotton option that hugs the body comfortably and breathes well during hot nights — during our review we appreciated the stretchy, non-constricting feel around the thighs. That said, our experience shows a practical annoyance: these boxers tend to ride up the thighs, which can be distracting while sleeping or lounging. At $24 and a 6.5/10 score, they’re a wallet-friendly, casual pick if you prioritize softness and stretch and don’t mind readjusting occasionally.

If you want an affordable, breathable sleep set, the Joyaria bamboo pajamas feel luxuriously soft against skin and do a solid job wicking moisture on warm nights — in our testing they stayed cool and comfortable. We found the machine-washable fabric convenient for everyday wear, but our experience shows durability can be a concern: some users reported tiny holes after minimal use, and the top runs long in smaller sizes. With a $37 price and a 7/10 score, it’s a budget-friendly option if you can accept possible longevity trade-offs.

The Cherrydew bamboo set stands out for its exceptionally soft viscose fabric and relaxed, elegant silhouette — in our testing the button-up style felt easy to sleep in and effortless to slip on. We found the relaxed fit and moisture-wicking bamboo great for warm nights, though our experience shows some durability and fit annoyances: elastic waistbands have been reported to twist over time, sizing runs inconsistently, and the fabric can shrink if not handled carefully. Priced at $37.99 with an 8/10 score, it’s a comfortable, stylish choice if you mind the occasional upkeep.

The Women’s Short Pajama Set is our top-rated choice at 9.5/10 for summer — in our testing the CloudWeave™ bamboo fabric felt exceptionally soft, breathable, and effective at moisture-wicking during warm nights. We found the elastic waistband with drawstring and added pockets especially practical for lounging, though sizing runs a bit small for some and there can be slight shrinkage after washing. At $34.30, this machine-washable set delivers outstanding comfort and value if you size up for a relaxed fit.

Budget-minded shoppers will appreciate the Amazon Essentials Women’s Pajama Set for its soft cotton fabric and machine-washable convenience — at just $16.03 it’s an obvious go-to for everyday lounging. In our testing we found the set breathes well for warm nights, but the cheaply sewn waistband and fit inconsistencies hurt comfort, which explains the middling 6/10 score. If you want something inexpensive to rotate through the wash bin, it’s practical, but expect to replace it sooner than higher-end picks.

The Linen Shorts Pajama Set is a durable, breathable summer staple made from 100% European linen — we found it excellent at airflow and cooling during warm nights, and appreciated the relaxed fit, elastic waistband, and handy pockets. In our testing the linen did start out a bit stiff and wrinkles easily, so expect a break-in period and some upkeep if you prefer a smooth look. At $59.90 and a 7.5/10 score, it’s a dependable, low-maintenance machine-washable option if you like natural fibers and don’t mind the textured, lived-in feel.

The Whipped Henley seduces with an incredibly soft micro modal that feels luxurious from the first wear — during our review we admired how lightweight and breathable it is for warm nights. Our experience shows the fabric’s major drawback: it’s delicate and can stretch out over time, which is a notable trade-off given the $128 price and a modest 5.5/10 score. If you prioritize a silky, modern feel and handle garments gently, it’s a soothing choice; otherwise the durability concerns may push you toward sturdier options.

The Moisture Wicking Cami Nightgown impressed us in our testing for summer: lightweight viscose feels soft, breathes well, and reliably wicks sweat so you stay dry through hot nights. We found it’s quick-drying and travel-friendly, earning a solid 8/10 for practical cooling, though our experience shows trade-offs — the lack of adjustable straps and sometimes-uncomfortable built-in shelf bra affect fit for some wearers. Also, machine drying can cause static, so air drying keeps the fabric performing at its best.
