Best Men's Pajamas For Hot Sleepers

If heat, sweat, and discomfort are keeping you up at night, you should invest in better pajamas!

Staying cool and dry are non-negotiables for a great night’s sleep (case in point: according to The Sleep Foundation, the best room temperature for sleeping is approximately 65 degrees Fahrenheit!). So if you’re feeling sweaty and overheated, it can definitely get in the way of your ability to get a rejuvenating night’s sleep. While we can’t control the weather itself or whether we tend to sleep on the hot side, there are plenty of other factors that we can change to make for a better sleep environment — including your pajamas. Here’s how to find the best pajamas for hot sleepers, plus some of our favorite men’s pajamas by Dreamiere.

What should hot sleepers look for in pajamas?

If you’re someone who tends to toss, turn, and wake up in a pool of sweat, you’re probably a “hot sleeper.” If this sounds like you, you’ll benefit from choosing pajamas that are specifically designed to keep you cool.

• Breathable Fabrics: Men who sleep on the hot side should look for pajamas that encourage airflow to regulate their temperature throughout the night. Lightweight, natural materials like bamboo allow plenty of air circulation to help you release heat rather than trapping it close to your body.
• Moisture-Wicking Properties: Similarly, bamboo is also a great choice for hot sleepers because it can keep you dry! This natural moisture-wicking fabric draws sweat away from you so that you aren’t fighting with jamms that stick to you throughout the night.
• Looser Fits: Pajamas that are too tight can trap heat and restrict airflow. In addition to considering the fabric, you might also benefit from choosing looser-fitting pajamas that give your body a little more room to breathe during an especially hot night.
• Minimal Layers: Finally, hot sleepers can also benefit from wearing fewer layers in the night to keep cool. Consider a lightweight short-sleeved shirt and short combo, or even opt for a simple sleep short or boxer brief to fight the heat.

More tips for hot sleepers

• Invest in cooling bedding. Like your pajamas, your bedding choices can make a big difference in your comfort throughout the night. Consider investing in cooling bedding options like bamboo or percale cotton to allow for more airflow throughout the night.

• Take a closer look at your mattress itself. Tweaking your pajamas and bedding can go a long way in keeping you cool. However, if you’re still having a hard time falling or staying asleep due to discomfort, it might be worth investigating your mattress itself. Memory foam mattresses are notoriously bad for hot sleepers since they allow for very little airflow, leading to retained body heat and a rough night’s sleep. Consider investing in a temperature-regulating mattress to keep you cooler.

• Stay hydrated. Hydration isn’t just important for your general health — it also regulates your body temperature! Make sure to stay hydrated throughout the day so that you don’t have to chug a bunch of water right before bed (which might lead to a few too many sleep-interrupting trips to the bathroom).

Conclusion

Hot nights may be frustrating, but wearing the right pajamas and setting up your room to a cooler temperature can go a long way in easing the discomfort. In addition to cracking a window and investing in cooling bedding, these cooling bamboo pajamas from Dreamiere are the ideal fit for men who are hot sleepers. Match with your entire family for comfortable, stylish fun every night of the year!
