As the heatwave continues, getting a good night’s sleep might seem impossible without air conditioning or a cooling fan. While sleeping naked might seem a good solution, it can actually make you feel hotter, as with no fabric to absorb sweat, it lingers on the skin creating a clammy feeling.
Natural fabrics such as cotton, linen and silk can all help to cool you down at night and spare any blushes should you have any midnight visitors too. As temperatures hit the highest on record this summer, if you've found yourself sweating at the thought of bedtime, it’s time to invest in a pair of cooling pyjamas.
Dagsmejan's NATTCOOL Sleep Tech
Scandi brand Dagsmejan's innovative NATTCOOL Sleep Tech pyjamas promise a good night’s sleep. Designed to help regulate your body temperature rather than trap heat against the skin, Dagsmejan’s NATTCOOL sleepwear boasts that it keeps wearers cool thanks to its innovative microlyocell fabric.
Derived from eucalyptus, the fabric is eight times more breathable than cotton and twice as soft, while a touch of Lycra means your pyjamas won't be misshapen after just one wear. The fabric also features moisture wicking technology paired with evaporative cooling to keep your skin dry and cool in even the stickiest of situations - our top pick is the NATTCOOL sleep tech tshirt, £95.90.
The top is available in nine colours and sizes XS - 2XL, you can also team it with matching sleep shorts, £95.90. For fidgety sleepers or those who are sensitive to seams and labels, the brand has also added ergonomic features such as flat, slight front placed seams to reduce friction as you dream.
