Glorious satin is a luxurious, textural fabric with a high sheen and smooth surface. If you haven’t slept on satin before, you’ve probably worn it in another high-end fashion or home product. So why satin for sleepwear?
This is achieved by a unique sateen weave that produces a flat surface on the top and bottom which feels extremely soft against the skin. This softness provides comfort, but there are also other practical implications. Satin is a non-abrasive fabric and doesn’t cause friction; an important feature, especially for people with sensitive skin and/or who are trying to keep their hair healthy.
Besides, satin looks good. The lustre of its innate fibres catch the light well, and the look is both majestic and inviting. In all the colours of the spectrum, or in elegant and adventurous patterns, a satin pajama set will pamper you and make you feel dressed up.
Benefits of satin pajama sets

The comfort of sleepwear is of utmost importance, and satin delivers when it comes to this. The texture of our satin fabric is smooth, making it gentle to the skin. This is what makes it a perfect fabric to go to bed and sleep in. After a long day, we all want to curl into bed in a comfortable manner and sleep. Satin allows that. When we are asleep, we often toss and turn, and satin helps a great deal in allowing this movement. In contrast, other materials might be rough, deteriorate with movement, or create tightness around our bodies when we move while asleep.
The second reason satin pajama sets offer such a high quality is they help regulate heat. Satin is a breathable material and it is very good at ‘wicking’ moisture away from the skin. This means that it can keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. Not many materials can do this, which is why satin pajamas should be in everyone’s sleepwear wardrobe and why they are suitable for all-year use.
Satin is also known for its hypoallergenic properties. Satin’s smooth fibres can help prevent skin irritations and decreases the likelihood of allergic reactions for those with sensitive skin or allergies. All of these additional properties of satin explains why many people prefer to purchase satin pajama sets for luxurious sleep.
How to care for your satin pajamas

Satin Pajamas with guarantees feeling of luxury. But how do you look after them? Follow these simple steps and you’ll be able to preserve their look and feel for a long time. The first rule is to read the instruction on the care label. Some types of satin can be machine washed, some should only be hand washed, while some are dry-clean only.
If your satin pyjamas are machine-washable, then wash them on a gentle cycle with cold water and a gentle detergent, and never use bleach or fabric softener. They should also be placed in a mesh laundry bag to protect them from the wash cycle.
For hand washing, fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a small splash of mild detergent. Swish the pyjamas in the water (no wringing or twisting!). Then rinse well with cool water, and lay the PJs flat to dry on a towel. Avoid direct sunlight – that is hard on colours.
To iron your satin pajamas, make sure to use a low heat setting and place a cloth between your satin and your iron to prevent scorching. With these care tips, your satin pajamas will look and feel luxurious for years to come.
Styling your satin pajama set

Satin is not just for your pyjamas; it can be worn as loungewear at home, as part of a casual off-duty look. The trick to making any nightwear work as daywear is to accessorise.
Pair your satin pajama top with a pair of jeans or leggings to dress it down, while keeping it pulled together. Throw in some wrist bling and a pair of slippers and you have the ideal way to feel well-put-together, at home with your feet kicked up.
If you’re feeling brave, you can translate your satin pyjama set into daywear. Satin pyjama pants are pairable with a button-down shirt and blazer for a fun, office-appropriate ‘I’m totally wearing pyjamas today’ ensemble. Or, the satin pyjama top can be tucked into a high-waisted skirt for an equally feminine but far more sophisticated look. The point is to offset the soft-spoken texture of the satin with more crisp silhouettes.
Don’t forget extras! A pair of simple sandals or mules will pair well with your satin pajama set. Or try adding a statement handbag – and pull it all together with a pair of fun earrings. Play around until you find a look that feels like you.
