What is the best fabric for sleepwear?
The best sleepwear fabrics are soft, breathable, and free from irritating chemicals. Organic cotton is the most popular choice — it is gentle on skin, easy to wash, and available in lightweight jersey or woven forms. For colder months, brushed organic cotton flannel or merino wool blends provide warmth without overheating. Silk charmeuse is a luxurious option that drapes beautifully and naturally regulates temperature.
Avoid sleepwear made from 100% polyester or treated with wrinkle-free finishes, which can off-gas formaldehyde and other chemicals close to your skin for hours every night. Since you spend roughly a third of your life sleeping, the fabric against your body during those hours deserves as much attention as the food you eat.
ONDU features sleepwear from brands committed to certified organic and natural fibers, so you can rest easy knowing what is touching your skin all night.
