Men's pajamas

Fabric and comfort

Cotton is the most versatile: it absorbs moisture and breathes. Brushed knit and flannel keep you warm in winter, while viscose and bamboo styles are smoother and cooler in summer. If you tend to overheat, fine cotton or bamboo is a better bet than heavy knit.

The details that make a difference: a drawstring waistband for adjustment, side pockets, flat seams and a soft trim at the neckline. A button-through version is easier to put on with limited shoulder movement, while a pull-on version has no rigid parts at all.

Choose your size by chest and hip measurement, with room to spare - pyjamas are meant to be loose. The collection holds long-sleeved and short-sleeved sets as well as sets with shorts, in sizes up to XXL and beyond. Dispatch in 1-2 working days, free delivery over PLN 199, 14-day returns.

Fabric: cotton jersey is soft and stretchy, woven cotton poplin is cooler and creases less against the body, and knit with added viscose is smoother and lighter. In winter you will find terry styles and knits brushed on the inside.

One more practical note: cotton knit can shrink by a few per cent in its first wash, especially at a higher temperature. If you want a precise fit, wash the set at 30 degrees and keep it out of the tumble dryer.

Which style to choose

The men's pyjamas in this collection - currently 52 items, mainly Key and Henderson - come in two versions: a summer one with short sleeves and short legs, and a year-round one with long sleeves and long trousers. Alongside them are separate bottoms, useful when the top outlasts the trousers.

When choosing, look at the cut first and the pattern second. A button-through top goes on without pulling over the head and works better when the pyjamas double as loungewear. The pull-on version is warmer around the neck and has no buttons to press against you if you sleep on your front.

How to choose your size

To complete the set, men's boxers and men's socks come in useful. Choose your size by chest and waist measurement, comparing the result with the size chart - pyjamas are cut more generously than shirts, so your shirt size does not always carry over.
