Hi friends 👋
Let’s talk about something wildly underrated: what you wear to bed. If you’re like me, you’ve probably spent way too many nights tossing the doona off and pulling it back on again like you’re in some kind of sweaty sleep ballet. And if you're someone who sleeps hot - whether it's your natural body temp, hormonal shifts, or the joys of perimenopause - bamboo sleepwear can make a big difference.
That’s exactly why I created Chilli & Charli – and why we’re so obsessed with bamboo pyjamas for hot sleepers.
So, why bamboo?
Because not all fabrics are created equal, and most sleepwear isn’t doing us any favours. Cotton? Cute, but holds moisture. Satin? Looks fancy but feels like sleeping inside a plastic bag if you get a little too warm.
Bamboo fabric is in a whole different league – and here’s why it’s perfect for anyone who sleeps warm, deals with night sweats, or just wants to feel like a goddess draped in clouds.
1. It’s actually breathable
Bamboo is naturally breathable and thermoregulating. That means it helps your body stay at the right temp while you sleep – warm when it’s chilly, cool when it’s hot. No more waking up drenched at 3am!
2. Sweat? What sweat?
Bamboo is moisture-wicking, so if you do happen to overheat, it gently draws moisture away from your skin and dries faster than other fabrics. Translation: no more clammy, clinging pyjamas. Just soft, dry, fresh-feeling comfort.
3. It’s kind to your skin (and the planet)
Bamboo viscose is naturally hypoallergenic, antibacterial, and gentle on sensitive skin. It’s also made with fewer chemicals and water than cotton, so you can feel good while you’re… feeling good.
Plus, all our bamboo is OEKO-TEX® certified, which is a fancy way of saying it’s free from nasties.
4. It just feels better
I know this is subjective… but our bamboo sets are so buttery-soft, people genuinely write in to tell us it’s changed their sleep game. Some even say they wear them out of the house – which honestly, I encourage.
Life’s too short to suffer in bad pyjamas.
If you’re done with waking up sweaty, battling the doona, or wearing stiff old cotton that feels like it’s judging you – it might be time for an upgrade.
Our bamboo sleepwear sets are made for hot sleepers, slow mornings, and anyone who wants to romanticise their evening routine. You deserve sleepwear that looks as good as it feels – because self-care isn’t just bubble baths and crystals (though those are cute too).
