As a 33-year-old grown-up woman, I find myself investing in three things lately: Retinol (duh), a good haircut, and supremely soft pajamas. I’m far too old to mess around with sleepwear that doesn’t make me feel like I’m living in a cloud. Life is too stressful, too tiring, and too overwhelming to not feel like I’m in heaven every time I’m finally able to get some sleep. You feel me?
The problem is that there are so many pajamas out there that claim to be soft, but they’re posers. They pill after two washes. They end up making you feel hot and stuffy and stick to your thighs (ugh). They fall apart in the dryer because they’ve decided to ruin your life. But not these pajamas. After rigorous testing and research, we present to you the softest pajamas on the internet actually worth your hard-earned cash.

What to Look for in Soft Pajamas: What’s the Best Material?
It really depends on your personal preference, but the softest materials for pajamas are silk, Pima cotton, Tencel Modal, and cotton flannel.
To my surprise, creating my own A-list celebrity sleepwear vibe was not that difficult. With the rise in loungewear’s popularity, sleepwear seems to have gotten an upgrade right along with it! Sites like Aerie, Intimissimi, and SKIMS are teeming with crisp cotton, luxe silk, and barely-there boxer sets at reasonable price points. Suddenly, my dreams of looking less zombie-like when making my morning coffee were becoming a reality.
Ahead, find 15 pairs of PJs to add to your sleepwear drawer, with many tried and tested by our editors.

She said in her annual gift guide, “I would buy these striped pajamas in every one of the available colors—that’s how good they are. Instead, I’ll choose a few for myself and send sets to my fellow lovers of all things cozy.” I couldn’t agree more with Oprah! I’ve been sent a bunch of pajamas from brands (including this one), but the softest pair definitely goes to Cozy Earth. I was taken aback by how comfy these pajamas felt when I first slipped into them and how they still feel after a couple of washes. TBH, they’re the one pair of pajamas I dread changing out of.
