When you are looking for a gift for a guy, you might not have men’s PJs as the top item on your list, but maybe you should. It is a gift that offers comfort, consideration, and quite often, warmth and affection to the recipient of the gift.
Some of the most popular, and in fact, the most stylish gifts are pajama and robe sets for men. With the different types of men’s pajamas available today, they are far from a garden variety gift. Pajamas are bedtime wear, so how stylish do they have to be? Does the choice of fabric matter? The answer to that question might surprise you.
Men’s cotton pajamas bring a level of comfort and warmth, depending on how the cotton is woven. They can be selected to offer something cool and comfortable for the gentleman to wear in a hot summer atmosphere, or the same fabric might be used to help him cosy up in a windy or cold climate. You can also find men’s cotton pajamas in the drawstring variety, reminiscent of surgical scrubs. These are more casual and relaxed and could double as lounge pants, offering a great way to chill out after a shower or swimming.
Cotton is a great fabric and is perfect for thousands of uses, but they aren’t at the top of the pajama food chain for men’s pajamas.
Another fabric that is highly popular for men’s PJs is silk. Silken clothing has a feel of luxury and wealth that women have always loved, but men are getting on board in big numbers too.
You can get many different silk textures depending on how it is woven. Men’s silk pajamas offer a very light feel to them, and men love that texture and comfort in a big way. Silk wasn’t always a fabric that was known as a ladies selection. Men have worn silk throughout the ages. Middle Eastern sheikhs knew the light texture kept the skin cool in the sand and heat, while royalty saw silk as an extravagance that they richly deserved.
Modern ways of weaving silk on automatic looms have made the cost affordable for everyone making them a luxury that is easy on the budget. Men’s garments such as men’s silk pyjamas are far more readily found and more affordable than ever before.
Surprisingly, men’s silk pajamas aren’t just a luxury that feels good to the gentleman in question. Instead, they are a luxury that can affect rest and sleep quality. Research has shown that what you wear to sleep can help to assure that you get a more sound and restful sleep.
According to Max Hirshkowitz, the director of the Sleep Disorders Research Center in Houston, the quality of your sleep is affected by what you wear to sleep. Hirshkowitz says that silk is one fabric that is hard to replace for sleeping. He comments that silk men’s PJs (or women) keeps you far warmer in the wintertime and far more relaxed in the summer months. In addition, they don’t harbor dust mites such as other fabrics may do. They move with the body and slide as you move in your sleep, meaning that you get more rest when you are dressed for bed in silk.
If there were ever a better reason for pampering yourself just a little, we can’t find it. However, a new bedtime wardrobe may help you get more rest and feel better when you wake, which you might want to keep in mind if you have trouble sleeping occasionally.
First, I feel the weight of the fabric. When purchasing clothing online, I look for any mention of weight and read the reviews to find out. The heavier fabrics are usually warmer – great for cooler weather. The extra weight can add to the overall comfort during the winter months. But, living in Texas, we only have a few months when it might be cold. So, my men prefer lighter weight PJs.
The weave of the material is essential in creating a comfortable pajama. The weave of the fibers is what determines the fabric’s weight and comfort. I tend to stick too tightly woven fabrics. The tight weave creates a smoother texture – perfect for my 6 men!
Fibers are probably the most crucial consideration when looking for comfort. A fabric made from 100% synthetic fibers tends to produce static electricity, which is uncomfortable! And, many people with allergies or skin sensitivities have a hard time tolerating synthetic fibers. I love natural fibers like cotton and silk. The fabrics “breathe” better, and many are hypoallergenic if they are made of 100% natural cotton or silk fibers. There are even organic cotton PJs out there!
If you remember and use my WWF strategy the next time you go shopping for men’s PJs, you’ll be more likely to find a pajama that’s comfortable and itch-free – sure to please the most sensitive skin and the men who want to be comfortable.
