We’re always looking to get more comfortable, aren’t we? Well, pajamas are a good idea, and eco-friendly pajamas, made sustainably from responsibly sourced materials, are the pinnacle of comfort when at home (combine them with eco-friendly slippers). Look for certified organic cotton, bamboo, modal or even vegan silk – colored with non-toxic dyes. Further, if the brand practices fair trade principles and circularity, nothing like it.
TL;DR: Summersalt is your best friend when it comes to lounging. They use recycled materials from sustainable sources to create gorgeous eco-friendly pajamas.
What is the best cooling fabric for pajamas? Bamboo is awesome, and really keeps you cool and super comfy during the hot months. In fact, bamboo is a frequent material in organic bedding! But we’ve looked more closely at the top brands in the market for eco-friendly pajamas, and made a shortlist for you:
Sustainable Loungewear Brands
1 // Cozy Earth
Price: $165
Responsible production | premium sourcing
Try the Women’s Short Sleeve Bamboo Pajama Set in Stretch-Knit. They’re stylish, comfortable, and bamboo is a renewable plant that makes for the softest material. Cozy Earth has a wide range of options to choose from, in some stunning colors.
2 // Summersalt
Price: From $75
Recycled materials | sustainable sourcing
Summersalt offers “honest pricing”, because there’s no middleman. Which is great! They actually create travel essentials, but also make some awesome luxury loungewear and pajamas. Worth the price.
3 // Sijo Soft Stretch Eucalyptus Jogger Pants
Price: $65
OEKO-TEX certified fabric | ethically made | fair labor
These super soft and comfy pants are made from 95% Eucalyptus Lyocell and 5% Elastane, and are very lightweight. Lovely colors, too!

Sijo Jogger Pants Review: “Soft, cozy, cute. Love these! Looks great, feel great, so soft. I can wear them some the house but also look good ;)”
4 // Printfresh
Price: From $80
GOTS-certified | hand-printed | responsible manufacturing | 100% recycled packaging
Printfresh is a luxury sleepwear brand that makes products with whimsical prints. Their pajamas are made from organic cotton and ethically printed by hand or embroidered in India. Their factories are regularly reviewed by the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (Sedex). Another interesting point is that they transport about 50% of their inventory via cargo ship – to reduce their carbon footprint.
PrintFresh has some cool collaborations with brands such as Lokal Hotel and Pencil and Paper Co..
5 // Hernest Ayla Sleep Jogger
Price: $91
Circular fashion | low waste
Is the name Her Nest? I think so! Hernest is making sleepwear that is “uncompromising on comfort and style”. Their products are the end of their almost-circular supply chain (they have a recycling program), and they are striving to become a closed loop supply chain soon. Their size-inclusive designs are stylish, simple, and designed for long-term comfort.
6 // Mate the Label Tencel Sleep Pant
Price: $98
Organic materials | water-efficient | climate neutral | 1% for the planet
These jogger pants are made of 70% TENCEL™ Lyocell and 30% organic cotton, with an elastic waistband. Minimalist design, stunning colors, cozy material. What more could we want!
Mate The Label Tencel Sleep Pant Review: “I absolutely love these pants. They were my first purchase at Mate the Label and I want them in every color! They’re incredibly comfortable, not too warm, and the pockets are useful. I was worried they may be too long since I’m fairly short, but they’re perfect! It’s also nice to have comfortable sleepwear that’s also stylish :)”
7 // Nest Designs
Price: $72
Designed for Longevity | GOTS-certified | responsibly produced
Canadian brand Nest Designs’ eco-friendly products are inspired by their location in the beautiful Pacific NorthWest. They have lovely collections for men, women, kids, and families. New moms can also try their nursing lines. All the pajamas are made from bamboo or organic cotton.
Nest Designs Bamboo Jersey PJ Set Review: “I love these PJs! I am a Grandma and usually purchase nighties. Decided to change things up and am so glad I did! This fabric feels so soft, gentle and loving next to the skin. I dislike my legs getting tangled up with fabric and was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that is not issue with this fabric. I am finding temperature control an non issue, neither too cold nor too hot. How fantastic is that!! I highly recommend this product!!”

3 // Thought Eco-friendly Loungewear
Price: From £14
Vegan-friendly | recycled materials | GOTS certified organic cotton
Thought’s Ariyah bamboo dashka lounge pants look perfect to me! They are made from viscose derived from bamboo, organic cotton and elastane jersey, and look a bit like the harem pants that were in fashion years ago. At £49.95, this pair of cozy and comfy pants are worth it!
4 // Boody Bamboo Loungewear & Pajamas
Price: From $30
FSC-certified | PETA-approved vegan | OEKO-TEX certified
Boody’s sustainable loungewear is designed in Australia and boasts premium quality and detailed craftsmanship. The advantages of bamboo material is that it’s luxuriously soft, while also being sustainable. Check out Boody’s Raglan Sleep Top along with the Slim Leg Lounge Pant.
Boody Goodnight Raglan Sleep Top Review: “This is a great sleepwear top if you like long sleeves but don’t want to overheat. It’s soft and comfy and moves with you, so if you move a lot while you sleep this is a really nice bonus.”
5 // Kotn Loungewear
Price: From $20
Certified B Corp | certified OEKO-TEX® non-toxic dyes | ethically made
Kotn’s products are very carefully crafted, with a traceable supply chain, what they call “farm-to-table, but for your clothes.” They use Egyptian cotton, linen, ECOTEC cotton, and their packages are made from recycled and recyclable cardboard mailer. Amazing brand to try out!
Sustainable Silk Pajamas
1 // The Ethical Silk Company
Price: $295
Ethically made | fair trade | Block-printed by hand | hypoallergenic
Ethical and cruelty-free practices to extract silk from silkworms? It’s…possible. The Ethical Silk Company makes sustainable silk pajamas from eco-friendly mulberry silk (the silk is extracted after the silkworm leaves the cocoon), and works with fair trade tailors in India to ensure quality and consistency.
Silk has some unique properties that are very good for certain skin conditions, so don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The products are designed in Ireland, and made in India.
The Ethical Silk Company Mulberry Silk Pajamas Review: “I bought them for my mum and they’ve changed her life. She is always going on about them… Best nights sleep shes had in ages and she says her skin feels so smooth.”
2 // Maylyn & Co.
Price: From $130
PETA-approved vegan | carbon neutral deliveries | recycled & recyclable packaging
Not entirely comfortable with silk? Try Maylyn & Co.’s cruelty-free Vegan silk™ fabric, a plant-based alternative to animal-derived silk. They only make vegan silk lingerie, though. But their loungewear is also sustainable, and made from organic modal.
3 // Rifle Paper Co. X Summersalt The Cloud 9 Silky PJ Set
Price: $125
Sustainability
The Cloud 9 Silky PJ Set Review: “My friend had these pj’s in a different pattern and let me know they were available at summersalt as well as rifle paper company.
