What Are the Best Matching Parent and Kid Pajamas? Mommy-and-Me and Daddy-and-Me Sets

The best matching parent and kid pajamas come in one print in both adult and kids’ sizes, so a parent and child can match without hunting across two collections. At Eberjey, the Gisele (women’s) and William (men’s) Long PJ Sets come in XXS–XXL and the kids’ set comes in sizes 2–10 in the same prints, from holiday favorites like Hollyberry and Mini Bow to a year-round Duo Stripe in True Navy.

Below, we cover which prints pair up, what each pairing costs, how to size a child for a matching set and how to keep the look going after the holidays.

Which prints come in both adult and kids’ sizes?

Matching starts with the print. In the holiday collection, the same print is made for adults and kids in Hollyberry, Santa Paws, Winter Pine, Duo Stripe Holly Red, Mini Bow, On the Slopes and Twinkling Menorah, among others. The easiest parent-and-kid pairing is Hollyberry, a classic holly print in Holly Red/Ivory: the Gisele Printed TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set ($158, sizes XXS–XXL) for mom and the Kids Printed TENCEL™ Modal Unisex Long PJ Set ($72, sizes 2–10) for the child. Eberjey describes the kids’ set as made to match back to the Gisele for a mommy-and-me moment.

For something sweeter, choose Mini Bow in Ivory/Holly Red. Pair the Gisele Printed TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set ($158, sizes XXS–XXL) in Mini Bow with the Kids Printed TENCEL™ Modal Unisex Long PJ Set ($72, sizes 2–10) in the same print. Our Mini Bow print guide shows every piece in it.

The cuts differ, and that’s fine. Eberjey describes the adult Gisele as a button-front top with a notch collar, functional pocket and contrast piping, while the kids’ set has a crew neck top and cuffed pants. In photos, the print is what reads as matching.

What should dad and child wear to match?

The men’s William set uses TENCEL™ Modal like the women’s Gisele and comes in the same holiday prints. Eberjey describes William as inspired by its best-selling women’s pajamas and made to match back to Gisele for a his-and-hers look. For a dad-and-kid pair, the William Printed TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set ($168, sizes XXS–XXL) in Hollyberry matches the kids’ Hollyberry set above, so mom, dad and child can all wear one print.

Choosing one print for the whole household also makes adding people easy later: a new sibling, a visiting cousin or a grandparent can join in without starting over. Eberjey describes William as breathable and machine washable, so it can stay in regular rotation after the photo.

Can you match all year, not just at the holidays?

Yes. Holiday prints get the most attention, but a stripe works any month. The Duo Stripe in True Navy/Ivory comes in all three size groups: the Gisele Printed TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set ($158, sizes XS–XL), the William Printed TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set ($168, sizes XS–XXL) and the Kids Printed TENCEL™ Modal Unisex Long PJ Set ($72, sizes 4–10).

Eberjey describes this stripe as a crisp, classic look, which makes it an easy choice for a birthday, a new sibling’s arrival or a slow weekend morning. Shop every matching set in Family PJs.

How do you size a child for a matching set?

Kids’ TENCEL™ Modal sets run from size 2 to size 10, and Eberjey describes them as a snug-fit style. That matters for sleepwear. In the US, the Consumer Product Safety Commission requires children’s sleepwear sized above 9 months and up to size 14 to be flame resistant, with an exception for tight-fitting garments, because loose-fitting garments are more likely to catch fire. The U.S. Government Accountability Office describes the same rules, noting that they allow snug-fitting sleepwear that is not flame resistant.

So when you choose a size, pick the one that fits snugly today rather than one with room to grow. Our guide to what snug-fitting means for kids’ pajamas explains how a snug fit should look. For the grown-ups, each Gisele and William product page has a size guide with measurements.

What does a matching parent and kid set cost?

Prices are for one set per person. Each extra child adds $72.

How do you get the most out of matching pajamas?

Matching sets earn their keep when they get worn, not just photographed. A few ideas:

• Give them the night before a holiday or birthday so everyone wakes up matching.
• Take the photo early in the morning, in natural light, before the day gets busy.
• Keep the sets in rotation after the season. Eberjey’s care instructions for TENCEL™ Modal call for machine washing cold on a gentle cycle and tumble drying low.
