There is a particular kind of morning — the one where you linger a little longer than you planned, not because you're tired, but because whatever you're wearing is too good to leave. The Eberjey Gisele PJ Set creates that morning. It has more than 1,400 five-star reviews. Made from buttery soft TENCEL™ Modal, a fiber made from wood sourced from responsibly managed forests, the Gisele is simple to sum up: it delivers. It is made to stay soft wash after wash.
What exactly is the Eberjey Gisele PJ Set, and what makes it different?
The Gisele PJ Set is Eberjey's hero product — a long-sleeve top and full-length pant crafted from their signature TENCEL™ Modal fabric. Introduced in 2005, it is the set Eberjey calls "the PJ that started it all."
What separates it from most sleepwear on the market comes down to the fiber. TENCEL™ Modal is produced by Lenzing, an Austrian fiber company, using a highly resource-efficient technology with high recovery rates of chemicals. Eberjey describes the result as silky-smooth and breathable, in a relaxed pant that moves with you all night.
The Gisele set comes in a relaxed, slightly tailored silhouette — not so oversized that it bunches, not so fitted that it restricts. The top has a notched collar and a single breast pocket. The low-rise, straight-leg pant has a thin elastic waistband, and contrast piping finishes the set.
How the Gisele Feels
Think of a well-worn cotton T-shirt that has been washed a hundred times: that broken-in, barely-there softness is the feeling Gisele is made for.
The knit is breathable and temperature-regulating. According to the Sleep Foundation, core body temperature naturally drops in the evening, starting about two hours before sleep.
Gisele comes in long sets and shorter styles, like the Gisele TENCEL™ Modal Shortie Short PJ Set, which Eberjey describes as perfect for hot sleepers and warm nights.
Is the Gisele PJ Set Worth the Investment?
The Gisele TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set is $158. In the sleepwear landscape, this places it firmly in the accessible-luxury tier — above department store basics, below high-end silk sets.
Whether it represents value depends on how you think about cost-per-wear. A set you reach for night after night, for years, can cost less per wear than a cheaper pajama that quickly loses its shape. Eberjey calls the Navy/Ivory Gisele "the kind of classic you'll reach for year after year."
The Gisele's fabric is verified by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, meaning it's dyed with safe and non-toxic dyes. That is reassuring for anyone mindful of what touches their skin all night. According to Lenzing, carbon emissions and water consumption for TENCEL™ Modal fibers are at least 50% lower compared to generic modal fibers.
How the Gisele Fits — and What Sizes It Comes In
The Gisele TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set comes in sizes XXS through XXL; size ranges vary by style, so check each product page. If you prefer a roomier feel, check the size guide before you order.
The top has a relaxed fit, and the low-rise, straight-leg pant has a thin elastic waistband and a 30.5" inseam.
Color selection shifts seasonally, alongside core colorways such as Navy/Ivory and Bordeaux/Ivory. Ivory runs through many Gisele colorways: it carries a soft warmth rather than reading stark white, consistent with Eberjey's overall visual identity.
Why the Gisele Works
The Gisele TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set has a 4.8-star average and more than 1,400 five-star reviews on eberjey.com.
It makes an easy gift. It is part of The Gift Guide, and Eberjey's rose gift box can be added to the whole order for $10.
It is easy to own more than one. With seasonal colorways and prints, you can build a small rotation or match the whole family.
It is made for sleeping. The feel of soft fabric against skin is part of what makes getting into bed feel good. Soft, smooth fabric means one less thing between you and a comfortable night.
It is made for real life. TENCEL™ Modal fibers are made to withstand repeated washing and drying cycles. Eberjey recommends turning it inside out, machine washing cold on gentle, and tumble drying low.
How the Gisele Compares to Other Luxury Pajama Sets
The Gisele competes most directly with other Modal-based sets and mid-range silk sets.
When comparing modal sleepwear, look closely at the details: how the fiber is sourced, how the seams are finished, and how the cut holds up over time.
Against washable silk sets, the comparison is more nuanced. Eberjey's own Inez Washable Silk Long PJ Set ($298) sits above the Gisele: 100% mulberry silk, described as thermoregulating, with a care label that calls for a cold delicate cycle and laying flat to dry. The Gisele's TENCEL™ Modal has a touch of elastane for stretch and can be tumble dried low, which makes it an easy everyday choice, while silk feels a little more special.
Who the Gisele PJ Set Is Made For
The Gisele is made for anyone who has ever woken up too hot, been bothered by rough seams, or worn a pajama that looked presentable but felt like compromise. It is designed for sleeping — not just lounging or photographing — built with the understanding that quality rest is not a small thing.
It is particularly well-matched for:
- Warm sleepers, because the knit is breathable and temperature-regulating
- Anyone mindful of what touches their skin, because the fabric is verified by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100
- Gift-givers, because the top has a relaxed fit and the set comes in sizes XXS to XXL
- Sustainability-minded shoppers, because TENCEL™ Modal is made from wood sourced from responsibly managed forests
- Anyone who has given up on pajamas because nothing has ever felt worth wearing to bed
Eberjey was founded in 1996 by Ali Mejia and Mariela Rovito as a response to a sleepwear and lingerie market that prioritized aesthetics over comfort. The Gisele PJ Set is the fullest expression of that belief — not because it makes a statement, but because it removes every reason not to feel good the moment you put it on.
The Softer Side of the Story
Some things earn their reputation quietly, over years of wear and washing and reaching for them again on a Wednesday night for no particular reason. The Gisele is one of those things. It is buttery soft, made in a temperature-regulating knit, and durable enough to become one of those pieces you think of as yours — the way a favorite mug or a well-loved linen sheet becomes yours. If you have been looking for a reason to invest in how you actually feel at the end of the day, this is it.
