The warmest pajamas for women in winter are full-coverage sets, long sleeves and full-length pants, layered with a robe and slippers so you can add or remove warmth. Eberjey's pajamas aren't fleece; for winter we make flannel sets, long-sleeve TENCEL™ Modal sets, robes and sherpa slippers.
Below: what actually makes pajamas warm, how the main fabrics compare, our warmest pieces, and how warm your bedroom should be. Eberjey prices and sizes were checked on eberjey.com on October 7, 2026.
What makes pajamas warm?
- Coverage. Long sleeves and full-length pants cover more skin than short sets. The Gisele Crewneck PJ Set adds cuffs at the wrist and at the hem of the pant.
- Fabric. Flannel is a napped fabric: Merriam-Webster describes cotton flannel as "a napped cotton fabric of soft yarns simulating the texture of wool flannel." A smooth knit like TENCEL™ Modal feels lighter.
- Layers. A robe and slippers let you add warmth in the evening and take it off when you get into bed.
- The room itself. The Sleep Foundation says the best room temperature for sleep is approximately 65°F (18.3°C), so very warm pajamas in an overheated room can leave you too hot.

How warm should your bedroom be for sleep?
The Sleep Foundation puts the best room temperature for sleep at approximately 65°F (18.3°C). If your room is colder than you like, add layers, a robe in the evening, slippers on cold floors and an extra blanket, rather than pajamas so heavy that you overheat once you are under the covers.
How do you layer for a cold bedroom?
- Start with a long-sleeve, full-length set in the fabric that suits how warm you sleep.
- Add a robe for the evening and take it off before bed.
- Wear slippers on cold floors.
- Adjust your bedding before you change your pajamas: a blanket is easier to remove in the night than a heavier set.
