Here's something we've learned after more than twenty years of helping women find the right pyjamas: the same woman needs very different sleepwear in January than she does in July. That's especially true if you're dealing with night sweats. In a country where the seasons swing as wildly as ours do, one style rarely works all year.
So instead of asking "what are the best pyjamas for night sweats?", it's worth asking "what's the best style for right now?" Our new Georgia Rylan Sweetheart Slumber collection makes it easy to answer, because the same whimsical print (white hearts scattered across a soft teal) comes in a silhouette for every season.
The one rule: fabric first
Before silhouette, before print, before anything else, the fabric has to do the work. Cotton absorbs moisture and holds it against you, which is why you can wake up damp and chilled at the same time. Every Sweetheart Slumber piece is OEKO-TEX® certified bamboo rayon, which is breathable and moisture-wicking, so warmth and dampness move away from your skin instead of settling in. Get the fabric right and every silhouette below becomes more comfortable. (Our Why Bamboo? guide explains the details.)
Warmest nights: the flutter nightgown
When the night sweats are at their most intense, or the bedroom is just plain warm, less fabric is more. The Sweetheart Slumber Flutter Nightgown is sleeveless and flowy, with flutter shoulders that give a little coverage without trapping heat. As a single piece, there's no waistband and nothing to twist or bunch during the night. Air simply moves around you.
Shoulder seasons: the rolled sleeve tee & capri
Spring and fall nights are the tricky ones: cool when you get into bed, warm by 2 a.m. The Rolled Sleeve Tee & Capri Set is the in-between answer. The capri length hits mid-calf, so you get more than shorts without the full warmth of a long pant, and the rolled cuff on the tee is a small detail that makes the set feel finished.
Winter: the long sleeve & jogger
Yes, you can wear long sleeves with night sweats. The key is what they're made of. The Sweetheart Slumber Long Sleeve & Jogger Set gives you full coverage for cold Canadian nights, and because it's bamboo, it doesn't create the heat trap that cotton long sleeves do. You stay cozy when the house is cold and you don't wake up overheated when your body decides otherwise.
A quick guide
- Night sweats most nights, or a warm bedroom: Flutter Nightgown

- Can't decide? Many of our customers keep one warm-weather and one cool-weather style in rotation, so there's always a fresh pair ready.
About the print
We wanted Sweetheart Slumber to feel like a small bit of joy at the end of the day: white hearts on a soft teal, sweet without being saccharine, and grown-up enough to wear for a slow morning coffee. Because it comes in three silhouettes, you can also build a whole wardrobe around it, or give the nightgown and keep the long sleeve set for yourself. We won't tell.
Good to know
Is it okay to sleep in long sleeves if I get night sweats?
In bamboo, yes. It wicks moisture away from the skin rather than trapping it, so many women who run warm find long-sleeve bamboo comfortable where cotton would be too much.
Will bamboo feel cold in the winter?
Bamboo is temperature-regulating rather than simply cooling, so it's comfortable across seasons. Pair the long sleeve set with a cozy robe or bamboo pillowcase for the full effect.
How does Georgia Rylan fit?
True to size. If you're between sizes, size up. Styles run XS through 3XL, and full measurements are in our Georgia Rylan size guide.
Anything else that helps?
Your pillowcase matters too. A bamboo pillowcase doesn't hold heat against your face and neck the way cotton can, and it's a small change many of our customers swear by.
