We’ve all been there: waking up in a literal puddle, frantically kicking off the duvet, and wondering if someone secretly turned the thermostat up to 100. If you’re navigating the “joy” of perimenopause or menopause, your body’s internal temperature gauge—the hypothalamus—is essentially on the fritz. At Cloud Nine Pajamas, we don’t just see you; we are you. That’s why we created our signature Georgia Rylan brand. Designed right here in Edmonton, these aren't just pretty PJs; they are technical sleep-solutions crafted from 95% premium bamboo to help you reclaim your night.

The secret to why Georgia Rylan works lies in the microscopic structure of the bamboo fibre. Unlike traditional cotton, which soaks up sweat and stays damp (leaving you with that "wet chill" once the hot flash passes), bamboo is a powerhouse of thermoregulation. It features tiny micro-gaps that allow air to circulate freely, creating a natural air-conditioning effect for your skin. When the heat hits, the fabric pulls moisture away from your body and evaporates it instantly. It’s the difference between waking up drenched and waking up refreshed.

Beyond the cooling science, we know that hormonal shifts can make your skin feel extra sensitive or itchy. Our Georgia Rylan sets are buttery-soft, hypoallergenic, and designed with a fluid drape that won't cling to your body during a midnight spike in temperature. We believe that better sleep leads to better days, and while we can't switch off the hot flashes for you, we can certainly make sure you stay dry, cool, and comfortable while you ride them out.

Menopause & Sleep

Q. Why am I sweating so much at night during menopause?

A. During menopause, declining estrogen levels confuse the hypothalamus (the brain’s thermostat), causing it to think the body is overheating. This triggers a "cooling response"—the hot flash and subsequent heavy sweating—to dump heat quickly.

Q. Is bamboo really better than cotton for night sweats?

A. Yes. Cotton is "hydrophilic," meaning it holds onto water. When you sweat in cotton, the fabric gets heavy, wet, and cold. Bamboo is moisture-wicking; it pulls the sweat away from the skin to the surface of the fabric where it can evaporate, keeping you dry.

Q. How do cooling pajamas help with hot flashes?

A. While pajamas can't stop the hormonal flash itself, thermoregulating fabrics like those in our Georgia Rylan line help dissipate the heat faster. By preventing heat from being trapped against your skin, the duration and intensity of the discomfort are reduced.

Q. Will bamboo sleepwear help with sensitive skin or "menopause itch"?

A. Absolutely. Many women experience drier, more sensitive skin due to hormonal changes. Bamboo fibers are naturally round and smooth, meaning there are no sharp spurs to irritate the skin, making it the ideal hypoallergenic choice for sensitive bodies.
