13 Sustainable Pajamas & Sleepwear Brands Hitting The Ethical Snooze Button

Amber McDaniel


As ethical and sustainable wardrobe warriors, we’re keen to fill our closets with sustainable clothing brands making it easy to find do-good garments for every eco-cassion—bedtime included!

We’re talking sustainable pajamas for sweet, socially-conscious slumber.

While some prefer to sleep in their sustainable underwear and an old t-shirt, sometimes you just need a good old-fashioned pair of PJs to spend the night in (or day—no judgment).

That’s why we’ve come up with some of the best sustainable sleepwear brands.

Everything we recommend to you on Sustainable Jungle is independently researched and we ask all brands to confirm their claims. To avoid waste, we test products on an as needed basis. This post contains affiliate links. If you buy something through our links, we may earn a small commission. Learn more about why we do this here.

The Dreamiest Eco-Friendly Sleepwear Brands

If your eyes are getting heavy, consider Hernest Project’s sumptuous TENCEL™ PJs that (in our opinion) are as soft on the skin as they are on the planet, thanks to the brand’s admirable carbon commitments.

Pact is a regular go-to for us, and we’d be happy to spend many nights (as we do most nights) in their cozy organic sustainable sleepwear made of fair trade organic cotton.

Channel some magical dreams with the chic and lightweight linen sustainable pajamas sets from MagicLinen, where slow Sundays meet slow, local manufacturing.

Before we get to counting sheep, be sure to read more about how we found which eco-friendly pajamas are worth dozing off in.

About MagicLinen

Price Range: $72–$149

MagicLinen’s eco-friendly sleepwear is pretty darn magical if you ask us—and you should, considering we’ve been crawling into our sustainable bedding (which this brand also makes) in it for some time now.

Linen is their dream fabric, and it’s ours, too, because this lightweight and elegant fabric let us sleep cool and conscious in their Luni Linen Pajama Set even in the hottest months.

And when temperatures drop, as you can see pictured above, we just don our thick and cozy hooded Waffle Robe to keep the chill away. And it works like a dream.

Their women’s minimalist pajamas come as sweatshirts, sweatpants, and long and short sleeve sets. The men’s collection offers the same, minus the sweatshirt and sweatpants.

MagicLinen’s Ethical & Sustainability Practices 

Materials: 

MagicLinen keeps pajamas sustainable and simple with 100% OEKO-TEX certified flax linen, or, in the case of their robes, a linen-cotton blend.

Their take on eco-friendly fabric softener is using stone washing to soften the linen without chemicals.

Supply chain & labor practices: 

Using European flax, everything is made within a small studio in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Carbon commitments & green practices:

Because everything is produced locally, their emissions are kept minimum, and they have full control over production waste.

Everything gets recycled or upcycled into new products, and their small-batch method keeps garment excess almost nonexistent.

Products are shipped in home compostable cornstarch bio bags and even the garment tags are made of compostable linen.

Inclusivity: 

In these sustainable pajamas, women’s and men’s sizes both run XS-XL.

Community & charitable giving: 

Magic is best when shared, so MagicLinen volunteers regularly and donates within their local community.

About Hernest Project

Price Range: $58–$159

Hernest Project’s eco-friendly women’s pajamas feature clean lines and classic styles “made with movement in mind”.

They call it “comfortable and effortless” and we can say in (h)ernest that we agree.

We tested the Ada RESET button-on top and it was love at first snooze. Its boxy fit is both flattering yet flowy (without getting wrapped around us in the middle of the night).

Not only that, but the fabric is SO SOFT. We thought finding motivation to change out of pajamas each day was hard before—now it’s almost impossible!

Hernest Project’s Ethical & Sustainability Practices 

Materials: 

You’ll find sustainable materials like 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton brushed fleece, TENCEL™, recycled cotton, recycled lyocell, recycled linen, and recycled elastane (<2% in any garment).

All fabrics are either bluesign® approved or bear OEKO-TEX certification.

Hernest Project is 100% vegan and their suppliers do not use animal products in dyes or machinery.

Supply chain & labor practices: 

All eco-friendly PJs are made in Portugal’s SM Senra, which offers employees not only a living wage, but food subsidy, bonuses, and more.

We’re pretty impressed by their dreamy transparency, including the number of employees at each location and relevant sustainability certifications.

Their cotton, for instance, comes from Tanzania, where farmers are “guaranteed a premium price”.

Carbon commitments & green practices:

Eco-friendly materials extends beyond the PJs themselves with organic cotton tags, FSC-certified paper cards, and certified home compostable garment protectors and mailers from Better Packaging Co

Fabric scraps are turned into zero waste scrunchies and the RE-Nest Resale platform allows you to ensure your unwanted products make it into someone else’s nest.

Their 2030 Roadmap based on SDGs has them aiming to be carbon-neutral across scope 1 emissions by 2023, and scope 2, 3, and water neutral by 2030. For unavoidable emissions, they purchase carbon offsets.

Inclusivity: 

Finding yourself, being yourself… we’re all about it”, which is why they offer inclusive XS-4XL sizes and a helpful visual size guide to see what products look like on models of each size.

About Maylyn & Co.

Price Range: $120–$250

If you’re looking for sexy pajamas for women, eco-friendly brand Maylyn & Co. bridges the gap between lingerie and more practical sustainable luxury pajamas with their vegan silk chemise collection.

In their words:

“It all began with skin sensitivity to synthetic materials used in clothes. The feeling of being stuck in the fabric.”

Been there!

That’s why we fell in love (and into bed) quickly with the Blueporium Sleepwear chemise we got to try. We’re normally not casual lingerie wearers, so we really appreciate how it’s sexy and flirty while still providing all the essential comfort and coverage.

Plus, this vegan silk feels delightful on the skin. It’s just like real silk—but without the ethical implications (silk) worming their way in our conscience.

Maylyn & Co.’s Ethical & Sustainability Practices 

Materials: 

Maylyn & Co.’s ethical silk pajamas swap silkworms for vegan and cruelty-free silk made of a unique blend of organically-farmed lotus fibers and recycled polyester.

This Persian Lotus silk ™ is designed to maintain a comfortable body temperature.

SOme products feature organic modal fabric.

Supply chain & labor practices: 

We’re not sure where their factory is located, but it complies with ILO guidelines and is subject to regular visits and check-ins. All employees have flex working hours, fair pay, and other benefits.

Everything is finished and packed using eco-packaging and vegan glues in their family-owned studio north of Toronto.

Carbon commitments & green practices:

Every order comes with carbon-neutral shipping and free laundry bags made from rPET. 

Stay tuned for more progress and initiatives in their sustainability report.

Inclusivity: 

For these sustainable pajamas, Canada and US-based customers have access to M to XL sizes. Since each encompasses four sizes, the range spans US 0-12.

Maylyn & Co. donates to organizations that share their values, like One Tree Planted and Thirst Project.

How We Found The Best Sustainable Pajamas & Loungewear

Even simple sleepwear can hide a boogeyman under the bed—especially with how ubiquitous PJs are.

And how many do you really wear?

Because pajamas are a quick consumable, they’re often cheap and low-quality. This equates to sweatshop-like factories and overworked, exploited workers (AKA the fast fashion industry).

That puts us in quite the sustainable fashion paJAMa.

Here’s how we sifted through camisoles, robes, and sustainable nightgowns to find the best eco-friendly and ethical pajama brands.

Materials: 

The most silky soft sustainable sleepwear is made with sustainable fabrics like certified organic cotton (which makes possible the sustainable flannel PJs we love so much!), lyocell, modal, linen, ethical wool, ethical silk, and hemp fabric

Other non-toxic sleepwear might have materials that we regard a little more warily like bamboo (which needs to be processed in a closed-loop way) and fleece. Fleece pajamas are tricky because fleece is typically made from virgin polyester, but recycled materials are better.

Supply chain & labor practices: 

This deals with a brand’s social responsibility, traceability, and transparency across the whole manufacturing process, from raw material sourcing to fabric processing to final sewing or knitting. 

Though not perfect, third-party manufacturing certifications to back up any ethical claims made are the best defense we have against greenwashing.

Carbon commitments & green practices:

Brands can reduce impact through garment recycling programs, reusing textile waste, supporting carbon offset programs, renewable energy-powered factories, closed-loop sustainable processes, and compostable packaging.

Inclusivity: 

It’s important that brands show off their products on real people that everyone can identify with, as well as offer a range of sizes that will fit everyone. 

Community & charitable giving:

Extra points to brands that give back, whether it be time, money, or support for various causes.


Final Thoughts On Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Pajama Brands

Feeling sleepy yet?

Go ahead and rest easy on an eco-friendly pillow knowing we did the work for you so that you can sleep soundly. 

But if you already have perfectly good PJs, don’t feel like you need to replace them just because they don’t have all the eco-credentials.

The most sustainable pajamas are those you already own or those from an online second hand store—though we understand if you think PJs are a little too personal to buy pre-loved.

Keep in mind you don’t need that many pajamas, either. Not many people see you in them anyway, so stick to a minimalist wardrobe mindset.

Feel free to groggily share this guide to ethical pajamas with someone who has holey PJ bottoms.

Good night, sleep tight, and don’t let the fast fashion bugs bite!

  1. I feel the inclusivity term is very misleading. I would never consider a range of xxs to xxl to be inclusive. Even if finding ethical clothing in plus sizes are not easy, your use of inclusivity automatically implies that being bigger than xl is not and never will be an option. Exclusive would be a more appropriate word choice for you.

    Reply
    • Thank you for the feedback Jessica and I’m sorry you don’t find the inclusivity section to be helpful. We simply use this selection to make a comment on what the brands do provide, rather than what they don’t provide but I can see how that could be frustrating. Please do let us know if you find any brands out there that are doing better on sustainability, ethics and inclusivity as we’re always on the hunt for the best of the best.

  2. The lack of size inclusivity in this list is egregious and the copy pretends like people over size XXL just…don’t exist? So disappointing, especially on a list claiming to be about ethical fashion.
