Why Should You Buy Eco-Friendly Pajamas?
Pajamas may not initially seem like a source of environmental and ethical harm, but as with every aspect of fashion, even simple sleepwear can hide a boogeyman under the bed.
Perhaps the biggest problem with PJs is how ubiquitous they are.
After all, how many do you really wear (and how many gaudy sets did Grandma give you over the years, only to collect dust bunnies)?
Because pajamas are a quick consumable, they’re often cheap and low-quality. This equates to sweatshop-like factories and overworked, exploited workers (AKA fast fashion).
According to the EPA, in 1980 the world generated 5 billion pounds of textile waste. By 2014, the amount was a shocking 32.44 billion pounds, and we’d bet the house that that number has only increased since then.
Which brings us to the issue of the fabric.
Most commonly, pajamas are made of one of the least eco-friendly materials: cotton, which unless grown organically, is one of the most water-intensive (and water wasting) crops. Not to mention the residual chemicals in the non-organic fibers.
Other common pajama fabrics are polyester, fleece, rayon (which requires tons of chemical processing), and silk (whose farming raises ethical concerns – watch this video for the skinny on silk vs peace silk).
All in all, that puts us in quite the paJAMa.
How We Found The Best Sustainable Pajamas
Even though they aren’t seen as often, they’re worn more than anything you probably own. That’s why good quality sustainable and ethical pajamas are just as important as other sustainable and ethical fashion garments.
Here’s how we sifted through camisoles, robes, and nightgowns to find the best eco-friendly and ethical pajama brands.
Materials:
The best of the best in sustainable sleepwear is that made with sustainable fabrics: natural, organic fabrics or closed-loop processed cellulosic fabric.
This means we look first for materials like 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.
Look for recycled polyester instead.
- Certifications: OEKO-Tex 100, GOTS Certified, Global Recycle Standard (GRS), Better Cotton Initiative (BCI)
Supply chain & labor practices:
This deals with a brand’s social responsibility across the whole manufacturing process, from raw material sourcing to fabric processing to final sewing or knitting.
Ideally, brands can trace all their raw materials to the original source and are transparent about their factories.
We understand not every brand is 100% perfect, but it’s the honesty, willingness to improve (and then actual improvement over time) that we look for.
Third-party audits and certifications to back up any ethical claims made are also huge, as that’s the best defense we have against greenwashing.
- Certifications: Fair trade, B-Corp, Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP), Business for Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), Social Accountability International (SA8000).
Green business practices:
This is our catch-all category for other ways a brand works to reduce its impact.
It might include garment recycling programs, reusing textile waste, supporting carbon offset programs, renewable energy-powered factories, closed-loop fiber processing, hand manufacturing techniques, and non-plastic/compostable packaging.
Inclusivity:
Fashion for all! 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.
We also look for women and BIPOC owned sustainable fashion brands.
Community & charitable giving:
Extra points to brands that give back, whether it be time, money, or support for various causes.
Final Thoughts on Sustainable Pajamas
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 in the best sustainable pajamas out there.
As exciting as this list is, remember: 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.
Next to that, try buying used via an online thrift store, though we understand if you think PJs are a little too personal. Still, you might be able to score some new-with-tags.
Plus, keep in mind that you don’t need that many pajamas. Not many people see you in them anyway, so stick to a minimalist wardrobe mindset.
Feel free to groggily share this article with someone who has holey PJ bottoms and could benefit from our best sustainable sleepwear roundup. And for those eco-minded loved ones, consider one of these ethical pajama sets as an eco-friendly gift.
Good night, sleep tight, and don’t let the fast fashion bugs bite!
Pin these:
It’s ‘pyjamas’, not ‘pajamas’.
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.
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.
Thanks for sharing the fair trade pajama brands. It’s so admirable. keep it up.
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.
Hi Sarah, sorry you found the article disappointing. We do struggle to find great ethical fashion brands that cater to sizes over XXL. This list might be better help: https://www.sustainablejungle.com/sustainable-fashion/ethical-plus-size-clothing/
Please do let us know if you happen to find any others on your search that you think are worth including.
Thank you for responding to her comment! I appreciate you taking the time to share another page for plus size, and offer a solution. I need plus size, too, and found this response useful.
Thanks for handling the complaint helpfully and respectfully—it’s a help for others looking for options.
Can you provide any links for buying sustainable and ethical clothing in tween/teen sizes?
Hey there, we haven’t looked into tweens before but that’s a great idea, we’ll take a look and pull something together. Thanks!
