Finding a plus size men’s pyjama that doesn’t sacrifice quality, elegance, or comfort is harder than it should be. Most brands offer their best models only up to XL or XXL, and plus sizes are often relegated to basic options with inferior fabrics.
At El Búho Nocturno, a Spanish family business with over 60 years and 3 generations of master tailors, we believe elegance and comfort have no size. That’s why our entire collection of men’s pyjamas is available from S to 5XL, with the same premium cut, the same quality fabrics, and the same level of finishing in all sizes.

👉 Check the complete size chart to choose correctly. Remember: our cut is more generous than the standard — if you’re unsure between two sizes, choose the smaller one.
Why the cut is important in plus sizes
A poorly cut plus size pyjama is uncomfortable by definition: fabric pulling on the shoulders, sleeves too short, trousers that don’t fit well. At El Búho Nocturno, plus size cuts are not just proportional enlargements — they are specifically designed for each size, with the correct proportions on shoulders, chest, and crotch.
The result: a pyjama that fits well, doesn’t pull, and doesn’t roll up during sleep, regardless of size.
The best plus size men's pyjamas for the season
Summer: short pyjamas in plus sizes
For summer, the short poplin pyjama 100% cotton is the perfect choice in plus sizes. Breathable cotton better manages body heat — particularly important in plus sizes where the body surface area is larger. Available up to 5XL.
Winter: flannel and velvet in plus sizes
For winter, the 100% cotton Double-Peach flannel is the most popular option in plus sizes: it warms without suffocating, is soft on both sides, and improves with washing. For maximum luxury, cotton velvet is also available up to 5XL.
Mid-season: classic poplin in plus sizes
For spring and autumn, the mid-season poplin pyjama is the timeless classic. Lightweight, elegant, and available in plus sizes with the same level of finish as standard sizes.

How to correctly choose your plus size
The most common mistake when buying plus-size pyjamas is choosing a size larger than necessary, thinking it will be more comfortable. Our cut already incorporates the necessary width for rest, so:
- Measure your chest and waist with a tailor’s tape and consult the size chart
- If you are unsure between two sizes, choose the smaller one — our generous cut ensures the smaller size is the right one
- For dressing gowns, if you wear them over pyjamas, go up one size
- Still have doubts? Contact us and we will advise you without obligation
