Finding a men’s plus size 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 patterning, the same quality woven fabrics, and the same level of finish in all sizes.
Plus size equivalence: quick guide
| Size | Number | Chest (cm) | Waist (cm) | International equivalence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XXL | Size 6 | 108–116 | 94–102 | 2XL / Size 52-54 |
| XXXL | Size 7 | 116–124 | 102–110 | 3XL / Size 56-58 |
| 4XL | Size 8 | 124–132 | 110–118 | 4XL / Size 60-62 |
| 5XL | Size 9 | 132–140 | 118–126 | 5XL / Size 64-66 |
👉 Check the complete size chart to get it right the first time. Remember: our patterning is more generous than the standard — if you’re between two sizes, choose the smaller one.
Why patterning matters in plus sizes
A poorly patterned plus size pyjama is uncomfortable by definition: fabric that pulls at the shoulders, sleeves that are too short, trousers that don’t fit well. At El Búho Nocturno, plus size patterning is not just a proportional enlargement — it is specifically designed for each size, with the correct proportions in shoulders, torso, and crotch.
The result: a pyjama that fits well, doesn’t pull, and doesn’t roll up during sleep, regardless of size.
The best men's plus size pyjamas by 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 — especially 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 large sizes: it keeps warm without overheating, is soft on both sides, and improves with washing. For maximum luxury, the cotton velvet is also available up to 5XL.
Mid-Season: classic poplin in large sizes
For spring and autumn, the Mid-Season poplin pyjama is the timeless classic. Lightweight, elegant, and available in large sizes with the same level of finish as standard sizes.

How to choose your large size correctly
The most common mistake when buying pyjamas in large sizes is choosing a size larger than necessary, thinking it will be more comfortable. Our pattern already includes the necessary ease for rest, so:
- Measure your chest and waist with a tape measure and check the size chart
- If you’re unsure between two sizes, choose the smaller one — our generous pattern makes the smaller size the right one
- For dressing gowns, if you wear it over pyjamas, go up one size
