What material for men's pyjamas?
The material is the most important choice. Everything depends on: how warm you sleep, the season, and how your skin reacts. At El Buho Nocturno, we use exclusively 100% cotton in all models.
| Material | Season | Ideal for | Care |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100% cotton poplin | Summer / all year | Those who sleep warm, sensitive skin | 40°C, gentle |
| Double-Peach flannel | Autumn / winter | Those who sleep cold, maximum comfort | 30°C, dry flat |
| Cotton velvet | Winter | Luxury, cold climate | 30°C, caution |
| Cotton jersey | Spring / summer | Active sleepers, freedom of movement | 30°C, dry flat |
Poplin: the classic choice
The poplin pyjamas are the best-selling men's pyjamas worldwide—and for good reason. 100% cotton, lightweight weave, maximum breathability. They get softer with every wash and last for years.
Double-Peach flannel: warm and soft
The flannel pyjamas in Double-Peach quality are brushed on both sides—this gives that soft and warm texture you feel as soon as you put them on. Perfect for Romanian winters. They improve with every wash.
Velvet: a luxury alternative
The velvet pyjamas made from 100% cotton are the premium choice: warm, elegant, and with a beautiful drape. For those who appreciate the best.
What style of men's pyjamas?
Men's long pyjamas
The classic model: long trousers and a long jacket with lapels. Timeless, elegant, and suitable for all seasons. Our men's long pyjamas are available in poplin, flannel, and velvet.
Men's short pyjamas
For summer, the short pyjamas - shorts and short jacket - are the best choice. Maximum ventilation, minimum warmth. Available up to 5XL.
Separate pieces
Prefer flexibility? Pyjama bottoms and pyjama t-shirts are also available separately for mixing and matching.
