Finding a men’s pyjama in a large size 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 large sizes are often limited to basic options with lower-quality fabrics.
At El Búho Nocturno, a Spanish family business with over 60 years of tradition and 3 generations of master tailors, we believe that 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 finish in all sizes.

Why the cut is important in large sizes
A men's pyjama in a large size with a poor cut is by definition uncomfortable: the fabric stretches at the shoulders, sleeves are too short, pants don’t fit properly. At El Búho Nocturno, the cut for large sizes is not a simple proportional enlargement — it is specially designed for each size, with correct proportions for shoulders, torso, and crotch.
The result: a pyjama that fits well, doesn’t stretch, and doesn’t twist during sleep, regardless of size.
The best men's pyjamas in large sizes by season
Summer: short pyjamas in large sizes
For summer, short pyjamas in 100% cotton poplin are the perfect choice in large sizes. Breathable cotton regulates body temperature better — especially important in large sizes where body surface area is greater. Available up to 5XL.
Winter: flannel and velvet in large sizes
For winter, Double-Peach flannel 100% cotton is the most popular option in plus sizes: warms without suffocating, 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, mid-season poplin pajamas are the timeless classic. Light, elegant, and available in plus sizes with the same finish level as standard sizes.

How to choose the right plus size
The most common mistake when buying plus-size pajamas is choosing a size larger than necessary, believing it will be more comfortable. Our cut already includes the necessary width for comfort, so:
- Measure your chest and waist with a tailor’s tape and see the size guide
- If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller one — our generous cut makes the smaller size the right one
- For bathrobes, if you wear them over pyjamas, choose one size up
