Satin is a wonderful fabric in cold lingerie. On the outside, the fabric is satin-smooth, and on the inside, it is combed cotton. It is easy to turn over in bed, and the cloth gives little or no resistance between the sheets when sleeping. It’s also wonderfully warm.

Brushed backing silk is used for a tiny proportion of sleepwear makers because it is hard to come by, particularly in India. Since I first introduced cold jammies to the Nykrfaa Nightwear range a few years back, I needed something special to identify our brand from its competitors. It took time, but I did find brushing back silk manufacturers in these other places.

Why then should someone focus on new pyjamas?

Satin with such a brushing back is a composite material. A superior, and generally stronger, the product is produced by combining two different materials. Satin is being used outside but has a thicker, deeper look with such a light sheen on one edge. Four threads have been used to make satin. On the underside of the textile, wool is glued to satin. Cotton is a natural fibre that is lightweight, soft, and comfy, making it a great choice for sleeping. Moreover, it makes the body flow and is less unlikely to cause irritation or rashes, notably when applied loosely. Cotton is much more effective at controlling the temperature.

What is the significance of the name Brushed Back Satin?

Brushing is a fabric finish process that increases the surface filaments. It’s the linen inside too that’s brushed. The cotton inside the material is physically brushed, wherein the incredibly fine iron swept meticulously brushes the fabric to create a perfect fibre from the interwoven yarn, resulting in enhanced suppleness on the fabric’s surface that is extremely comfortable against the skin and free of itchy. This procedure is used for generations. Brushing had to be done without dry, spikey tops of thistles. Its brushed cotton creates enlarged fluffy strands that trap air particles, enhancing the fabric’s insulation properties while also not burning you.

Satin used to be the most favoured upholstery fabric. Satin had been used to cover the magnificent upholstery in the Royal palace by French King Louis the fifteenth – so you can say it was a cloth for royal families! Satin underwear draped the entire bodies of Parisian girlies into the 1900s, as it was not broadly employed for dressmaking. Fast forward to this year, and the silk is still associated with luxury, but its assembly line and appearance have advanced significantly.

Pyjamas come in a choice of forms and fabrics. Some people are naturally richer or nicer than others. What you’ll be seeking is something that’s reasonably priced, soft, and cozy, but that traps and keeps your organic body heat closer to you since your rest.

Let’s all have a look at some more pajamas options then see how they stack against Brushed Back Satin…

Part of what makes a pair of pyjamas look amazing on you is your own self-love and comfort level. If a person’s skin is prone to suffer from skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, experiencing menopausal heatwaves and night sweats or are prone to acne break-outs then the harsher materials like wool might be more irritating than they are worth. People with sensitive or overly dry skin usually need to be particularly wary of materials like wool and the synthetic engineered material, polar fleece, for instance. On a positive note, wool is a natural fiber like cotton, which is usually more expensive but will last a lifetime if cared for properly.

Flannel is a woven cloth made from cotton. When it comes to pyjamas, very dense, heavy flannel is warmer than the cheaper department store alternative to the flimsy, tissue-weight flannel fabric.

Cotton isn’t always woven into flannel and some cotton can be quite warm if it is tight-fitting, often not preferred in sleepwear. Silk is another lightweight, warm natural fibre and is best woven into thermal knit fabrics for winter sleepwear. Silk is hypoallergenic and an excellent insulator, but it is very costly. Cotton is almost as warm as silk when woven and is affordable.

Here are some questions which run through your minds: 

Is satin smoother than silk?

Silk and satin are both smooth and soft. Satin generally has a glossy sheen to the outside and is dull on the reverse side. Silk has a slightly shimmering effect on both sides of the fabric

What is the least breathable fabric?

Nylon, synthetic material is the opposite of breathable. It is designed to repel water, it traps heat and sweat against the skin

Why should you wear pyjamas to bed?

Pyjamas cover your legs and protect your legs from cold during the night. While adding more blankets to the bed during winter having warm pyjamas during cold nights alleviates the need for heavy blankets or electric blankets which can overheat the body. When you toss and turn during your sleep wearing pyjamas at night lowers the risk of getting a cold or flu.

Why are silk pyjamas so expensive?

 The silkworms only live until they have cocooned themselves into their silken wrapping.

Should I wear a bra while sleeping?

There is nothing wrong with wearing a bra while you sleep if that’s what you are comfortable with. It will not stop the breast from growing or cause breast cancer. Best choose a lightweight bra without underwire.

Is it healthy to sleep naked?

If sleeping naked helps you get the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep each night, then it’s worth trying.

A comment I hear a lot from women is “I am way too tired to care what clothes I choose to wear to bed. I manage to brush my teeth, wash off my makeup before passing out on the pillow. I’m not thinking about pyjamas.”.

Feeling good on the inside sometimes comes from looking good on the outside. Wearing your partner’s T-shirt or polar fleece sweater to bed doesn’t necessarily do much for your self-esteem.

If you don’t take care of yourself – then who will?

Sleepwear is not only something we put on before getting into bed: it is a fashion statement and something to lounge around in on a cold winter’s night or that lazy Sunday morning breakfast.

I challenge you to find something that you feel good in to wear to bed. Upgrade to brushed back satin pyjamas. I bet you will feel better and sleep better. Treat yourself!
