What you wear for sleeping can have a profound effect on how well you sleep. The fit needs to be just right, and that means the correct sleeve length, body length, fabric, and weight. Of course, things like price and care instructions factor in too.
Sleeve Length – Many nightgowns come in a choice of sleeve length. Sleeveless can be great for summer or if you don’t like something covering your arms at night. Short sleeved gowns are comfortable and great for all seasons. A ¾ length or long-sleeved nightgown is a wonderful way to stay warm. Pick a nightgown for a season or for all year.
Body Length – From hip length to floor length and everything in between, the body of a nightgown can have greatly varying lengths. Choosing the right length for you could be based on warmth, or sleeping style, or how much fabric you can tolerate. If you move around a lot at night you might prefer a shorter nightgown that doesn’t get tangled when you turn over. If it is cold and you like to wrap your feet in an additional layer of fabric, go for a long nightgown.
Fabric – Flannel, silk, satin, cotton, or linen can all make a great nightgown. You should choose based on what feels good against your skin. If you sweat at night you might prefer a breathable fabric like cotton.
Weight – Some people feel soothed by a heavy weight material like a dense flannel, others prefer a very lightweight fabric like silk. Weight and temperature generally go hand in hand so really heavy weight will equal warmer and lightweight cooler.
Price – You can spend $10 or $1,000 on a nightgown. Especially if you are searching online, it can help to narrow down a price range beforehand. This can also help you determine the stores you will shop in.
Care Instructions – Most nightgowns are easy care, wash and dry, but not all. Some need hand washing and line drying. Read the instructions ahead of time to determine exactly how much work maintaining a particular nightgown will be.
Nightgowns are a wonderful sleep garment that can keeping you snuggled and warm or leave your legs free to move around. They come in unlimited varieties from short-sleeved to long-sleeved, from cotton to silk, from dressy to causal. They can be worn all day or just for sleep.
