Why We Love Eberjey Pajamas

While the tailoring is elegant, the fabrication is the standout feature that hooks you. Ever wonder how Eberjey pajamas are so buttery soft? They’re made of TENCEL Modal fibers. What are TENCEL Modal fibers you ask? They are fibers derived from wood. The wood is sourced from sustainably managed forests and carefully balanced with growth rates to ensure the removal of trees to produce the fibers does not outpace forest growth rates. Due to the responsible production process, Eberjey uses at least 50% less water than generic modal production. In addition to consuming less water, they emit at least 50% less CO2 compared to other production practices.

Not only is their production process comforting, the fabric it produces is hands down, some of the most comfortable sleepwear, making it the best sleepwear for women. The Tencel Modal fibers create such buttery soft textures while keeping you temperature regulated and comfortable while wearing these PJ sets or separates. They have long lasting softness and retain their softness after repeated wash - just be sure to follow the washing instructions! More on that in our care guide below.

There are so many beautiful pieces from Eberjey that it’s hard to narrow down which ones are the best sleepwear sets for women but seeing as how we can’t buy everything, we’ve narrowed down the best sets for women below.

The Gisele TENCEL Modal series is Eberjey's signature set. In fact it was the catalyst to Oprah’s iconic Oprah’s Favourite Things. She fell in love with their elegant drapey silhouette and buttery soft feel and needed to share them with the world. Fast forward to 2026 - some things never change and Eberjey still offers this fabrication but in new styles.

We tried but we couldn’t narrow down the best pajamas for hot sleepers to just one set so here are our top picks:

The luxurious, temperature-regulating knit fabric is cool to the touch and drapes and falls in all the right ways, skimming the body in with buttery softness. The temperature regulating knit and the short sleeve shirt and short combo make Eberjey short sets perfect for hot sleepers. 

The Gisele TENCEL Modal Ruffle Cami & Shortie Short Set is cute and cheerful featuring a subtle ruffle hem.

The Gisele TENCEL™ Modal Relaxed Short PJ Set is available in six colours and feature the signature tailoring and piping that make the Gisele series so swoon-worthy. Thanks to the TENCEL™ Modal which not only supports a natural dry feeling through moisture control but it also supports rich colors in fabrics.

The Eberjey Gisele TENCEL™ Modal Everyday T-Shirt and Shorts are a step away from the menswear inspired tailoring, but the fabrication is still the same. Made from TENCEL™ Modal and a touch of Spandex, this super soft fabric is verified by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, meaning it’s dyed with safe and non-toxic dyes. Featuring an open neck, short sleeve design, dropped shoulder, and a relaxed, comfortable fit, this versatile T-shirt pairs well with the Gisele Everyday Pant and Relaxed Short, as well as any of Gisele PJ bottoms. We love how thoughtful each piece is and that you can mix and match.

If you are the goldilocks of sleepers and want a sleep set that's juuuust right, the Gisele TENCEL™ Short Sleeve Cropped PJ Set is for you and perfect for transitional weather when it’s too cold for a short set but too warm for a long sleeve set. The most amazing feature TENCEL Modal has to offer besides the soft touch is the temperature regulating knit, allowing you and your skin to breathe a sigh of relief when you start your wind down routine at night, especially as we head into warmer months. 

Eberjey's signature Gisele fabric is prized for its buttery soft drape, but because it is plant based, it requires a little mindfulness to prevent pilling and stretching. 

To keeo that "first-wear" softness for years, treat them with gentle care.

• Prep: Turn the PJ's inside out before washing. This protects the outer face of the fabric from friction and pilling, and protects delicate details like the contrast piping or ruffle hems. 
• The Cycle: Machine wash on cold on delicate/gentle cycle. 
• The Soap: Use a mild/gentle detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, which can break down the elasticity of the spandex over time.
• The Secret Weapon: Pop these into a mesh lingerie bag before throwing them in the machine to prevent the drawstring or straps from getting tangled or stretched. 

• The Golden Rule: Lay flat to dry or line dry in the shade. Heat is the ultimate enemy of modal and spandex; it causes the fibers to snap, leading to fuzziness and a loss of that signature fluid drape.
• The Realistic Shortcut: If you absolutely must use a dryer, use the Air Fluff or Low Heat/Delicate setting, and pull them out while they are still just a bit damp to air-dry the rest of the way.  

• Fold, Don't Hang: Because Gisele fabric has a gorgeous drape, hanging the pajamas can cause the fabric to stretch out of shape over time.
• The Method: Neatly fold the tops and bottom and stack them on a shelf or drawer. They are naturally wrinkle resistant and will shake out perfectly the moment you put them on.

Oprah, if you're reading this you're not alone. We also consider Eberjey pajamas to be one of our favourite things too. The attention to detail in tailoring, shades and fabrication, make them the best sleepwear sets for women. To shop our collect, see below.
