Buying guide

Fabric base

Most satin pyjamas are woven from polyester — choose recycled polyester where possible. Some use silk-blend or rayon-satin.

Finish

Look for a heavyweight satin with a charmeuse finish for the best drape. Cheap satin can feel slippery and cold.

Care

Machine wash on cold delicate, air-dry. Iron on the reverse with low heat.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between silk and satin pyjamas?+

Silk is a natural fibre; satin is a weave. Most satin pyjamas are made from polyester woven in a satin weave, giving you the drape and shine of silk at a much lower price.

Are satin pyjamas good for hair and skin?+

Yes — satin has a smooth surface that reduces hair friction and skin creasing while you sleep, similar to silk.

Where can I buy satin pyjamas in Australia?+

Peter Alexander, Sussan, Kmart, Target, Papinelle and David Jones all stock satin and silk pyjamas Australia-wide.
