Buying guide

Flannelette

Brushed cotton flannelette is the gold standard for Australian winters — warm, breathable and soft from the first wash.

Fleece

Polyester fleece is the warmest but can be sweaty. Choose for the coldest nights only.

Layering

A bamboo base layer under brushed cotton outperforms a single thick set for very cold nights, per reader and customer feedback.
