Adult Pajamas & Sleepwear
Adult sleepwear including pajamas, nightgowns, and loungewear worn during sleep for 6-8+ hours nightly.
Why It Matters
Sleepwear is worn for 6-8+ hours nightly against skin. Unlike children's sleepwear, adult pajamas aren't required to be flame resistant but may still be treated. Wrinkle-free cotton pajamas contain formaldehyde. Synthetic pajamas may have restricted dyes.
