7 Sustainable Silk Pajamas For Luxurious Sleep

Soft Enough For All Night (And Day)

You’ve probably noticed that different fabrics give you different experiences when you sleep, ranging from warm wool in the winter to cooling bamboo in the summers. One fabric that keeps us thermoregulated all year long? Silk!

For soft, smooth, and sustainable pajamas we love, check out these brands using ethical silk or eco-friendly silk-like alternatives—like organic bamboo. Throw a set on as you get ready for bed, slip on a sleep mask, and enjoy a good night’s rest.

Not into silk? Check out our recommendations for other sustainable pajamas. And, if you’re ready to upgrade your bed, too—here are our top-reviewed natural & organic mattresses.


1. The Ethical Silk Company

Ethics | 100 percent Mulberry silk, fair trade working conditions, artisan-made
Best For | Camisole & short sets
Our Pick | Mulberry Silk Camisole & Short Set ($150)
Price Range | $150

The Ethical Silk Company works with a fair trade tailor in Jaipur, India for its high-quality, sustainable sleepwear. Instead of traditional silk, the brand employs cruelty-free practices by only using silk extracted from the cocoon after the moth has left. The patterns on these PJs are created via block printing, which is done by hand one at a time, using low-impact dyes and recycled water. In addition to full sets, you can also find a number of silk slips and separates.
