The warmer weather is on its way, and so is Cachia’s Spring/Summer range. As the nights get warmer, the fabrics you sleep in make all the difference to your comfort and quality rest. At Cachia, we carefully select fabrics that are breathable, soft, and perfect for the season ahead. Let’s take a closer look at the best fabrics for spring and summer sleepwear and discover which suits you best based on your sleeping habits.
100% Cotton
Cotton is a natural fibre that has been loved for centuries thanks to its breathability and softness. In warmer weather, it helps keep your body cool by allowing air to circulate and absorbing moisture from the skin. This makes it an ideal choice for hot sleepers who tend to sweat throughout the night – especially if you experience menopausal symptoms! If you’re looking for a fabric that feels fresh and lightweight while still being gentle on the skin, 100% cotton is a perfect choice.
Viscose/Elastane
Viscose is a semi-natural fibre made from wood pulp and sometimes bamboo. When blended with elastane it gives the fabric extra stretch and flexibility. The texture feels silky, drapes beautifully over the body, and moves with you while you sleep. It’s ideal for warmer nights because it’s breathable and lightweight, while the elastane ensures comfort all night long. Best suited to sleepers who love a soft, stretchy and smooth fabric that is cooling against the skin.
Waffle Fabric
Waffle fabric is known for its textured, honeycomb-like weave that creates small pockets of breathability. Cachia uses a cotton/elastane waffle blend, giving you the natural comfort of cotton with added stretch for ease of movement. This makes it perfect for spring and summer, when you want a fabric that is lightweight but still cosy enough for cooler evenings. Waffle fabric is best for sleepers who like a little structure in their PJs but don’t want to compromise on comfort.
Satin
Satin is a smooth and glossy fabric, often made from synthetic fibres such as polyester, created through a special weaving technique that gives it its signature sheen. Satin is ideal in the warmer months because of its luxurious, cool-to-the-touch feel that glides over the skin. It’s perfect for those who want to elevate their sleepwear with something stylish while staying comfortable on warm nights. Best suited to sleepers who love a lightweight, silky fabric with a luxe finish.
5x2 Ribbed Fabric
Cachia’s 5x2 ribbed fabric is a blend of cotton, elastane, and polyester designed with a ribbed finish that gives extra stretch and shape retention. This ribbed texture allows for natural movement, making it both breathable and flexible in warmer weather. It feels soft and slightly structured, offering the best of comfort and style. Ideal for sleepers who like their PJs to have a snug, stretchy fit that moves with them through the night.
No matter what type of sleeper you are, there’s a fabric perfect for your spring and summer nights. Cachia’s upcoming collection has been designed with comfort, breathability, and style in mind — so you can look forward to fresh new fabrics and prints arriving very soon. Stay tuned, because your dreamiest warm-weather PJs are on their way!
