Bustle / Amazon

If you're like me, most of your fashion choices are dominated by one central idea: comfort. That's especially important when it comes to pajamas. Most of the time, no one else will ever see my PJs (except my dog), but there's something about coordinated cheap pajama sets that make me feel like I have my life together, if only because I'm spending less than $50 on something I know I'll wear constantly.

First things first, some practical considerations. Are you basically living in your PJs these days? Is your home plagued by sweltering heat or as chilly as an icebox? Consider your lifestyle and sleeping temps when shopping for pajamas, which range on this list from fleece PJs, short sleeve and shorts sets, to even slinkier numbers. Before you "add to cart," here are a few things to keep in mind specifically regarding fabric:

Don't hit snooze on these picks — they'll save you money and lull you to an incredible night's sleep.

A Loose-Fitting Pajama Shorts Set That Keeps You Cool At Night

If you tend to sleep warm, this loose-fitting boxer shorts and matching V-neck short-sleeve top pajama set is for you. Made from bamboo viscose, with a hint of Spandex for stretch, the set is soft and breathable. It comes with an elastic waistband that keeps the shorts in place without feeling restrictive. It’s available in 13 colors, all of which feature a satin trim. Some reviewers say they run a little big, but most agree that if you prefer a looser, baggier fit for sleeping this set is perfect. These are safe to wash in cold water, and several reviewers noted that the fabric holds up wash after wash.

Helpful Review: “I LOVE these PJs. My body temperature gets very high when I’m sleeping, and I often wake up drenched in sweat! These solved this problem. They are very soft and super comfortable. And, best of all, they do as advertised. They keep me cool and dry all night long. I have already bought 3 more pairs. I also think they’re sort of cute. I find the bottoms to be a little bit big, but I just roll them up around the waist. The trim adds just a little touch.”

This floral cropped pajama set is made of a blend of cotton and polyester and features a capri pant leg with a comfy elastic waistband and a classic button-down PJ top with a notched collar.

Several reviewers commented that the fabric was more breathable than they expected and one fan noted, "they're great for year-round."

Helpful Review: "I really like these PJs. I am only short 5"3 so these came to just above ankle length. Soft, smooth material which doesn't shrink. The polyester cotton mix, means that it doesn't feel 'drafty' cool or too flannelette hot to wear."

Reviewers say the set fits true to size and held up well in the washing machine, and some recommend washing the PJs before you wear them to avoid any potential color bleeding.

Helpful Review: "Love this pj set. Purchased for a weekend getaway to Florida and it’s the perfect combination of sexy and comfortable. I didn’t know what to expect — if it would be cheap staticky satin or what but it surprisingly has a little stretch to the top making it lay just right on me."

Helpful Review: "These pajamas are pretty awesome. I'm in between petite and regular length and they fit great. They are so soft and fuzzy it's like wearing a hug. The best part is they hold up GREAT in the wash. They don't shrink or come apart from being washed and machine dried!"

While no care instructions are provided, several reviewers had success washing these PJs in a mesh bag in the washing machine.

Helpful Review: “I wanted some cute and sexy pajamas (that weren't basically lingerie) to wear around the house to spice up my usually routine of a crop top and joggers. I'm not sure why it's so hard to find sexy pajamas that are comfortable, but these are definitely it! My husband LOVED this! I usually wear a size 18 or 2x, but sized up and that was the right decision."

Helpful Review: "These pajamas are a must have! ... The fabric is so soft and cuddly. The set is stylish enough to lounge around the house all day in and not be embarrassed if someone stops by and you’re still in pajamas! ...

A Lightweight, 100% Cotton Pajama Set With A Button-Down Top

This 100% cotton pajama set is perfect for wearing on family vacations, girls weekends, or when friends are in town. The material is thick enough to provide full coverage but is still lightweight and ideal for all seasons. The set includes long, relaxed-fit pants with an elastic waist and a button-down top with a notched collar and adorable trim detail.

Since it is made of cotton, reviewers confirm that it shrinks in the wash, but they suggest skipping the dryer or sizing up (you can also wash them in cold water and avoid high heat in the dryer). If polka dots aren’t your thing, this same set comes in 28 styles including stripes, paisley, and even a cute little dog print.

Helpful Review: "These cotton pajamas are exactly what I was looking for and fit perfectly. Although I normally wear a medium, I ordered large because I don't like the restrictive feel of fitted night clothes and it gives me plenty of room to move around without feeling like I'm wearing a potato sack. They are so lightweight and comfortable I know I'll be buying another set in a different color ... Love, love, love."

Many reviewers are brides who used this set to getting ready for their wedding, saying it made cute photos and was super convenient. If white isn’t your thing, this same set comes in 12 shades and patterns like black, navy, maroon, and even some fun patterns like strawberries and dinosaurs. It’s available in a range of sizes and designed to feel more polished than traditional sleepwear.

Helpful Review: “Used this as my getting ready outfit for my wedding in Sept. It was perfect. I read other reviews saying it runs large and ordered a size small (I'm typically a standard Med), and the small was still very large and roomy on me, but it worked for what I needed. The quality is really quite good on these, and they're not see through as other white pajama sets seem to be. I used an iron on from Cricut to put "Mrs" on the pocket, and it was a breeze. Would recommend to future brides and other women alike!”
