There's no better way to dial in your lounging-around time or up your sleep game than with a high-quality pair of pajamas. The key, however, is to find a pair that's comfortable — and that can be tricky. Things like tight waistbands, restrictive materials, or fabrics that make you sweat can all hamper your sense of sleepful bliss. To find the most comfortable pajama pants, you need to look for a variety of specific qualities.
First, the material — this is so important. Almost always, the best choice is either cotton, polyester, or a blend of both. There are several reasons for this. Cotton provides breathability and gives that soft, luxurious feeling. Polyester, on the other hand offers great moisture management (which is helpful if you sweat a lot). If you're looking for some extra stretch, too, a little spandex in the mix is all you need.
The other important thing to consider is the fit. It's hard to be comfortable if you're wearing something that's too tight and restrictive or has fabric that bunches and rides up. Features such as elastic waistbands that aren't too tight or adjustable drawstrings will add to the comfort equation. Also, a wide-leg cut or a loose silhouette allow for extra freedom of movement.
Given these factors, here are the most comfortable pajama pants on Amazon.
