As someone who tends to run hot while sleeping, I’m always on the hunt for anything that helps keep me cool at night. Cooling pillows and sheets? Check. Fan blasting on high even in the dead of winter? Absolutely. I’ve tried just about every trick in the book, but one surprisingly simple sleep essential that’s made a huge difference in my nighttime comfort is Soma’s Cool Nights Pajamas. In fact, they’ve become such a staple in my bedtime routine that I’m not sure how I ever slept without them.
Quick Overview
Soma
Pajamas with pockets? Say less! This cute short set has all the makings of a new bedtime favorite, from its buttery-soft, stretchy feel to its lightweight, cooling fabric.
I’ve bought several pairs over the years, and because I wear them so often, a few of my longtime favorites were starting to look a little worse for wear. So when Soma sent me some of their newest prints to try out, let’s just say my day (and night!) was made. The new additions have the same soft, cooling look and feel that I’ve grown to know and love, just in some fresh patterns and colors. Made from an incredibly lightweight and breathable jersey knit, the pajamas feel silky-soft against my skin and are designed to help keep you cool without clinging or sticking to your body as you warm up throughout the night.
And they’re so comfy I don’t even save them for just bedtime. If I’m working from home, there’s a pretty good chance I have them on, layered under a sweater that’s more suitable for video calls. Because who says you have to wait until you’re ready to hit the hay to get your cozy on? Another major plus? They are just as easy to care for as they are to wear. The entire collection is machine-washable. And while my older sets are looking a little dreary, that’s only after 5+ years of daily, um, nightly, wear and tear. I’ve been wearing my newer styles every night for a few weeks now and they’ve held up beautifully through multiple trips to the laundry. No stretching, shrinking or losing their shape.

The contrast piping gives this top a cute, vintage-inspired feel. It’s an easy way to make bedtime look and feel a little more elevated than simply throwing on an oversized T-shirt.

The matching bottoms also have the sleek piping and come in petite, regular and tall inseams.
Perhaps best of all, there’s no shortage of options in the Cool Nights collection. Depending on your mood (or how warm you’re feeling), you can choose from long-sleeve button-down tops with matching pants, long-sleeve tops with shorts, and short-sleeve tops with shorts. They also have nightgowns, camis, sleep shirts, robes and more! And the prints and colors? There’s something to suit just about every pajama personality. We’re talking classic solids, playful animal prints, pretty florals, stripes, polka dots and plenty of other eye-catching prints.

Not a button-down pajama person, but still like coverage? No problem! This long-sleeve dup delivers all the cozy comfort without the buttons. Choose from nine cute styles, all currently 36% off.
Some styles are sold as matching sets, while others are available as separates so you can mix and match depending on what you’re looking for. Most pieces range in size from XS to XXL, and the bottoms are offered in petite, regular and tall inseams, which is a particularly nice touch. One sizing note from me: I got my usual size small in a regular length, but at 5’9″ I probably should have gotten a medium or tall inseam. The sleeves and pant legs are just a touch short on me, so if you’re tall like me or simply prefer a little extra room to lounge, I would definitely recommend sizing up.

I’m partial to the matching shorts — especially on nights when I’m feeling extra warm and want as little fabric as possible.
