Men's Pyjamas & Loungewear

Men's pyjamas and loungewear for winter nights and slow weekends: woven button-through pyjama sets, fleece check pyjamas with a hooded or thermal top, checked fleece lounge pants, and two-packs of cotton-blend lounge bottoms and lounge shorts. The range comes from Sock Stack and Toro Rocco, in sizes from Medium upwards.

Woven, fleece or stretch cotton: choosing the fabric

The fabric decides how warm a set feels and how it wears, so start there.

Woven polyester and cotton. The red and blue woven pyjama sets pair a long sleeve button top with full-length bottoms. The blue set is a 65% polyester, 35% cotton blend with piped trim. Woven fabric is smooth rather than fluffy, so it suits men who run warm or want one set for most of the year.
Polyester fleece. The hooded check pyjama set, the thermal fleece pyjama set and the checked fleece lounge pants are all polyester fleece. The thermal set is designed to hold in heat, which makes it the one to choose for a cold bedroom or a draughty house in January.
Stretch cotton blend. The Sock Stack lounge bottoms and lounge shorts are 60% cotton and 40% polyester with stretch, sold in two-packs in black, navy and grey. They are the everyday option for around the house or a lie-in.

Sizing guidance

The woven pyjama sets come in M, L, XL and XXL and are described as a tailored fit with a relaxed feel, so take your usual size. The cotton lounge bottoms run from Medium to 5XL, which helps if standard pyjama bottoms feel tight on you. The checked fleece lounge pants have an elastic waistband and a relaxed fit.

Fleece is thicker than woven fabric, so if you are between sizes in a fleece set, choose the larger one. Sizing can differ between brands, so check the size options on each product page rather than assuming a Sock Stack Large matches a Toro Rocco Large.

Pyjamas or loungewear?

A pyjama set is a matched top and bottoms made for sleeping in. Lounge pants and shorts are sold on their own, so you can wear them with a T-shirt or sweatshirt you already own, and they are relaxed enough to sleep in too. The checked fleece lounge pants are described as suitable for both lounging around the house and sleeping. If you want a full outfit for bed, pick a set. If you want something to change into after work, the lounge bottoms are the simpler buy.

Care and safety

Wash at the temperature on the care label and turn fleece inside out to help keep the surface soft. Dry fleece away from direct heat. Like all nightwear, pyjamas and lounge pants can catch fire, so keep them away from open fires, gas hobs, candles and heaters, and never dry them on a heater.

Common questions

What size pyjamas should I get as a man?

Take your usual size. The woven sets run M to XXL with a relaxed cut, and the cotton lounge bottoms go up to 5XL. If you are between sizes in fleece, size up.

Are fleece pyjamas too warm to sleep in?

They are warmer than woven fabric, which is the point in winter. If you get hot at night, the woven button-through sets or the cotton-blend lounge shorts are lighter choices.
