These are so flimsy, I don’t think they will last 2 years. The ones I had before lasted 10 years.

These pajamas looked and felt nice initially, but after one machine wash & dry, they shrunk so much, they became unwearable for me. I'm not going to hand wash and dry pajamas.

Reddit comment

“If I accidentally wear poly to bed, sheets and nightshirt are soaked through with sweat by halfway through the night and I'm waking up to change and air it out.”

Reddit, r/womensfashion. On polyester pajamas.

They don't make pajamas that last 10 years anymore.

Here are five checks to see if a set is built to last.

1Will it shrink? Hand-wash only is a no.

The washing machine is where good pajamas die. Check the care label.

Look for
The wash temperature, and whether the label allows the machine and the dryer.
Pajamas
Machine wash at 30 to 40 °C with a gentle detergent. Dry on a low setting. Washed that way, it will not shrink or colour bleed.

“They're soft linen and wash well.”

Verdict
Machine, yes. Dryer: on a low setting.

The care label, close enough to read: fibre line and the OEKO-TEX® mark. 100% linen. OEKO-TEX® certified.

2Is it really 100%?

Check the fibre line on the label.

Look for
The composition line on the label, and a certification mark next to it.
Pajamas
100% linen, made from European flax. OEKO-TEX® certified: free from harmful substances, safe for everyday use. Nothing else on the tag.

3Who spends $200 on pajamas?

Check what the money buys: the weight, the fibre, the hands.

Look for
The fabric weight in gsm, if the brand states it. Where it is made, and by whom.
Pajamas
150 gsm. 100% linen, made from European flax. Handmade in a family-owned facility in Lithuania; made in the EU. Right now they are 40% off: $125 instead of $209. And 30 days to wear it and wash it at home: the 30-Day Risk-Free Trial.

“I have searched for years for comfy, SOFT, well made and worth your money pajamas. I have bought 2 and planning to buy more.”

The size chart from the product page. XS to XXL. US 2 to 16, EU 32 to 46.

4Does it run small? Will it fit me?

Check the size chart, and what happens if the size is wrong.

Look for
A chart with measurements, how the waistband is built, and the policy when the size is off.
Pajamas
Elastic waistband with a drawstring. If the size is wrong, you have the 30-Day Risk-Free Trial. Not sure which size to pick? Use our Find Your Size tool on the product page. Add your height and weight, or your exact measurements, and it shows your recommended size.

“I'm about 130lbs and medium to slim frame. 34DD and a 26-27 waist.. I ordered a Medium and it fits perfect.. Not too loose. Just a little oversized like I like, especially to sleep.”

Verdict
XS to XXL. Wrong size, 30 days.

The set on the model, worn, straight from the wash, wrinkles left in. It's linen. It wrinkles.

5Linen wrinkles and looks messy on me.

Check how easy the wrinkles are to fix.

Look for
How the fabric is finished, and what the care label says about ironing.
Pajamas
  • Stone-washed linen doesn't wrinkle that much.
  • A few wrinkles? Spray plain water on the linen and put it on right away. Most of them are gone.
  • Or iron on medium. Or just leave them: the wrinkles are the beautiful texture of linen.
Verdict
A spray of water, or leave the wrinkles.

Why AmourLinen pajamas pass all five

They are dyed in two steps, then mechanically stone-washed. After that process they will not shrink and will not colour bleed, washed as instructed. They soften with every wash.

Before you order

Is it see-through?
No. A buyer of the Dusty Lavender set wrote: “thicker linen, not see through” (Beata Irena, Trustpilot, 2023).
Will the legs be too long or too short?
The size table on the product page shows the measurements for every size. The size guide helps you choose the perfect size for you.
Is it really cooling, or just comfy?
Breathable: it moves air and moisture. Before it feels wet, flax takes up about 12% of its own weight, cotton 8.5%, polyester 0.4% (moisture regain at 65% RH, 21 °C; ASTM D1909; Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011, Annex IX).
Are there pockets in the pants?
This set: none, shirt or pants. Snooze is the same set with two front pockets on the shirt; its pants have none either.
Will it fit my hips, chest or thighs?
XS to XXL (US 2 to 16, EU 32 to 46). Handmade, so measurements vary slightly. 30-Day Risk-Free Trial.
Can I even sleep in a set?
Yes. They're made to be comfortable and soft, and made to last. They also look good, so people wear them as loungewear, or to go shopping. Long-sleeve shirt; long pants with an elastic waistband and a drawstring.
Will it look raggedy after a few washes?
Washed as the label says, it will not shrink or colour bleed, and it softens with every wash. 150 gsm European flax linen.
Will I look like I'm in scrubs?
Comfortable enough for bed, good enough to be seen in.
Is the colour as photographed?
Yes, though it can look a little different depending on your screen settings. A buyer: “The color varies a little, but that comes with territory” (Judge.me, Keefer B., 2023).
Do the buttons gap or fall off?
No. The buttons stay closed and stay on.
Will it smell of chemicals when it arrives?
The set is OEKO-TEX® certified: free from harmful substances, safe for everyday use.
How fast does it ship?
Dispatch within 2 business days, FedEx. Free standard shipping over 200 USD / EUR / CHF. US orders ship DDP.
What if it doesn't fit, or I change my mind?
