I'm a fashion writer and Sainsbury's PJ sets are super stylish and super cosy
With sleep week well and truly in force, many of us are trying out some new techniques, accessories or bedding to help us achieve the best night's sleep we can have. But for a lot of us, a good night's sleep cannot be had without a cosy, comfy set of pyjamas to snuggle up in under the duvet - even better if they're pretty stylish too.
Recently, my social media has been filled with videos of people raving about a number of sets of pyjamas from none of other than supermarket Sainsbury's - yes, Sainbury's - in its fashion department Tu. And I must say, when I saw them, I was impressed.
They weren't plain or a bit kitsch-y, as some supermarket PJs have been in the past. They were eye-catching with pops of colour and quirky designs (like ones with croissants) made from super soft, floaty material quite luxurious for their twenty-something price range. And, best of all, looked comfy and cosy for a snooze in.

So, naturally, I had to make my way to my nearest Sainsbury's to see what was in store - and I wasn't disappointed.
Now, with Sainsbury's being able to stock only so much, some of what I'd had my eye on from the website wasn't there, meaning I couldn't get a feel of what it was like in real life - such as the Bright Stripe Cotton Traditional Pyjamas (£20) that featured pastel colours like pinks, yellows, greens and blues, the Bright Floral Print Traditional Pyjamas (£18) with similar spring vibes, the Yellow Stripe Traditional Pyjamas (£20), the Bright Tiger Palm Mini Me Pyjamas with Scrunchie (£20) and the Blue Ikat Dye Woven Pyjamas (£22). That or it was and just wasn't in my size. Understandably as, in the last few weeks, these PJs have been super popular.
Thankfully though, despite the small-ish size of my Sainsbury's, I managed to get my hands on a few gorgeous sets to try on and let's just say I'm impressed my willpower withstood the desire to walk out with all four sets purchased.
These are the bright, bold pjs I fell in love with (Eve Rowlands)With my heart set on the brightest of PJs, which I'd seen everywhere on TikTok, I was delighted to find a set of the Abstract Bright Stripe Traditional Pyjamas, £20, which was designed with patchwork-style stripes in a series of yellows, greens, blues, pinks, oranges and looked so snazzy that I'd even go as far as to say I'd leave the house in them. They're definitely a PJ set I wouldn't mind being caught in by the post man!
Sadly, they weren't in my size but that didn't stop me trying them on. Featuring a long sleeved shirt and a trouser, what struck me was how soft the material was. It wasn't a softness that resembled velvet or fur, but it was a softness that made the pyjamas floaty and effortlessly glide over your body.
The viscose material was also lovely and super light weight, making them a great set of PJs coming into spring and summer but also the longer length means they work in the colder months too - under a good duvet, of course.
As soon as I got home, I went straight to the Tu website to bag myself a pair in my size because I fell in love. Yes, with pyjamas.
These lilac and white pyjamas are so pretty (Eve Rowlands)The next set I tried on was equally as soft and supple but featured a slightly more subtle design in a white and lilac and had a short sleeved shirt and longer trousers.
The floral pattern on the Lilac Floral Traditional Pyjamas, £20, was intricate and could easily be mistaken as a two-piece for brunch, if it didn't have the lilac piping on the bottom of the trousers that scream 'PJs'.
Just like the abstract ones. made from the same material, these jimjams were floaty, comfy and just lush. I can see these being worn all summer long.

These sage tropical leaf pyjamas were super comfy (Eve Rowlands)You can't go wrong with a good pair of jersey pyjamas and these green tropical leaf ones, £11 and £7, made from cotton and modal, are cute and cosy. The sage green colour is elegant and the white leaf design is super classy. With a high neck and oversized fit, the t-shirt and trousers ensemble is the perfect set for lounging around the house in on a Saturday morning, cosying up to watch your favourite film at night and keeping you cool in the warmer months.
They can be purchased separately too so if you just want the top or the trousers, you can mix and match.
These PJs would also double up as the perfect WFH Friday outfit thanks to the sweatshirt (Eve Rowlands)While the last set I tried on is labelled as Mothers Day Day Dream Pyjamas, £24, I would totally wear these all year round - and I'm not a mum. Consisting of a bright blue sweatshirt that has the slogan 'day dream' stitched onto the chest and a pair of striped trouser bottoms with pink flowers dotted about them, this set is just lovely. Great if you're extra cold in bed and need something a bit thicker than a t-shirt to sleep in or if you want to throw on something easy to make your coffee in the morning.
Inside the sweater, the fabric is really soft on your skin while the bottoms are light, airy and just really comfortable. As a 5'6 woman, they come to my ankles so aren't grazing the floor like some of the other sets, which is great if that's your preference.
If you're more of a nightie wearer, the shop has an abundance of gorgeous night-dresses that are really pretty and range from spaghetti strap midi slips to shirt dresses. The slipper collection is just gorgeous, too, and features patterns as bold as its pyjamas - like these fluffy mules that are decorated in pink hearts and cost only £9. Or there's these floral print cosy slipper socks, for £6.
Now of course, there are so many other shops from which you can get the most stylish and cosiest of pyjamas and if you're after something a little different to Sainsbury's collection, H&M has a lovely range of sleepwear including this blue striped pyjama shirt and bottoms set which also comes in white, pink and a lighter blue, and costs £32.99, or an adorable strawberry print shorts and tee set for £12.99.
Want a bit of a treat? Boux Avenue's PJ sets are also top quality and really pretty, like this ribbed modal pyjama top and trousers in pink or olive green - respectively costing £28 and £32.99. This lovely lip print pyjama set in black is more fitted, if you prefer that style, and is on sale for £25 from £35.
