      Find Your Perfect Night's Sleep with Our Women's Nightgowns Collection

      Nightgowns have long been a sleepwear staple, offering comfort, elegance, and versatility for restful nights. But as temperatures rise and sleep quality becomes more important, modern nightgowns are evolving, thanks to innovations like cooling and moisture-wicking sleepwear technology.

      This collection brings together two beautiful ways to sleep cooler and more comfortably: our engineered, moisture-wicking NightCool nightgowns (formerly our Classics line) and our soft, breathable BambooSoft nightgowns in silky viscose from bamboo. Whether you run hot at night or simply love the feel of something light and luxurious against your skin, there's a nightgown here for you.

      Our curated range of women's nightgowns is crafted for those who crave breathable fabrics, gentle drape, and whisper-light ease. From camisoles to relaxed T-shirt silhouettes, every piece is designed to help you recharge, whether you're navigating warm climates, hot flashes, or mid-summer heat waves.

      NightCool: Engineered Moisture-Wicking Performance

      Our NightCool nightgowns are made with our signature proprietary fabric, engineered to wick moisture and heat away from your skin and dry up to 4 times faster than cotton. If you experience night sweats, hot flashes, or overheating during sleep, NightCool is built to help regulate your body temperature and keep you dry and comfortable all night long. This is our original cooling innovation, the moisture-wicking sleepwear trusted by hot sleepers for years.

      Best for: night sweats, hot flashes, menopause, and anyone who sleeps hot and wants engineered temperature regulation.

      BambooSoft: Silky, Breathable, Everyday Softness

      Our BambooSoft nightgowns are made from viscose from bamboo, prized for a buttery-soft, silky hand-feel, a gorgeous fluid drape, and light, airy breathability. They feel wonderfully gentle against the skin and are lovely for warm nights, slow mornings, and everyday lounging when you want to feel wrapped in something soft and luxurious. BambooSoft is all about natural comfort and effortless softness.

      Best for: soft, breathable everyday comfort, warm-weather wear, sensitive skin, and anyone who loves a silky, lightweight feel.

      DayBasics: Soft Everyday Comfort (Not Cooling)

      Our DayBasics nightgowns are for women who love our fits but do not run hot at night. They are soft, breathable, and made for easy everyday comfort. DayBasics is not cooling in any way: if night sweats or hot flashes are why you are here, choose NightCool instead.

      Best for: everyday softness, layering, and women who do not need cooling.

      Which Nightgown Is Right for You?

      We'll always be honest about what each fabric does best. If your main goal is managing night sweats and staying dry through hot, sweaty nights, reach for engineered, moisture-wicking NightCool. If you simply want the softest, most breathable everyday comfort, you'll love BambooSoft. Many women keep both: NightCool for the hottest nights, BambooSoft for soft, easy comfort in between.

      What Are Nightgowns?

      1 sections

      Nightgowns are loose-fitting sleepwear garments typically designed for women. They can range from short, breezy camisoles to ankle-length gowns. Nightgowns are popular for their comfort and easy fit, making them ideal for lounging or sleeping. While traditional materials include cotton and satin, today's designs increasingly feature moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics that help regulate body temperature and keep you comfortable.

      Cooling & Breathable Sleepwear Technology

      Cooling nightgowns are a game-changer for hot sleepers or those experiencing night sweats. Engineered fabrics like our moisture-wicking NightCool technology work by pulling heat and moisture away from the skin, helping you stay dry and comfortable throughout the night. Naturally breathable fabrics like our BambooSoft viscose from bamboo keep things light and airy against the skin, for soft, comfortable warm-weather sleep.

      Styles and Types of Nightgowns

      Our nightgowns come in different styles. Check out our nightgowns style guide.

      1. Camisole or Sleeveless Nightgowns: Lightweight and minimal, camisole nightgowns are ideal for warm climates or summer months. They offer maximum ventilation and often come in soft, stretchy materials for added comfort. Browse our short nightgowns for the lightest options.
      2. Long-Sleeved Nightgowns: Perfect for cooler nights, long-sleeved nightgowns offer more coverage and warmth while still being breathable. They're a great balance of comfort and modesty.
      3. Long Nightgowns: Ankle-length nightgowns provide full-body coverage without overheating, especially in moisture-wicking or breathable fabrics. These are perfect for lounging or those who prefer more coverage without sacrificing comfort. See all long nightgowns.
      4. Racerback Nightgowns: With a sporty silhouette and breathable arm design, racerback nightgowns allow greater movement and airflow. They're ideal for active sleepers who tend to move around at night. If you want built-in support, see our nightgown with a built-in shelf bra.

      Why You Need Different Styles

      Having a variety of nightgown styles ensures comfort year-round. A sleeveless option keeps you cool in summer, while a long-sleeved or long nightgown offers warmth in cooler seasons. Different styles also suit different body types and sleep habits, whether you prioritize freedom of movement, modesty, cooling performance, or soft everyday comfort.

      In short: the right nightgown makes all the difference in sleep quality. With so many styles across our cooling and breathable fabrics, you can finally build a sleepwear wardrobe tailored to your comfort and lifestyle.

      Questions

      Women's Nightgowns: Your Questions, Answered

      Are all of your nightgowns cooling?

      No. Only our NightCool nightgowns are cooling. They are made with our moisture-wicking NightCool fabric for women who sleep hot or wake up with night sweats. DayBasics nightgowns are not cooling in any way. They are soft, breathable everyday nightgowns for women who do not run hot at night. Our BambooSoft nightgown is silky viscose from bamboo, light and breathable, but it is not engineered for cooling.

      What is the difference between a nightgown and a nightshirt?

      A nightgown is a dress-style sleep garment, from cami and tank gowns to long gowns with sleeves. A nightshirt is cut like a longer, roomier shirt, usually with a scoop neck, V-neck or snap front. We make night shirts for women in both our cooling NightCool fabric and our everyday DayBasics line, in short and long lengths.

      Do you make loose fitting nightgowns?

      Yes. Most of our nightgowns are cut with a relaxed, airy drape, so the fabric skims instead of clinging. The Gathered Tank Nightgown, Long Tank Gown and our nightshirts are the roomiest fits, and many styles are available up to 3X.

      Do you have nightgowns with a built-in bra?

      Yes. Our sleepwear with built-in support collection has nightgowns and tops with a built-in shelf bra, so there is nothing extra to put on underneath, including the Long Racerback Tank Gown with Built-In Shelf Bra.

      What are the different types of nightgowns?

      Common types include cami and tank nightgowns, sleeveless and short-sleeve gowns, long nightgowns with sleeves, nighties and nightshirts. Our women's nightgown style guide walks through each style and when to choose it.

      What should I look for in a nightgown if I sleep hot?

      Look at breathability and construction first. A lightweight, breathable knit that moves moisture away from your skin will sleep cooler than a heavy, densely built fabric, no matter what it is made from. That is what our NightCool nightgowns are engineered for. If you only run warm now and then, a light, airy cut in any breathable fabric may be all you need.
