I've always thought fancy pajama sets — or really any pajama sets in general — were a waste of money. Years of acquiring oversized T-shirts and sweatpants from miscellaneous school events and birthday parties afforded me a stash of more pajamas than I even knew what to do with. I really couldn't see the point of paying anything, let alone $100 or more, to grow my pajama collection. That is, until I tried Eberjey.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you that you have to spend big on a pair of pajamas, but if the price is in your budget, they're worth it — even at full price. I still have a soft spot in my heart for raggedy band tees and bat mitzvah sweatpants riddled with holes, those will still do the trick. But, if the idea of indulging in possibly the softest pair of pajamas you'll ever touch (a pair that even Oprah counts as her favorite) is at all intriguing, you should keep reading.
Eberjey makes some of the best pajamas for women. Here's why.

These got our hard-won award for the best silk pajamas after I tested silk from a bunch of other brands. You can't beat Eberjey's fabric, which is beautifully billowy and cool to the touch.
It's made of 16 momme, grade 6A silk, which is some of the highest quality around. And one touch will tell you all you need to know about how luxurious this set is, especially compared to some of the lower-cost pajamas on this list. It's expensive, but you get what you're paying for.
I absolutely live in the Inez Washable Silk Short Set. It is so light and soft that it feels like silk is floating on my body. I got the printed version in the blue and white Wedgewood pattern (as an antique enthusiast, this little detail made it even more special).
I almost had to force myself to wear anything other than this set. The fit is perfect on me, and the fabric is pure luxury. But like all silk, it takes a little bit of effort to launder and de-wrinkle. However, this set makes it all worth it. — Samantha Crozier, style editor, Insider Reviews.

The Eberjey pajamas are surprisingly chic, soft, and classic. The lightweight modal jersey fabric feels like a second skin — it's silky smooth and drapes elegantly over your body for a fit that's cozy and flattering. The button-up front, breast pocket, and contrast piping give these pajamas a timeless look that make these just as good for lounging around the house as for sleeping.
Eberjey totally changed my perspective on fancy pajamas. Sure, ratty sweats are comfortable, but a nice pair of pajamas that look as good as they feel can make bedtime something worth celebrating. Light a candle, grab a book, or just turn on Netflix like you would any other night — chances are you'll feel better doing it in these classy and supremely comfortable pajamas.

I've tested many of the best silk pajamas and these are some of the best. They're the long version of my favorite pajamas ever, the Inez Washable Silk Long PJ Set. And like the short set, it feels beautiful on my skin.
But as a petite person, I had to roll up the band on these a couple of times in order to prevent the pants from dragging on the floor. But the waistband is so comfortable that this didn't really bother me.
The only issue I had with these is the fact that they show liquid marks easily. When I did my skincare routine in these pajamas, I accidentally got moisturizer on the sleeve. Even when I wiped it off with water, you could still see the mark. It came off in the washer, but now I know that I have to be careful with food, serums, and anything else I may get on these. Unlike cotton pajamas, which you can easily remove spills from, these will absorb anything that isn't water until you give it a proper wash. But they're so worth it for the comfiness and luxuriousness. — Samantha Crozier, style editor, Insider Reviews.
