We spend around a third of our lives sleeping, so we might as well look good doing it. Many of us will spend even longer in our pyjamas, changing out of work clothes almost immediately after setting foot through the door.

As fashion writers, it only makes sense that our style extends further than our everyday clothes and into our nightwear. And one way to do that is to ditch the high street for more premium picks.

From brands like Damson Madder to Wild Lovers, our shopping experts have handpicked some of the best loungewear and sleep sets we’d like to get into bed with. Some have been picked for their on trend designs, while others purely for comfort and quality.

What’s more is that luxe nightwear is a totally failsafe option when it comes to Christmas gifting too, so you may be able to tick off a few presents while you’re at it. Without further ado, here’s our top luxury sleepwear picks to elevate your bedtime routine:

When lockdown hit back in 2020, I immediately found myself wearing almost exclusively pyjamas, and made a vow to myself that, if I’m going to spend 70% of my time in sleepwear, then it should at least be good quality. I’ve had some gorgeous pairs in that time, namely from the likes of Chelsea Peers , but one pair I’ve recently set my sights on and have kindly asked Santa for are these leopard print antonella pjs from Damson Madder.

The London-based brand is best known for their viral leopard print jeans and reversible gilets, so it’s no surprise that their nightwear is equally as popular. And as a self-confessed leopard print obsessive, these really are a bit of me.

The pyjamas are made from 100% organic cotton , which I often look for in my nightwear as I find it’s better for regulating temperature so you don’t get too hot, or cold, at night. The leopard print design is similar to that of their hyan midi skirt (which I also own), which is incredibly on trend - as are bows, with the top being adorned with pink ribbon detailing down the front. This pop of pink also appears on the cuffs and collar, as well as on the top pocket.

Available in sizes 6-20, the bottoms have an elastic waistband with functional tie so you can get the perfect fit. These also have pink detailing on them to tie them in with the top. And while as a co-ord, they undeniably look like pjs, I’d be incredibly tempted to wear them as separates out of the house - particularly the top, which I think would work so well with jeans or a skirt.

The set comes in at £85, but if you really wanted to go all out, you could even get the matching eye mask for £20 . If leopard print isn’t for you, the set also comes in four other designs.

I must admit I don't own any luxury pyjamas myself, as I'm quite happy with cheap and cheerful PJs as long as they're cosy and comfy. However, I recently spotted this funky PJ set from Lola + Blake on the Debenhams website that's unlike any pyjamas I've seen before, making me immediately want to add them to my PJ collection.

The pyjamas are totally worth the £88 price tag in my opinion, as the bold floral pattern with disco balls hidden within has been hand illustrated, making it wonderfully unique. Available in sizes XS to XL, the pure-cotton pyjama set comprises a long sleeve shirt and trousers that are sure to add a pop of colour to your bedroom.

Both garments feature stunning electric blue detailing and piping, and the shirt has pretty pearlised buttons. The trousers have deep pockets and both an elasticated and drawstring tie, ensuring a snug fit.

Debenhams says the Lola + Blake Floral Disco Pyjama Set has a tailored fit while being loose and comfortable for lounging in and wearing to bed. The retailer is also offering the trousers on their own for £44 if you'd prefer to mix-and-match with a different top.

If the Floral Disco print is a little too out there for you, Debenhams also sells the classic Lola + Blake pyjama set in other patterns. This includes children's and unisex pyjamas - browse the collection here.

I love a good night time unwind to get ready for a snooze — think reading a book, pillow mist, lavender hand cream — so for me, a lovely pair of pyjamas is the cherry on top of my routine. Chelsea Peers is a brand I saw cropping up all over my social media and while they do gorgeous sets of pyjamas for all year round, I think they really come into their own around the festive period.

Tapping into the bow trend this season, their Satin Ribbon Bow Print Long Pyjama Set is dreamy. It comes in at £55 for both the shirt and trousers which I think is a good price for their luxury feel and finish. They are crafted from recycled satin so you can quite literally slip into bed in comfort, and the pink bow design with piping is seriously pretty.

Available in sizes six to 16, I would prefer if the size range was a little wider as I know lots of people prefer their pyjamas to fit a little looser, but I do appreciate the addition of an elasticated drawstring. And, if you want to go all out, Chelsea Peers even offers the matching bow bedding set, too.

Lauren loves Wild Lovers Emily Top (£48) and Trousers (£42)

I'm always a sucker for a cosy pair of jarmies, but lately, I've been investing in nightwear that makes me feel sexy and comfortable. It's a tricky balance to strike — pyjamas are usually one or the other — but this Wild Lover kimono set ticks all the boxes.

This pretty set could easily be mistaken for outerwear — I've been tempted to wear it outside several times. The elegant two-tone floral design in cherry blossom pink and soft ivory is effortlessly chic, and it's complemented by graceful batwing sleeves and a low V neckline that adds just the right touch of allure.

Looks aside, the set's viscose fabric is lightweight, so I never feel overheated at night. Saying that, the long length also keeps me well covered, meaning I haven't felt chilly as temperatures have dropped. The adjustable ties on the top and trousers let me customise the fit — looser or more snug depending on my mood — and, best of all, the bottom half has pockets. Seriously, what's not to like?

Rachel loves Cyberjammies Forrest Woodland Print Pyjama Set, £52

I fell in love with Cyberjammies when I came across them on a shopping spree in John Lewis earlier this year. The brand uses a blend of BCI cotton with naturally sustainable modal, made from tree pulp, to create fabrics that are "naturally super-soft and durable, as well as breathable and moisture wicking". I've got to admit, I'm a sucker for green credentials.

But it's a new-in design that's found its way onto my Christmas list. The Forrest Woodland Pyjama Set has a charming print of woodland creatures on a forest green backdrop, finished with a gorgeous rust-coloured trim and bow.

Looking at the reviews so far, all five shoppers have left impressive 5-out-of-5 star ratings, noting that the set is "comfortable to sleep in" and "washes well", although one shopper warned others to consider sizing-up if they have wider hips, so as always, it would be worth checking out the size guide provided before placing your order.

Tiffany loves Intimissimi Men's Style Silk Pyjama Jacket and Trouser, £198
The Intimissimi set is an ultimate sleepwear with skincare benefits

There's nothing more soft and supple than silk pyjamas when it comes to luxury sleepwear and I absolutely love the Intimissimi Men's Style Silk Jacket (£99) and Trousers (£99) in "powder beige". It's lightweight and kind to skin because the hypoallergenic material helps my skin retain moisture and prevent dy, itchy skin.

There are cheaper alternatives like satin pyjamas available on the market but it does not give the same skin benefits as silk. But one thing that shoppers should have in mind is that silk pyjamas are not as stretchy as the cotton ones. I love it so much that I have been wearing it as my lougnewear and sadly, I ripped my pyjamas trousers.

One good thing is I can buy the silk trousers alone to replace the ripped one and it comes with six colours so shoppers can either go with the same shade or pick a different colour.
