If summer nights have you kicking off the covers, it's probably time for cooler pajamas.
I’m a hot sleeper, so nothing ruins a good night's rest faster than waking up hot, sticky, and tangled in heavy pajamas. But cooling sleepwear has come a long way, with lightweight bamboo, washable silk, and moisture-wicking fabrics that help you stay more comfortable through the night. Whether you're looking for a matching set, a breezy nightgown, or something soft enough to lounge in after your morning coffee, I found plenty of cool-to-the-touch pajama sets from Nordstrom, Cozy Earth, Eberjey, Soma, and more, starting at just $13.

Ekouaer Sleeveless Cooling Pajama Set

This matching set feels especially nice on warm nights, thanks to its naturally cooling bamboo viscose material. One shopper called the set "incredibly soft and lightweight," adding, "It feels like one of those sets you put on and immediately want to buy in more colors." The relaxed V-neck tank top has a pretty scalloped trim, while the stretchy shorts give you plenty of room to move around.
Cozy Earth First Layer Pajama Set, $80 with code PEOPLE

Cozy Earth has become a favorite sleepwear brand of mine (and Oprah!), and this matching set is an easy example of why. The cotton-and-bamboo blend feels buttery-soft and breathable, while the relaxed tee and boxer shorts are comfortable enough for sleeping or slow mornings around the house. Right now, you can save 15 percent sitewide with code PEOPLE through July 6.
Soma Cool Nights Short-Sleeve Nightgown

I also have a Soma Cool Nights set in my pajama rotation. The fabric feels cool against my skin and never sticks or clings, even on warmer nights. This nightgown is made from the same lightweight material, comes in a dozen prints, and is 71 percent off.
