Frugal Sleeping Clothing by Nikki Willhite Most people want to be comfortable when they are sleeping.   This usually involves loose clothing. Some people cannot wear flannel to bed because they get too hot when they sleep.  Nylon tricot is often used for nightgowns because it is so light.  Nylon fiber doesn't breathe, but there is usually not enough fabric for it to be a problem. If you are turning your heat down at night to save money, flannel or cotton clothing is a good option.  Girls and women can find these items in pajamas and nightgowns.  If you home is drafty, you can add a sweatshirt or other loose fitting garment.  Or you can sleep in your sweats. Layering is a good way to stay warm, and a good use for items you no longer want to wear during the day.  Children can wear t-shirts to bed, and usually stay warm.  Many families buy or pass down oversized t-shirts to children for sleeping. All knit clothing stretches.  One of the most frugal clothing strategies for sleeping is just to repurpose worn knit items for bed. What isn't frugal (for women) is buying silk pajamas, or lace trimmed nightgowns with matching robes for normal night wear.  Keep those special pieces to a minimum.  Another good clothing strategy for sleeping wear is to give these items as gifts for birthdays and other special occasions. Your daughters may want a special pair of pajamas to wear when they go to slumber parties, but again, keep the "daily" wear items more practical. There are lots of beautiful items to buy in the department stores, but if you need to be careful how you spend your money, think about being more practical on an "every day" basis.
