At a glance

The Children’s Place plaid is the cotton set to buy

Best overall

The Children's Place Family Matching Christmas Pajamas, Cotton

2,517 ratings at 4.6, a 100% cotton buffalo-plaid bear and moose print sold for each family member.

4.6from 2,517 verified reviews
Specifications for The Children's Place Family Matching Christmas Pajamas, Cotton
Fabric100% cotton
FitSnug, rib-knit cuffs
CareMachine wash

2,517 ratings at 4.6. Owners praise the cotton, the softness and the comfort, and the bear and moose print on buffalo plaid photographs well. The listing states 100% cotton with a rib-knit crew neck, banded cuffs and a pull-on waist, sold separately for each member of the family.

Fit is the split: some owners find it true to size, others say the tops are tight and the shirts run small. That is partly by design for the children’s sizes, which the next box explains.

Cotton sets for children are cut snug for a reason

The 2 sets from The Children’s Place both state the snug-fit rule on their listings, and the Butterblu listing calls its toddler and kids’ sets snug. The 1,060-rating gingerbread set is the best-rated on this page, at 4.7, but it stops at kids’ sizes.

Best for siblings

The Children's Place Sibling Matching Christmas Pajamas, Cotton

1,060 ratings at 4.7, a snug 100% cotton gingerbread print in baby and kids' sizes only.

FitSnug, for children
SizesBaby and kids

1,060 ratings at 4.7. Owners love the gingerbread cookie print, the softness and the fit, and one notes a longer torso and leg than expected. The listing states 100% cotton and OEKO-TEX Standard 100.

Durability splits owners: some say it survives many washes, others report holes within a few. There are no adult sizes, so it suits a photo of the children rather than of the whole family.

331 ratings at 4.6. Owners call it buttery and silky-cool, and like the print. The listing states 95% modal and 5% elastane, a midweight jersey, in a relaxed button-front cut with a notch collar, a patch pocket and contrast piping at the cuffs. Wash it cold and line dry.

Size is the complaint: some owners say it is true to the measurements, others that it runs big. The listing gives garment measurements, so check them before ordering.

210 ratings at 4.6. Owners call it soft enough to pass for premium organic cotton, and like the prints. The listing states GOTS-certified organic cotton with 3% recycled elastane, women’s and men’s sizes XXS to XXL, kids 8 to 14, toddler 2T to 7Y and baby newborn to 24 months, plus adjustable pet bandanas.

Fit is mixed: some owners find it true to size, others a little tight. Value splits too, which is the usual complaint about organic cotton.

IFFEI is the playful set, and the care label is the catch

IFFEI Family Christmas Pajamas with Elf Tops and Pockets

FabricPolyester, spandex, cotton

RangeAdults, kids, baby bodysuits, pet bandanas

1,465 ratings at 4.6. Owners call it soft and fun, and say it fits a whole family well. The listing describes cotton-rich graphic tops, stretch plaid pants with side pockets, a drawstring on the adult pants, baby bodysuits and pet bandanas.

The care label says hand wash only, and owners report lettering coming off after washing. Warmth splits as well. It is a Christmas-morning set rather than one for every night of winter.

PajamaGram is the warm one, in a roomier cut

PajamaGram Family Christmas Pajamas, Plaid

3,380 ratings at 4.4, a plaid pant and solid top that owners call warm, sized from infants to adults and dogs.

Specifications for PajamaGram Family Christmas Pajamas, Plaid
StylesRed and green, gray, modern plaid
RangeAdults, kids, toddlers, infants, dogs
CareMachine wash

3,380 ratings at 4.4, the most-rated set here. Owners describe warm fleece, extra room for lounging, and a good fit for the whole family. The listing offers 3 plaid colourways and sizes for adults, boys, girls, toddlers, infants and dogs, and says its children’s sleepwear is snug-fitting or flame resistant.

The listing does not state the fibre on its fabric line. Sizing splits, with several owners saying the tops run small, and owners disagree on whether it is worth what it costs.

Buy it if

  • A cold house on Christmas morning

Don't buy it if

  • Anyone with broad shoulders, as tops run small

Fabric decides who sleeps warm

Cotton breathes, modal drapes and feels cool, and fleece holds heat. Most families will be happiest with cotton for the children and whatever suits the adults’ bedroom temperature.
