Whether you’re crawling into your own bed minutes after the kids’ bedtime, staying up for hours trying to deal with the dregs of your to-do list, or watching TV into the wee hours even though you’ll pay for it tomorrow, you deserve to be comfortable. Here’s a guide to our favorite robes, slippers, and PJs…so that even if their bedtime is a disaster, yours won’t be.

waffle robe in white
Parachute

A waffle robe for peak spa vibes…

Sure, the last time you made it to the spa was four years ago and the closest you’ve gotten to a facial was when your 1-year-old hurled yogurt at your eye during dinner last week. But take a long shower and put this Turkish cotton waffle robe on, and you might forget that for a couple of minutes. Win. ($149, Parachute)

cotton pajamas
Lake

Cute PJs made from pima cotton…

If you get the kids new PJs every year, but you’re still wearing your high school volleyball T-shirt and some ratty old leggings, this is your sign to think about a new pair for yourself. These 100% cotton pajamas come in nine different pastel patterns, from coral stripes to tiny green hearts. ($114, Lake)

hotel-like fluffy robe
Hill House Home

The “hotel robe” of your dreams…

And it’s infinitely better than an actual hotel robe, because you’ll always know exactly how clean it is. This 100% cotton robe makes a supremely good gift—be it for one of your favorite people or just for yourself. There are four design/print options, and three sizes that fit up to 3X. ($148, Hill House Home)

short sleeve pajama set
Eberjey

Short-sleeve PJs you’ll want to wear year-round…

Comfortable and chic, these Eberjey PJs are ultra-popular for a reason. The piped button-down design makes you look put together (even if you’re just looking at yourself in the mirror), and you can choose from white, black, pastel pink, and a handful of other options. Add a monogram if you’re feeling extra fancy. (These also make a fantastic gift.) ($118, Eberjey)

target short sleeve pajamas
Target

And a Target dupe you can stock up on…

You may not want to fill your drawers with $118 pairs of PJs, and that’s where this set from Target comes in. It looks extremely similar to the set mentioned above, and while the fabric isn’t quite as luxe, it’s still comfortable enough that you’ll be reaching for these constantly. If you prefer a longer PJ pant, check out this version, too. ($21.99, Target)

nightgown in navy
Gap

A nightgown that’s ideal for nursing…

If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, grab a few of these so you’ll always be comfortable at night. The light fabric is perfect if you’re running hot in those last few months before giving birth, and once your baby arrives, you can use the clip-down top for easy nursing access, day or night. ($49.95, Gap)

Buy it
plush lounge socks
Cozy Earth

Lounge socks to put on as soon as you get home…

Think of these as a halfway point between regular socks and your favorite slippers. Made from polyester, bamboo viscose, and elastane, they’re ultra-soft, available in lots of colors, and easy to clean—just wash and dry in the machine. They even have a warranty against pilling. Did we mention they’re one of Oprah’s favorite things? Bottom line, you want these. ($55/3-pack, Cozy Earth)

striped pink sleep shirt
Soma

A sleep shirt that will keep you cool…

If you’re experiencing hot flashes, or just generally someone who gets a little toasty at night, Soma’s “Cool Nights” collection should be on your radar. This sleep shirt (which comes in two patterns) is cute enough to pack for your next vacation, and the rayon-and-spandex blend will help ensure you don’t overheat. ($59, Soma)

Buy it
fur lined slipper
Quince

An Ugg slipper dupe that comes in three cute colors…

For the Ugg vibe at a lower price point, check out these Quince slippers made from suede and Australian shearling. With three color options, including a particularly pretty black, this is a house shoe you’ll be happy to show off. ($49.90, Quince)

Buy it
outdoor slippers in beige
L.L.Bean

Slippers you can easily wear outside…

If you’re the kind of person who likes a day-to-night slipper situation, these suede and shearling clogs have the added benefit of an outsole that can stand up to leaving the house. So keep your slippers on while you’re taking out the garbage, walking the dog, or just drinking your morning coffee on the porch. ($89, L.L.Bean)

Buy it
slippers with support in black
Vionic

Slippers that have great support…

When it comes to slippers, comfortable doesn’t just mean warm and fuzzy—some of us need that extra level of support in all our shoes. Vionics offer orthotic support that still looks cute, and these slippers (which you can easily wear outside) are no exception. They’re lined with faux shearling and come in black and grey. ($90, Vionic)
