2021 Pajama Store Reviews

Sleepy Heads

• Return Policy: 30 days

Sleepy Heads undoubtedly wins our 5 star rating. Shoppers will find fun PJ's, robes and slippers in various styles and fabrics for the whole family at this website. They boast a large selection of night shirts, short sets and more for women and pajama sets, footed PJ's and more for men. The most unique and fun option we found at this website were the matching pajamas for the whole family.

Sleepy Heads hits the mark by offering the best selection of pajamas and nightwear from the top 25 designers. Shoppers may choose from fun and comfy options from Oscar de la Renta, Karen Neuberger, Emerson Street and many more. The website is designed to easily navigate their robust selection. Choose from women's, men's, footed, family matching, robes, wraps and more. Further define your search via additional shipping options and categories like color, designer, fabric, and size.

Should you not be satisfied with your purchase, Sleepy Heads gives customers 30 days to return purchases for a full refund minus any free shipping. We liked that shipping is free on any orders $79 or greater. This was the most generous shipping offer among the competition. Sleepy Heads has another customer friendly option, they offer gift boxes and cards for pajama gifts.

Overall, the selection at Sleepy Heads is second to none. The options are diverse for the entire family and the prices are competitive. If you are looking for pajamas for yourself, a family member or a friend Sleepy Heads should be your first choice.

Pajama City

• Return Policy: 90 days

If you love footed pajamas Pajama City is the store for you. Online shoppers will find a huge selection of fun and unique footed pajamas for both men and women. We couldn't help but laugh at some of the pattern and pictures found at this 'site. What we found unique about Pajama City is they provide footed PJ's for people as tall as 7 feet. So for those hard to fit, guys and gals in your life, Pajama City is a great place to find fun and cozy footed PJ's.

Shoppers will also find a selection of footed costumes that perhaps are versatile enough to serve as PJ's. We saw a selection of sock monkeys, gnomes, and wolves that are available in sizing for both men and women. They also offer fun scarves, oven blankets and more. All of their products are made by this company using fleece or cotton flannel to fit in any climate. They also offer a drop seat (to assist at bathroom time), regular back (with no easy access), regular feet and convertible feet (which may be slid off and rolled up).

The policies at Pajama City are friendly such as, a no hassle 90 day return policy and they guarantee the quality of their PJ's up to 6 months. Shipping, which can really drive up the price at many stores, is a flat $7.95. If you need your PJ's in a hurry, they also offer additional shipping choices.

For fun and comfortable footed PJ's we can't imagine shopping anywhere else than Pajama City. Their huge selection of fabrics, diverse sizing and friendly customer policies put this company high on our list.

The Cat's Pajamas

• Return Policy: 30 days

If you're looking for fun and unusual adult PJ's, The Cat's Pajamas is a great place to shop. They sell a diverse selection of men and women's pajamas, night shirts, and night gowns, in various materials and designs. All of their products are unique and only sold here. However, these are not the most affordable PJ's available today.

It's not often that you find men's pajama pants with a sushi print or a crossword puzzle pattern. They also have more elegant floral prints for women that are both beautiful and unique. We also liked the style and unusual tailoring found with their selection. These look like something you might find in a small boutique with unusual wares.

Navigating The Cat's Pajamas is easy. The majority of options are available on the left hand side to find your type of pajama. Sizes range from extra small to extra large and are not always available in every size.

The customer policies at The Cat's Pajamas are friendly. We liked the $5.00 flat rate shipping, the option to expedite the order, and the gift box option if we want to send something as a present to friends or family. They will also allow for returns on any unused, unworn products within 30 days of purchase.

For those willing to spend a little more and that like unique, high quality PJ's and nightgowns, The Cat's Pajamas is a great place to shop. We liked that many of their products are made in the U.S. and that they offer something unusual than your typical retail store offerings.

Essential Apparel

• Return Policy: 60 days

Essential Apparel won't win any awards for the look and feel of their website but they do offer affordably priced pajamas from a number of popular designers. We found selections from Karen Neuberger, Jockey, Eileen West, Hello Kitty, Paul Frank, State O Main and many more for women and men.

For men they offer pajama sets, pants, boxers and a few robes. The selection for women includes nightgowns, pajama sets, boxer shorts, pants, and sleep shirts. When comparing Essential Apparel's prices to competitors we found they were about average with others. We did find a great deal on some clearance pajamas and the Paul Frank PJ pants were super cheap.

As mentioned before, this is not the most attractive website but it is functional. Simply type in Pajamas in the search field and then narrow down the results using the options to the left such as gender, category, brand, color and price.

You'll also find customer friendly policies at Essential Apparel. Shipping is free on orders over $49, otherwise there's a flat rate $4.95 option for smaller purchases. Items may also be expedited if you're in a hurry. The return policy is a generous 60 days on unworn pajamas in original condition and with tags.

Essential Apparel isn't an eye pleasing pajama website but they have a decent selection of many of the practical pajamas options many of us use daily. You might even find a few cute choices, as well. A decent return policy and well priced shipping put Essential Apparel in the middle of our list.

Pajama Mania

• Return Policy: 30 days

Pajama Mania has a somewhat limited selection of sleepwear. This retailer primarily carries its own brands, Pajama Mania and Pajama Heaven, with a small number of items in the soft, SleepyHeads, and Frankie & Johnny lines.

That being said, we were impressed with how many color, pattern, and fabric options were available at Pajama Mania - and at very reasonable prices. For example, we found several bamboo top and bottom sets for under $25, and even more satin sets for under $20. However, we were able to find many Pajama Mania sets sold by other retailers, including a competitor we reviewed, at lower prices than on the Pajama Mania site itself. We would have liked to see lower prices from the brand's own website, or at least a price match guarantee.

The easiest way to shop the Pajama Mania site is to use the drop-down boxes to choose among their available styles and fabrics. You can also shop by brand or by color, if either of those are important in your search for the perfect sleepwear. Be sure to check out the different patterns and colors available in the style you select; most of the pajamas we saw had at least three different options, and some had as many as 15 or more.

Pajama Mania is the only retailer in our review to offer free shipping on all orders within the continental United States, which could save you a decent amount of money if your order is small.

This store's return policy is comparable to other pajama sellers': to get a refund, credit, or exchange, items must be unused and unwashed and returned within 30 days. Pajama Mania does extend the return period for the holiday season, allowing purchases made in November and December to be returned by the end of January.

In short, if you're looking for pajamas at a good price and want to save money on shipping, Pajama Mania might have what you're looking for. We do recommend that you comparison shop carefully, however, given that we found some of the Pajama Mania brand sleepwear for lower prices on competitor websites.

Alexander Del Rossa

• Return Policy: 14 days

Alexander Del Rossa is in the market to provide shoppers bathrobes, boxer shorts, pajamas and lounge wear. They offer a wide variety of items but not much of a selection and we'll explain further. Shoppers will find men's bathrobes, fleece pajamas, long pajama sets, satin pajamas and more but when they click on the link the selection is very limited. We wanted to rank them higher but the return policy got in the way.

For those unaware, Alexander Del Rossa is an actual designer and this website serves to provide shoppers access to only his products. While the selection wasn't as abundant as we like, they do have many attractive and very affordable pajama options. For those on a budget, you will find a selection of night shirts starting at $9.99, and robes from $34.99. Not everything is priced on the value side. We found a 5 pack of cotton boxers for $32.99 and that seemed expensive given the competitors pricing.

The Alexander Del Rossa website is a bit cumbersome. The pictures are bright and vivid but the organization made us a little dizzy. We found the best way to navigate was to only focus on the left hand side "Our Products" list to direct us to the pajamas. The website does allow you to narrow down by price and type and others but only one at a time. So if you want to find a men's robe for a specific dollar range you are out of luck.

The customer policies at Alexander Del Rossa were a bit disappointing. They do offer free shipping on items over $100 but for smaller orders we saw $9.50 and higher shipping costs. We also had great concern with the return policy. It's listed at 14 days on most items. That means that not everything can be returned and you only have 2 weeks to get it done.

Some attractive pajama options at Alexander Del Rossa but the selection and customer policies dropped this online store in our ranking. We hope they change their return policy in the near future.

Cool Jams

• Return Policy: No time specified

Cool-Jams is a pajama store that meets a very specific niche of customers. For those that require pajamas to help keep them cool at night, this is the place for you. We were hoping that "Cool" meant "awesome", "cute", or "unique" but that is not the case. The selection is practical and important for some.

We think this is a great place to shop for those that suffer from night sweats or sleep in warmer climates and need help maintaining a comfortable nights sleep. Shoppers will find women's and men's pajama options. In fact, the selection is broken down into wicking separates, wicking nightgowns, wicking pajamas. The men's selection is limited to 1 shirt, 1 pair of pants and 1 type of short. Women have a much more robust selection. We saw some attractive options in sizes small to 3x. Cool-Jams allows sleepers to look good and feel comfortable while they sleep.

The customer policies are pretty standard at Cool-Jams. Customer may return any PJ's for a full refund minus shipping costs as long as all original packaging is included. The website does not specify a time frame requirement. Free ground shipping exists for purchases over $100.00. Comments and questions may only be directed via an online email form.

While they didn't rank high that was only due to the fact that their selection is only designed to meet a particular group of people and is very limited. Cool-Jams is not the PJ store for most shoppers but does offer a great selection for those in the market for moisture wicking breathable material.
