2025 Pajama Store Reviews

Bedhead PJs

• Pajama options for the whole family (including pets)
• Sizes range from 3M-3X
• Prices typically between $88 to $120
• Free shipping on orders over $150
• 30-day returns on unworn, unwashed merchandise
• Complimentary loyalty program
• "A+” rated by the BBB

Established in 1998 by Los Angeles-based designer Renee Claire, BedHead PJs offers a range of ultrasoft pajamas crafted from organically grown cotton certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), along with eco-friendly materials and trims. This commitment reflects a forward-looking, sustainable approach to craftsmanship, helping customers enjoy their best night's sleep. In addition to emphasizing lasting construction, timeless looks, and environmental consciousness, BedHead PJs embraces inclusive sizing, providing perfect-fit sleepwear ranging from 3 months to 3X.

West Coast-inspired styles

With over 50 unique prints available, including hand-drawn florals, stylish stripes, and whimsical scenes, BedHead PJs offers a diverse selection inspired by West Coast surroundings. Collaborations with artists and iconic design houses worldwide further enrich the collection, creating prints that are universal, conversational, and cheerful.

Many ways to start shopping

Where should you start your pajama adventure here? On the main page, you could begin with New Arrivals, or maybe the current seasonal theme (like Valentine Shop or Christmas). Or, take a look at the fun categories: sure, you'll find the usual women/men/children/family collections, but also "Celebrations”, "Bridal”, and even "Pet” (why shouldn't Rover be comfy at bedtime too?).

Super-easy to sort options and see customers' ratings

But, to make a fair comparison across pajama stores, we decided to look at two specific areas: women's pajamas and family sets. In the women's category, there were over 130 options, easily sorted by fabric, size, color, print, price, or style. We love how BedHead PJs makes it so simple to get right to the jammies you might already have in mind; no sifting through options with long sleeves and pants if you just need something airy (and short) for the summer. One of the most popular sets at BedHead PJs is the Navy Shadow Blossom Short Sleeve Cropped Stretch Jersey PJ Set: across more than 30 reviews, these jammies get a 4.65-star average (and, PS, we love that BedHead PJs allows people to leave unfiltered comments/ratings on their pajamas, even though not all of their styles have reviews posted).

Cute styles to get matchy-matchy

For families, BedHead PJs had seven different designs on offer during our visit: Alpine Fair Isle, Forest Friends, Backcountry Bears (so cute!), Eternal Blooms, Dachshund, Through the Snow, Fairytale Forest, and Berry Bliss. Not every design has options for the gents - let's be real about the fact that our menfolk probably would refuse to suffer through a photo shoot wearing pajamas with strawberries all over them - but in the patterns that do have them, we appreciate that there are multiple styles (like a solid color henley top with patterned bottoms OR a classic top/bottom in the same print).

Ample details, from measurements to care instructions

Sensitive to certain fabrics? Not sure about the washing instructions? BedHead PJs gives you everything you need to know on each product's page, from materials and measurements (sleeve length, inseam) to product care. Figure on needing to wash most of your jammies from this store in cold water on the gentle cycle, with a tumble dry on low.

Competitively priced for the quality

Most of the pajama options here are priced between $88 and $120, so keep an eye out for discount offers as you browse the BedHead PJs site. During our last visit to the online store, we got a 15% savings on any full-price purchase when we signed up for their email list. And, no matter when you shop, you'll always get free shipping if you spend over $150 (which is pretty easy to do here).

Don't miss the free loyalty program

Think you might become a frequent shopper at BedHead PJs? If so, it's worth it to sign up for their Insiders loyalty program. It's free to join, and besides earning points on every purchase, it'll get you access to some perks like a free birthday gift, early access to sales and events, and 15% off during seasonal promotions. As soon as you spend $500 in a year, you're upgraded to the Trendsetter tier: included in this loyalty level are free returns by mail, 20% savings during special events, and gifts to welcome you and at your "anniversary” of joining, plus free standard shipping on every order. Spend at least $1500 in a year, and BedHead PJs will designate you a "superstar”: free expedited shipping, 25% savings during special events, and all the perks of the first two tiers.

Current customer reviews are mostly 5 stars

Shopper (or sleeper?) feedback for BedHead PJs itself is a little love/hate. On the one hand, the pajama store's reputation is good enough to earn an "A+” rating from the Better Business Bureau; there were zero complaints filed there over the last year, so obviously this isn't an online retailer that's disappointing people left and right. But, the contrast between reviews left on Trustpilot (averaging 1.8 stars across 500+ ratings) and Google (averaging 4.6 stars across 300+ ratings) is striking - and a little confusing. Here's the good news: the comments and ratings on Trustpilot are fairly old (we're talking mostly 2018 and earlier), while Google's were from the last few months. Those customers raved about the quality of the fabrics, the delightfulness of the prints, and the excellent service received from BedHead PJs' reps. So, we feel pretty safe concluding that whatever the deal was with Trustpilot's reviewers, it has nothing to do with what BedHead PJS is doing now.

Easy (and free) in-person returns

And, if you get your PJs delivered and they're not to your liking when you try them on, you'll have 30 days to return them for a refund. BedHead PJs takes advantage of the Happy Returns network, which lets you send your pajamas back at no cost to you (and most people live within 10 miles of a "Return Bar”). If you want to send them back by traditional mail, you'll have $8 deducted from your refund. Just make sure your PJs are unworn and unwashed to be eligible for that refund or for an exchange.

Top pick for cute, comfy pajamas

We're happy to give BedHead PJs our #1 spot among pajama stores. You'll have lots of styles to choose from, all backed by a fantastic customer support team and easy returns from just about anywhere if you need a refund or an exchange. Just don't forget to sign up for the loyalty program before you make your first purchase.

PajamaGram

• Hundreds of styles of pajamas for all ages and sizes
• Designed to be sent as a gift
• Prices typically range from $10 to $165
• Personalization/monogramming available
• Lots of gifting add-ons
• 60-day "Love-It Guarantee”, even if you've worn the PJs
• Hundreds (or thousands) of reviews on most jammies

Knock knock. Who's there? It's a PajamaGram! Designed to be giftable, the jammies here are available for people of all ages and most sizes (and even your furry friends). As a part of The Vermont Teddy Bear Company, PajamaGram wants to make it fun and easy to send something cute and cozy to your favorite person or pet.

Hundreds of styles and patterns

You'll find a ton of pajama styles here, but let's take a look at what's on offer for women and as sets for families (but hey, friends could get in on that too). In the women's category alone, you'll find over 200 options, ranging from Happy Birthday jammies on sale for $18 to a Cozy Escape pajama set for $114.99 (marked down from its regular retail price of $164.99)

Makes matching easy

And, when it comes to the matchy-matchy, PajamaGram has a whole category just for that, including a cute section for #PajamagramFamilyPhotos. They take matching to a whole new level with categories for Family, Couples, Dog/Owner, and Cat/Owner. And, instead of having to click through options that might not work for the configuration of people you're trying to jammie-up, PajamaGram has a Perfect Pajama Planner: click on the filters to include your demographic (women/men/pets or women/toddlers) and see only what's in stock in the approximate sizes and styles you'll need. There were over 80 designs to choose from, understandably weighted towards Christmas/winter/holiday patterns but also with some more neutral options (like green and blue plaid, dog and cat themes, and even Grateful Dead).

Let shopper reviews and best sellers be your guide

Not sure where to start? The Best Sellers category is a great place to begin browsing. We love that so many of the pajama options at PajamaGram have hundreds of unfiltered reviews from buyers, letting you know which PJs live up to the hype and which might be best left unbought. The most popular ones we spotted were the Naturally Nude Pajamas with over 2000 reviews (averaging about 4.3 stars out of 5). These women's pajamas range in size from XS to 3X, come in 4 colors, and can be purchased in regular, petite, or tall (depending on in-stock availability at the time of your shopping trip, of course).

Upgrade your gift-giving

And, because this pajama store is all about gifting, you'll see lots of options during checkout. Want to personalize the PJs with the recipient's name or monogram for $12.99? How about upgraded packaging for $5.99 to $12.99? You can also choose from some fun add-ons, like a heart box of chocolates, body lotion, or sugar scrub (prices vary). The personalized gift card is free, though.

Frequent promos and discounts

While nothing here is overly expensive, PajamaGram is the king of deals and promotions. At the time of our most recent visit, they were offering a 30% off sitewide discount, free shipping on all orders, and a free pair of pet PJs with any full-priced adult jammies. We also got a spin-to-win with prizes ranging from $5 to $10 off.

Complaints aren't hard to find...

PajamaGram's parent brand, The Vermont Teddy Bear Company, gets a solid "B+” rating from the Better Business Bureau. However, that better-than-average grade doesn't seem to hold for PajamaGram itself. Yelp, Trustpilot, Sitejabber, you name it: everyone who goes there has something negative to say about their experience with PajamaGram. Comments left within just a few days of our visit to the store referenced poor quality sleepwear that fell apart in the dryer, difficulties with returns and exchanges, seemingly sneaky tactics with discounts and refund amounts, the list goes on and on.

...but compliments abound too

On the other hand, reviews verified by Yotpo (and visible on PajamaGram's Google listing) seem to average much better, in the neighborhood of 4.5 stars out of 5. We still saw many of the same complaints (shipping took a long time, pajamas fell apart not long after washing, not great customer service), but on the whole, the customers dropping reviews there were happy with the overall PajamaGram experience. There were even quite a few compliments from return customers who said that this is their significant others' favorite brand of PJs.

Exceptional, generous return policy

Another thing the company has going for it is their 60-day "Love-It Guarantee”. Most of their competitors only give you a month to decide if your jammies should be sent back, and they have to be in unused, unwashed condition. PajamaGram makes no such exceptions, but be aware that "normal wear & tear” won't be covered.

Huge improvements = second-place pajama store

All of this is enough to bump PajamaGram up quite a bit in our ratings. The "Love-It Guarantee” is a huge win over rival pajama stores, and goes a long way to balance out some of the complaints we saw about shrinking. You've got plenty of customer reviews on most of the jammies you might be wanting to send (and, by the way, no one said you couldn't treat yourself with some comfy, cute sleepwear too). Lots of gifting options, huge selection for every age range, no-guesswork matching sets, and PJs for pets are all reasons why we recommend taking a look at PajamaGram.

The Cat's Pajamas

• Offers women's pajamas + some "Mommy & Me” styles + some men's options
• Hundreds of styles to choose from
• Sizes typically available in XS-2XL
• Prices typically range from $60 to $136
• Free shipping/returns on orders over $100
• 30-day return window (from ship date, not delivery date)
• In business since 1998

Since its inception in Berkeley in 1998, The Cat's Pajamas has been a beacon of stylish, consciously crafted sleepwear, delighting customers with indulgent comfort and playful designs. Now headquartered in sunny Santa Monica near Bergamot Station, the company continues to honor its roots while embracing innovation, offering new patterns, cuts, and luxurious fabrics like the 100% cotton Luxe Pima and the Pima Knit blend of Pima Cotton, Modal, and elastane. With a commitment to California-made pajamas and an expansion to Peru to utilize the exquisite Pima cotton sourced from the Andes Mountains, the company prioritizes sustainability and fair labor practices.

Mostly for women

The vast majority of the sleepwear offered by this pajama store is for women. Theoretically, you could browse all of the options at once, but it's probably easier if you choose a style, fabric, or print that you might prefer. And, if you're shopping for a seasonal set, look for that option in the site navigation (Valentine's Day, Christmas, and so on).

Everything from classic to quirky

Not sure where to start? Try using the Best Sellers link to see some of The Cat's Pajamas' most loved styles. The Classic Pima Knit Pajama offers the most basic two-piece look; it comes in five colors and sizes from XS-2XL (though the 1XL and 2XL were out of stock at the time of our visit to the online store). Across nearly 350 reviews, these pajamas earned a near-perfect 4.9-star average, with plenty of ladies saying that these are the most comfy PJs they've ever owned. Want some jammies that no one else at the PJ party will be wearing? Check out the Sushi Flannel sets, available in two patterns and also featured in the Best Sellers category. Whether you want a crazy pattern or a classic design, The Cat's Pajamas will give you plenty to choose from.

Some styles for men and children

Because The Cat's Pajamas primarily offers sleepwear for women, there's no need for us to try and compare what they offer for matching family sets. However, there are some styles in the "Mommy & Me” section, and a few options for men as well.

Free shipping on $100+

Look for a pop-up while you're shopping The Cat's Pajamas: we were offered a 10% discount for signing up for the pajama store's newsletter with our email address. Prices here usually fall in the $60 to $136 range, but you'll have to spend more than $100 to qualify for free shipping and returns.

30-day return timeframe but fast exchanges

Speaking of returns, you'll have 30 days from the shipping date (not the date of delivery) to request a refund or exchange on your pajamas. They have to be in unworn, unwashed, and undamaged condition to qualify. The good news is that if you're looking to do an exchange, you can get an instant credit on the site; select the new size or style you're looking for, and as soon as The Cat's Pajamas receives notification that the original PJs have been turned over to the postal carrier for the return, they'll send out your new sleepwear.

Lots of 5-star reviews on most pajamas

Although we couldn't find a rating for this pajama store with the Better Business Bureau, and the ratings left at Trustpilot only averaged out to a "just okay” 3.3 stars out of 5, we're not concerned. When you look at the reviews across all the styles of PJs sold by The Cat's Pajamas, it's clear that most of them are quite popular (to the tune of perfect 5-star ratings).

Easily earns a high rating for women's pajamas

If you're looking for cute or classic women's jammies in super-comfortable fabrics, be sure to check out what The Cat's Pajamas has in stock. While their lack of options for the rest of the family keep this pajama store from earning our highest rating, the quality of the PJs and their popularity with women across the size and age spectrum have earned The Cat's Pajamas a high rating here.

Petite Plume

• Pajamas for men, women, and children
• All sleepwear made from cotton or silk
• Monogramming available ($20)
• Prices typically range from $70 to $290
• Free shipping on orders of $125+
• 14-day return/exchange policy
• In business since 2015

Petite Plume offers comfortable yet sophisticated pajamas made of finest-quality cotton and silk. This is the pajama store for you if elegance and sophistication are your style. While you may have spotted Petite Plume jammies at some of your favorite high-end retailers (we're talking Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, and so on), you'll find the best selection of their sleepwear through their own online store. Fun fact: look up the background of Petite Plume founder Emily Hikade. It'll surprise you!

Classic, elegant styles in somewhat limited sizes

For all of the pajama retailers we evaluated, we took a closer look at the options for women and for matching sets. Petite Plume is true to their word: their styles are absolutely on the classic, sophisticated side, so you'll find gingham and solid patterns and nothing crazy or whimsical. Their size range has some room for improvement; we didn't see anything offered over a L/XL, leaving out a large swath of prospective buyers.

Insta-worthy matching sets

In the Family Matching section, it was refreshing not to have to sift through some of the garish holiday-themed styles you'll spot on other pajama stores. Petite Plume sticks to antique red ticking, solid flannel, white with red piping, gingham, and so on. For matching pajamas that complement your Instagram-ready home decor, Petite Plume is your best option for a classy-casual Christmas card photo shoot in your PJs. For some added style, you can typically include monogramming (for a $20 fee); just look for that option on the pajama page before you add it to your cart.

Prices are surprisingly affordable

Given that all of the pajamas here are made of top-quality cotton or silk, you might be surprised that they're not much more expensive than some rival sleepwear stores. On most of the PJs we looked at, pricing ranged from $70 to $290 in adult sizes. Still, who doesn't love a discount? Look for a pop-up when you first visit the Petite Plume store, and you might get 15% off plus VIP access to limited-edition collections if you share your email address. You'll have to spend at least $125 to get free shipping, though.

Only 2 weeks for returns

We're not super impressed by Petite Plume's return window: you'll only have 14 days to request a refund or exchange. Other pajama stores give you 30 days, and at least one gives you up to 60, which makes Petite Plume look a little customer-unfriendly by comparison.

Where are the reviews on the PJs?

We also wish there was more feedback from shoppers about Petite Plume's sleepwear. We were thinking, "Okay, they've been around since 2015 and are featured at high-end retailers, so their Bestsellers sleepwear should have plenty of comments.” Not so: even for the Women's Navy Classic Flannel Pajama Set, there wasn't a single review. You might find some of that when you spot Petite Plume at a third-party retailer like Bloomie's, but we don't love that Petite Plume expects customers to just take their word for it (then again, maybe the typical Petite Plume shopper can't be bothered to leave a review?)

Wonderful pajamas, but store could use some improvements

We're willing to give Petite Plume a good rating for offering pajamas in luxury fabrics and classic designs for the whole family. Based on what we found on retailer sites that sell the brand, it's easy to see that these PJs are high-quality, almost timeless, and made to last for many nights of sweet dreams. But, with a much shorter return window and next to no customer reviews (even on their own website), Petite Plume comes in as just a little bit above average as a pajama store in its own right.

Big Feet PJs

• Onesie-style pajamas (with or without feet)
• Styles available for all ages, most sizes
• Most pajamas priced between $10 to $70
• Free shipping on all orders in the US
• 30-day return policy
• "A+” rated by the BBB
• Over 1,000 5-star reviews

Since 2005, Big Feet Pajamas, based in Port Orchard, WA, has been a trusted family brand, renowned globally for its high-quality footed pajamas for men, women, and children of all sizes. The company, recognized for reintroducing the iconic drop seat, or butt flap, footed onesie pajamas for adults, has earned numerous accolades for its commitment to comfort, style, and innovation. Its distinctive aesthetic has graced the stages of Broadway, screens big and small, and the social media feeds of celebrities from the realms of music, film, television, and professional sports.

Year-round source of onesie pajamas

Obviously, this style of pajamas is rather niche. Goofy Christmas photos? Themed sleepovers? You got it. If you've been disappointed by the limited selection of onesie/footie pajamas at Target and Walmart at the holidays (or the absolutely nil selection anywhere at other times of the year), Big Feet PJs will 100% have your back (...and bottom... and feet... ).

Selection isn't as vast as you might expect

Big Feet Pajamas doesn't separate their sleepwear by men's or women's styles, just adults. So, we looked at the whole big-person selection for our comparison, and came away a little disappointed by the meager options. Across all of the styles for adults, there were just 11 choices at the time of our visit to the online store: camouflage with or without feet, a couple of plaids, a couple of patterns, and that's about it. Not exactly the onesie wonderland we were expecting. They were all reasonably priced between $29 and $54.98, and all orders in the US ship for free, so at least that's a plus.

Some people might be sized out

How about family sets? Most of the patterns in the adult section were there, as well as a silly "Blasting Area Butt Flap” design that would probably land fairly well as a Dad Joke if that's your thing. Just be aware that for adults, anyway, the sizing only goes up to people who are 6'3” and 230 lbs. as a rough estimate; these aren't truly "something for everyone” onesies by any means.

Well-liked by most customers

We're happy to report that Big Feet PJs has an "A+” rating from the Better Business Bureau and zero complaints there. Feedback via Trustpilot is lukewarm at best, but most of the reviews there were from several years ago. Fortunately, when we looked at the link on the Big Feet PJs site to their 1700+ independently-verified reviews, we saw that almost 1400 of them gave this pajama store a perfect five-star rating. Most of those were from recently-placed orders, so the shoppers didn't have much to say about the pajamas themselves yet, but we still read lots of comments praising the selection, quality, and fit of the PJs here.

30 days for returns

And, if you get your jammies and, well, they don't fit after all, you're covered by a fairly standard 30-day return policy. You're on the hook for the return shipping fees, but as long as they're in new, unworn/unwashed condition, Big Feet PJs will give you a refund.

Shop here if onesies are your thing

Big Feet Pajamas is a solid place to shop for onesie pajamas in pretty standard patterns: nothing that will make you look like a furry (unfortunately? fortunately?), but certainly some plaids, camouflage, and patterns that everyone in your family or friend group could rock for a fun photo or cozy fireside party. It's a little too narrow of a niche to earn a higher rating from us, but overall Big Feet PJs is an okay option among pajama stores if you're into what they offer.

The Pajama Company

• Pajamas for the whole family across many brands
• Prices typically range from $40 to $290
• Shipping fees of $11.50+
• 30-day return/exchange policy
• "A+” rated by the BBB

The Pajama Company would love to be your one-stop shop for PJs for the entire family. Rather than being its own brand of sleepwear, this pajama store carries multiple brands from various manufacturers (including at least two brands you'll find reviewed separately on our list). Whether you want to sleep in some cool cottons or warm flannels, you'll get all of that and then some as you browse The Pajama Company's website.

A few upgrades since last time

Speaking of the website, it's gotten some upgrades since our previous evaluation. Gone is the outdated look and the endless scrolling: it's pretty easy to browse now, and we're grateful. However, we did notice some remaining glitches. For example, you'll see that listings tend to say "Only ‘x number' left” to show what's in stock and what might not be, if you wait too long to add those jammie pants to your cart and hit "buy now”.

But still some confusion

When we went to see if that was a legit inventory assessment, however, we wound up more confused. One set of linen sleeping pants said, "Only 1 left”, but as we went through the sizes in the dropdown, at least 3 out of 5 were available to add to our cart. (And that's another area where this pajama store could still use some work: you won't know what sizes are available generally or in stock currently without rolling through each dropdown menu).

Hundreds of PJ styles

But, navigation issues aside, The Pajama Company is a fun place to get some new PJs. In the two categories we used across retailers as a comparison (women's and matching sets), there are hundreds and hundreds of styles and price points, typically between $40 to $290.

What do you have in mind?

It's easiest to find what you're looking for if you start with a basic idea, like "linen”, "short sleeve capri sets” or "hooded footies”. You can also shop by brand, like The Lazy Poet or Sant + Abel, if you're loyal to a certain manufacturer. We wish that shoppers could also see which pajamas are bestsellers here, or at least look through customer ratings on individual sleepwear items, but The Pajama Company doesn't offer that. You'd almost have to go to the brand website to get that kind of input (and at that point you might as well buy your PJs there).

30-day returns, no free shipping

You'll have the industry-standard 30-day period to return your pajamas for a refund or exchange here. And, unlike many of The Pajama Company's competitors, this store doesn't offer any kind of threshold for free shipping: your delivery costs will start at $11.50, and that won't be refunded with your return, either.

Where's the feedback?

Reputation-wise, The Pajama Company has an "A+” rating from the Better Business Bureau, with no complaints filed there in the three years leading up to this review. But, that's about the extent of the buzz (or lack thereof) about this pajama store. We're 100% sure they're still in business; social media posts were as current as a day or two prior to this review, after all. But to not see any reviews, even heavily curated ones on their own website, is strange to us. The Pajama Company would do better in our evaluation if they could show that people are actually shopping on their website.

Just average

We've kept The Pajama Company at a "just average” score. We're happy to see some site improvements, but they're not quite enough to move the needle. Could you get fantastic jammies here? Sure. Would you be better off going directly through the brand's online storefront? The answer is "probably”, if for no other reason than having shopper reviews and a better inventory to choose from.

Lake Pajamas

• Pajamas for men, women, kids, babies
• Prices typically range from $56 to $156
• Limited 30-day return policy
• Free shipping on orders of $50+

Lake Pajamas got its start in Savannah, Georgia, back in 2014. Their collection originated with a classic striped style in 100% Peruvian Pima Cotton and has expanded to include premium fabrics in pajama styles for men, women, and children. You can shop Lake Pajamas at their stores in Atlanta and Charleston, or, of course, take advantage of their broadest selection at their online storefront.

Pajamas for the whole family

You'll find a broad selection of pajamas here, with options for everyone from babies to bros. To compare apples-to-apples across PJ stores, we took a look at the women's collection and family sets. There were about 60 options for women, ranging from short sets to nighties and everything in between, including maternity styles. Just be aware that as Lake Pajamas has branched out into more than just sleepwear, you'll see dresses and sweaters in there too. Try using the filters if you've got a preference for color, fabric, length, or size (from XXS to XXL).

Expect to pay at least $50

On the low end of the price spectrum, we spotted a plain white sleep tee for $56 and pajama boxers for $68. The first "complete” pajama items we found were tank-style nightgowns in Pointelle or Pima for $78; on the high end of the price range, Lake Pajamas offered a 3-piece sleep set (top, shorts, pants) for about $150. You could save 10% on your first order. Look for the offer as you browse the Lake Pajamas website and click on "redeem offer” to enter your email address and then either apply it to your current shopping cart or save it for a later purchase.

Sizes and colors are often out of stock

As you browse, it's easy to see which options come in multiple colors. But, inventory can be pretty limited when you click on something you like: for example, that Pima tank nightie we mentioned was only available in Parisian Green (with Hydrangea showing as out of stock), and all sizes except XXS were sold out. That seemed to hold true even in some of the kids' pajamas we peeked at: larger sizes weren't available in any of the colors for the Kids Long-Long Set, for instance.

No pajamas grouped into sets

Lake Pajamas really doesn't specialize in PJ sets for the whole family, either. You could mix-and-match (which is made a little easier within some of the themes that might be featured, like Summer Vibes or Valentine's Day), but you'll have to spend some time clicking through the site and hoping what catches your eye is in stock for all of the members of your family.

Sale-price pajamas don't qualify for refunds

Lake doesn't have the most generous return policy we've ever seen. You'll get the industry-standard 30-day window, but anything that was bought on sale will automatically be "store credit only”, not eligible for a refund. You'll pay $7 in return shipping fees on refund returns, and $5 if it's for an exchange. And, like most pajama stores, Lake insists that returns be unworn and unwashed to qualify for an exchange or a refund.

Not much love from customers

In terms of reputation, Lake Pajamas surprised us by having an "F” rating from the Better Business Bureau. The retailer failed to respond to three complaints, out of a total of 16 filed over the last three years (and 13 of those came within the most recent 12-month period). That got us wondering what shoppers were saying in other places, and unfortunately, the consensus is not good. From Yelp to Trustpilot and everywhere else we looked, we found complaint after complaint about pajamas that shrank to the point of being unwearable (despite following washing instructions to a "T”), unexplained discoloration of the fabric, and nothing even remotely resembling a helpful response from Lake Pajamas' customer representatives (who, incidentally, are only available during business hours Monday through Thursday, and from 9A-1P on Fridays).

We don't recommend this pajama store

So, let's recap: Lake Pajamas' variety? Decent. Pricing? Spendy, but on par with many higher-end pajama stores. Availability? Meh. Quality? Not great. Customer service? Definitely not good. You can find better options with Lake Pajamas' rivals on our list, and unfortunately we can't give this pajama store a higher rating.

Pajama City

• Pajamas for all ages
• Big emphasis on sexy sleepwear
• Prices usually from $20 to $65
• Free shipping on orders over $50
• 30-day return policy

You might want to consider Pajama City a NSFW option among pajama stores. Sure, they have options for everyone in the family, but when you visit the main page and the first three featured sleepwear selections all have "sex” or "sexy” in the title... yeah, see what we mean?

Not easy to find what you want

Shopping the PJ City site feels a little random: you'll have to know what kind of pajamas you want, rather than shopping by men's or women's styles. If you're looking for a family set like we've compared across pajama stores, that's easy enough: just go to the Matching section and then pick whether you're looking for family pajamas, family Christmas PJs, or doing the couple matchy-matchy thing. Unfortunately, in all of the Matching categories, all we found were red and green Christmas jammies. And, when we went to the Couples section, Pajama City only had a Christmas style, and even that was only offered in a women's medium and women's large (so you'd better hope that your man is on the smaller side if you want him in this pattern).

Footie pajamas are cute

Footed pajamas seem to have the largest inventory at PJ City, and even then there were only about 20 styles to choose from for adults. The styles were cute, ranging from traditional plaids and camo to duckie print and even red-white-and-blue. Just pay attention to the sizes: instead of clicking on one style and seeing all of the sizes offered by Pajama City, they're shown as separate items according to size. It can be a little confusing.

Low prices and free shipping on most orders

Most pajamas here are priced between $20 and $65, and Pajama City will ship your order for free if it's over $50.

Something's not quite right here

There's something about Pajama City that has kind of a sketchy vibe. Maybe it's the fact that the only way to contact the store is through an email address? Good luck using that to track down a missing order or request a refund. The lack of any external feedback over the last few years, including no listing whatsoever from the Better Business Bureau? Or the reviews from several years ago that called Pajama City a scam?

Mentions products and tools they don't even have

It's all of that, and then some. We went to look at the refund policy - okay, pretty standard 30 days, has to be unused - and started scratching our heads when it started going into how perishable goods like flowers and newspapers can't be returned. That kept up when it encouraged us to reach out via live chat if we hadn't gotten a refund we were expecting... but there's no chat feature anywhere on the Pajama City website.

Who knew that lingerie and dinosaurs could go together? (They don't.)

Want the best laugh? See if this works for you: go to the Christmas Lingerie for Women Sex Red Santa Lace Babydoll Red or Green (long name, we know, but that's how it was on the main page). Scroll down past the first place where you can indicate the size, and look for the second place where it says size with a dropdown box. Do you notice that it includes "unicorn” and "triceratops” as a size? Sure enough, changing the "size” took us to a totally different product listing (but, full disclosure, we were really hoping to see that babydoll dress ON a triceratops. Or maybe with a nice dinosaur print instead of red or green).

Don't waste your time on this pajama store

Pajama City is good for a chuckle but we don't recommend that you buy your sleepwear there. You'll have no guarantee of being able to reach anyone in customer service if you have a problem, and that's assuming you can even find any style of pajamas that you'd actually wear (or in stock in your size). PJ City? It's a "no” from us.
