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 Gone is the outdated look and the endless scrolling: it's pretty easy to browse now, and we're grateful.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.
Picture this: it's the end of a long day, you've tucked yourself into bed, and what's the icing on the relaxation cake? Pajamas! Ah yes, those cozy, comfy, and sometimes downright quirky clothes that can make bedtime feel like a luxurious affair.
Gone are the days when you have to buy pajamas from a department store. From indie designers crafting one-of-a-kind prints, to specialty shops offering personalized pajamas tailored to your wildest dreams, the online pajama-sphere is bursting with creativity. Whether you're into celestial patterns, quirky animals, or retro vibes, there's a pair of pajamas out there with your name on it.
The history of pajamas is a fascinating journey through time, taking us back to ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and Indians who draped themselves in loose-fitting garments for sleep. Fast forward to the 17th and 18th centuries, pajamas became all the rage in the West, thanks to the influence of exotic Eastern cultures. These early versions were more like loose trousers and jackets, often made from silk or cotton, and were reserved for the elite.
Nowadays, pajamas come in all shapes, sizes, and styles, catering to every taste and preference imaginable. There are classic button-up sets for those who like to keep it timeless, cozy fleece onesies for the perpetual kids-at-heart, and silky slips for those who prefer a touch of elegance even in dreamland. Let's not forget about the novelty pajamas adorned with everything from cartoon characters to punny phrases, perfect for adding a splash of whimsy to your bedtime routine.
One of the best things about pajamas in the modern age is the ease of finding the perfect pair with just a few clicks. Thanks to the wonders of online shopping, you can explore a vast universe of sleepwear options without ever having to leave your cozy cocoon. Want a matching set for a family photo? No problem. Planning a stay-in-your-PJs vacation or a pajama-themed holiday party? The internet has you covered, quite literally.
