Fleece Sleepwear

Fleece sleepwear is very popular for babies, children and even adults. Fleece material makes for the coziest, warmest sleepwear around. It feels very soft against the skin, and lasts well even when it is frequently machine-washed and dried. Because fleece is a synthetic material, it is perfect for keeping body heat in and keeping the cold out. It is very lightweight and breathable, so it won’t cause your baby to get overheated during the night. One important safety consideration is that fleece sleepwear should always be treated with a flame retardant, since it can be quite flammable without this treatment—which can be a very dangerous quality for sleepwear. Never purchase fleece sleepwear that is not specifically flame retardant, and never sleep in fleece material that is not intended as sleepwear.

Fleece sleepwear comes in a wide variety of styles and shapes, which can be found ranging from footed pajamas, to two piece sets, to sleeping bag styles, to fleece blankets. Fleece was originally invented as an alternative to wool, and boasts many advantages over the natural textile, including being far more lightweight, washable, hypoallergenic, and inexpensive.

Fleece sleepwear can be found in any color imaginable, and many different patterns and prints. Fleece sleepwear for girls is often found in pinks, purples, and yellows, or prints such as flowers, butterflies, tie dye, princess, or ballerina designs. For boys, colors tend to be more bright and bold, like royal blue, Kelly green or red, and some examples of the prints that are popular may be dinosaurs, fire engines, vehicles, superheroes, cartoon characters, or cowboys.

One possible drawback to fleece sleepwear is that it tends to generate a high amount of static electricity, so it is prone to collecting plenty of lint, fuzz or pet hair. Inexpensive fleece may also be prone to pilling after several washings. But for keeping cozy and warm during the night, you can't beat fleece sleepwear in comfort!
