Why We Choose Breathable Fabrics for Our Sleepwear
At Lucia, fabric comes first. Sleepwear isn’t just about how it looks, it’s about how it feels on your skin and how well it lets your body breathe at night. That’s why our collections are built around breathable fabrics like rayon and cotton.
Why Breathable Fabrics Matter
The right fabric makes all the difference to your sleep. Breathable fabrics allow air to circulate, help regulate body temperature and prevent overheating. They feel light and soft against the skin, so you stay comfortable through the night. Non-breathable fabrics can trap heat and moisture, making it harder to sleep.
Choosing breathable fabrics means every piece of sleepwear not only looks beautiful but also helps support better sleep.
Rayon vs Bamboo: What’s the Difference?
Rayon and bamboo fabrics are often compared, and with good reason - they’re almost identical once made into fabric. Both are created by turning plant fibres into a soft, woven textile through the same process. The difference lies in the source: bamboo rayon comes from bamboo, while rayon can be made from other plants, including wood pulp from responsibly managed forests.
The end result is the same: a silky-soft, breathable fabric with a beautiful drape. Rayon has the added advantage of holding colour and detail well, allowing Lucia’s prints to remain vibrant and long-lasting. We also work closely with suppliers to ensure our fabrics are sourced and produced responsibly, so they’re as gentle on the planet as they are on the skin.
The Role of Cotton
Alongside rayon, Lucia also offers cotton sleepwear. Cotton is naturally breathable, crisp, and soft - a fabric many women already know and love. It’s especially good for warmer climates and provides a fresh alternative to the silky feel of rayon.
Looking Ahead
From pyjama sets to nighties and kimono robes, every Lucia design begins with the fabric. By choosing breathable fabrics like rayon and cotton, our sleepwear stays true to what matters most: softness, breathability and long-lasting comfort.
And this is only the beginning. We’ll continue exploring new eco-friendly fabric options as we grow, giving women more ways to enjoy sleepwear that feels good, looks beautiful, and is made with care.
