Finding comfortable pajamas that are sensory friendly is so important for children to have a restful night's sleep. This is why sensory-friendly pajamas are a great tool for kids who struggle with sensory differences.

Sensory friendly pajamas are made with buttery soft and breathable fabrics such as organic cotton or bamboo because they are hypoallergenic and great for sensitive skin. These fabrics are also free from harmful chemicals and dyes so they're better for children with allergies or skin sensitivities.

Pj's that are sensory friendly are usually seamless or have flat sensory seams, there are no tags or rough seams that can irritate your child's skin.

Seams and clothes tags can cause a lot of discomfort and distress. Sensory friendly pajamas provide a smooth and seamless feel that is gentle on the skin and eliminating irritation.

Sensory friendly pajamas usually have easy to use adaptive features like elastic waistbands, snap buttons or straps that are adjustable. These adaptive clothing features make it easier for children to dress themselves without feeling overwhelmed or frustrated.
