Whether you’re heading off for a romantic weekend break, a family camping trip, or a long-awaited summer holiday, there’s one travel essential that’s often overlooked — a comfortable, breathable pyjama set. This summer, Lillie and I have been living in our British Boxers summer pyjamas, and we can honestly say, they’ve transformed the way we sleep.
As a busy mum of three, I know how important a good night’s sleep is, especially when you’re on the move. Your choice of nightwear can make or break your holiday rest. That’s why I’m sharing our “Sleep Well, Travel Well” summer shorts set pyjama story — plus practical travel sleep tips and a free downloadable Travel Sleep Checklist to make packing even easier.
Why We Love British Boxers Ladies Summer Pyjamas
We chose a selection of pyjama shorts, cotton pyjama sets, and lightweight robes from British Boxers, including the Schoolhouse Blue Gingham and Pearl Blue Herringbone summer PJs collections — all crafted from natural fabrics that feel beautifully soft.
- Lillie opted for petite pyjama shorts in pearl blue herringbone — perfect for hot summer nights.
- I went for a large dressing gown and comfy cotton sleep shorts that pack neatly into our weekend bag without creasing when rolled.
Each PJ set feels light and breezy, yet stylish enough for lounging around the hotel room or sipping coffee on the balcony. The wide leg cut and soft drawstring waist make these some of the most comfy nightwear options we’ve ever worn.
How to Sleep Well While Travelling
Getting quality sleep away from home can be tricky, especially with noisy neighbours, temperature changes, or jet lag. Here are a few NHS-backed tips we use to stay rested:
- Stick to your usual bedtime routine, even on holiday
- Pack familiar comfort items like an eye mask, earplugs or your favourite sleep t-shirt
- Choose lightweight, breathable pyjamas for women like British Boxers’ cotton printed sets (top tip – grab yourself a bargain in their summer sale!)
- Avoid caffeine and large meals close to bedtime
- Keep your bedroom cool and well-ventilated (source: NHS Sleep Tips)

Your Summer Holiday Packing Essential: PJ Sets That Travel Light
One of the things we love most about British Boxers is how easy their pyjamas are to pack. Their cotton pyjama sets are the perfect sleepwear for travel since they fold down to nothing, weigh next to nothing, and still look fresh and neat when unpacked.
Whether you go for a short pyjama set, a pyjama cami and shorts, or a relaxed satin pyjama, every item in the range of women’s pyjamas is designed with travel in mind. They’re also ideal for mix and match packing — perfect for capsule wardrobes or sharing space in a family suitcase.
From short sleeve pyjama sets to wide leg pyjama bottoms, these summer staples help you feel like your best self, even when you’re far from home.
Our Favourite Styles for Summer Sleepwear
Here’s a roundup of what we wore and loved:
- Women’s Crisp Cotton Sleep Shorts (Schoolhouse Blue Gingham) – classic, cool and effortless
- Women’s Brushed Cotton Sleep Shorts (Montrose and Edinburgh Check) – great for chillier evenings
- Women’s Mid-Length Robes – ideal for layering on cooler mornings or padding to the pool
We also adore their cami pyjama tops, striped pyjama styles, and soft modal pieces that look just as good as loungewear as they do sleepwear. Whether you prefer a shell print pyjama, floral print, or a simple sleeveless set, there’s a style to suit every traveller.
