Bamboo Bubby PJ Set for Teens and Adults - Eczema Pyjamas with Footed Pants

Most nightwear options for adults with eczema fall into two categories: clinical products that feel medical and uncomfortable, or regular pyjamas in cotton or synthetic blends that irritate reactive skin further.
The Bamboo Bubby PJ Set sits in a different category entirely. The 70% bamboo viscose blend is naturally thermoregulating — it responds to your body temperature rather than trapping heat, which helps you stay comfortable through the night.

The footed pants cover feet and ankles in the same bamboo fabric rather than a separate sock layer, so there's no heat build-up at the feet and no exposed skin below the waist for hands to reach during sleep.
It's the same fabric trusted for babies and children with eczema since 2010 — just sized and cut for the people who have been managing this condition their whole lives.

I've had eczema my whole life and still wake up scratching. What can I wear to bed?

Wear something that covers the skin you scratch. The Bamboo Bubby PJ Set for Teens and Adults has a long sleeve top with fold-over mitten cuffs and pants with fully enclosed feet. Your hands sit inside soft bamboo, and your arms, legs and feet stay covered. Keep nails short. If your skin is weeping, bleeding or getting worse, see your GP.

My teenage son scratches his legs and arms in his sleep. What helps?

Most teens scratch in their sleep without knowing it. The Bamboo Bubby PJ Set for Teens and Adults keeps his hands in folded mitten cuffs and his legs and feet inside the footed pants, so his nails can't reach bare skin. With the cuffs folded back, it looks like ordinary pyjamas, which helps a self-conscious teen wear it.

My bedtime creams end up on the sheets. Is there a better way?

Put your creams on, then dress. The top and footed pants sit over the cream all night and help keep it on your skin instead of the bedding. It also means less cream on your sheets and pillowcases. Ask your GP or dermatologist which creams to use and how often.

I get hot in bed and then the itching starts. Will a full pyjama set make it worse?

Heat often makes itch worse, so dress for the room. The bamboo blend is light and breathable, and the feet are the same fabric as the legs, not a thick sock. Use lighter bedding on warm nights. If you run hot, try the top with the cuffs closed and lighter covers first.

What sizes does the PJ Set for Teens and Adults come in?

XS, S, M, L and XL. The top's size chart lists XS 94 cm chest and 70 cm sleeve, S 102 and 71, M 108 and 72, L 116 and 73, XL 122 and 73. The pants list waist at XS 82 cm, S 88, M 94, L 100 and XL 106, and hips at XS 98, S 102, M 110, L 116 and XL 122, with inside leg up to 88 cm in every size. If you sit between sizes, size up.

What fabric is the PJ set made from?

Both pieces of the Bamboo Bubby PJ Set for Teens and Adults are 70% bamboo viscose, 25% organic cotton and 5% elastane. It's the same super-soft blend Bamboo Bubby uses for the Eczema Mitten Sleeves. The bamboo feels smooth on sensitive skin, and the elastane lets the fabric stretch and move with you.

Does the top have mitten cuffs?

Yes. Each sleeve ends in a fold-over mitten cuff. Fold it over your hand for sleep, and fold it back for reading, eating or your phone. It's the same idea as the Bamboo Bubby Eczema Mitten Sleeves, sized for grown-up hands. When closed, the mitten is the soft bamboo blend, not silk.

Can I wear the set as loungewear?

Yes. The Bamboo Bubby PJ Set for Teens and Adults has a relaxed fit, so it works around the house as well as in bed. With the cuffs folded back, the top looks like a regular long sleeve top. Fold the mittens over whenever the itch starts, on the couch or in front of a screen.

Can I wear the PJ set over wet or dry wraps?

Ask your GP or dermatologist first. Wrapping is a medical treatment, and they will tell you what layers to use. Over creams on their own, the top and footed pants sit well and help keep the cream on your skin. Put creams on first, let them settle, then dress.

How do I put the PJ set on?

The top pulls on over your head, with no buttons pressing on sore skin. The pants have a drawstring waist and fully enclosed feet. Step in feet first, pull them up and tie the drawstring to suit. Fold the mitten cuffs over your hands once you're settled in bed.

Can I wear the top or pants on their own?

Yes. Wear the top alone on nights when only your arms and hands flare, or the footed pants with your own t-shirt. Both pieces are also sold separately as the Bamboo Bubby Scratch Sleeve Top for Older Kids, Teens and Adults and the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Footed Pants for Teens and Adults.

Are the footed pants slippery on hard floors?

They can be. The feet are plain bamboo with no non-slip soles, so they slide on timber and tiles like socks do. Take care on stairs and wet bathroom floors. Slip on slippers when you get up, or keep the footed pants for bed and lounging.

What is the PJ set made of, and is there anything synthetic?

The Bamboo Bubby PJ Set for Teens and Adults is 70% bamboo viscose, 25% organic cotton and 5% elastane. Elastane is the one synthetic fibre in the blend, and it gives the fabric its stretch. There's no polyester or fleece. It comes in one colour, Midnight Blue.

Is the fabric soft enough for sore, sensitive skin?

The bamboo blend is smooth and soft, with no fleece or scratchy texture. Bamboo Bubby has made bamboo clothing for eczema-prone skin for 16+ years, starting with babies. Wash the set once before you first wear it. If your skin is cracked or infected, follow your doctor's advice on what to wear over it.

Should I buy the set or the top and pants separately?

The Bamboo Bubby PJ Set for Teens and Adults is the Scratch Sleeve Top for Older Kids, Teens and Adults plus the Footed Pants for Teens and Adults, in the same size. Buy them separately if you need a different size top and pants. The set suits anyone who wears one size head to toe.

Is bamboo better than silk or cotton pyjamas for eczema?

Each has its fans. Silk is smooth but costs more and needs careful washing. Cotton is common but often feels rougher on inflamed skin. Bamboo viscose is soft, breathable and machine washable. This set also adds mitten cuffs and footed pants, which regular silk or cotton pyjamas don't have.

How is this different from the Kids Pyjama Set?

The Bamboo Bubby Kids Bamboo Pyjama Set fits 1 to 12 years and has an elasticised waist. The Bamboo Bubby PJ Set for Teens and Adults is cut for teens and adults in XS to XL, with a drawstring waist. Both have fold-over mitten cuffs, footed pants and the same bamboo blend. Older kids who have outgrown 11-12yr move to this set.

Which size PJ set should I buy?

Measure your chest, waist and hips, then check the chart. Top chest runs from 94 cm (XS) to 122 cm (XL). Pants waist runs from 82 cm to 106 cm, and hips from 98 cm to 122 cm. Inside leg is up to 88 cm in every size. Between sizes, size up for a softer, roomier fit over sore skin.

How many PJ sets do I need?

Two is easiest: one on and one in the wash. Bedtime creams mean pyjamas need washing often. One Bamboo Bubby PJ Set for Teens and Adults already takes your order over $99, so shipping within Australia is free. Returns are accepted within 30 days.

How do I care for the PJ set?

Machine wash warm on a gentle cycle. Line dry or tumble dry low, and cool iron if needed. No bleach and no fabric softener, because softener coats bamboo fibres and dulls their softness. If the fabric feels stiff, a short tumble on low with no heat softens it again.
