Most Comfortable Women’s Lounge Sleep Shorts for Relaxing at Home

These 90 Degree By Reflex Activewear Lounge Shorts are a best seller on Amazon because they are such a fantastic versatile style. For a lot of women, these are the most comfortable lounge shorts you can buy. They are mainly designed for working out, but women love them so much that they wear them for sleeping and lounging around the house as well.

The key to this style’s popularity is the super-soft yet breathable fabric that is cozy, ultra snug, and stretchy. They have a simple pull-on design with a drawstring closure that works well for keeping everything in place.  These are intended to be more fitted, but the stretch in the fabric means they aren’t restrictive, so they are neither too tight nor too loose on most women, making them flattering while still being pleasant to wear.

These shorts have a finished look to them, and the fabric is thick enough to wear out in public if so desired. The inseam length is 5 inches, so it is a little longer than some lounge option, and the cuff is tacked down.

Hanes Women’s Jersey Short is excellent for relaxation if you want more coverage on the leg but don’t want to go quite as long as the Baleaf option listed above. The inseam length is 7″ (while the Baleaf style is around 10-11″ depending on sizing). The fabric is a soft stretch 100% cotton jersey that, by most accounts, is very comfy and soft. They are also known to be flattering on most shapes and are nice enough to wear in public or can be worn for warm weather PJ bottoms.

Gap’s Truesleep Print Modal Shorts are one of the most comfortable sleep shorts for women going. They are made from a super light and soft fabric that feels barely there, making them an excellent choice for sleeping or lounging in hot weather since they are soft, thin, and delicate feeling. Despite the slight feel of the modal fabric, they hold up well to washing and are surprisingly sturdy. Sometimes modal fabric doesn’t last that long, or you can run into trouble with it developing holes in the wash.

Gap makes these shorts year-round (they even come in Christmas fabrics that you can get in December), but they really are a warm-weather style. These are not something that you will be able to slip out to the store in, they have a very PJ-like look partly due to the faux button-fly, and as mentioned, they are very thin.

Tommy John makes amazingly comfortable underwear, and luckily they also happen to make lounge bottoms that are just as comfy as the underwear. Tommy John’s loungewear is made with a super soft fabric that is 66% acrylic, 29% rayon, and 5% spandex that is lightweight and is another pick with a barely-there feel to it. They have a drawstring tie waist, and a 2.5 ” inseam, so they are pretty short and are mostly intended to be worn at home.

The other great feature of this style is that they have pockets. They work equally well for lounging and sleeping.

BP. Cozy Shorts are similar to the Tommy John style but have a slightly longer inseam length at 3″. Like all lounge styles, they are pull-on and have an elastic waist with a drawstring cord. The material is a blend of 73% rayon, 24% polyester, and 3% spandex. They have side pockets that aren’t super deep but can hold a few smaller items.

Fans of this style love the fabric’s soft feel and the loose fit that is flattering while still being comfy. One thing to note about this design is that the elastic band can get a little twisted when wearing, and it can pinch the midsection a little bit. The design has a definite pajama look to it, so most women probably won’t be wearing them in public.

Loft has some super sleep shorts that are great for lounging. These come in lovely patterns that are cheerful, pretty, and have lovely coloring. They are fairly fitted and pretty short, the inseam is only 3″. The waist is a flexible elastic drawstring design, and the fabric is rayon, with a bit of spandex that is amazingly soft and perfect for lazy days at home.

Baleaf’s Activewear Yoga Lounge Shorts are a super cozy, more extended length option that many women love to wear when relaxing. They are a pull-on style with an elastic waistband and drawstring closure so you can get a good fit that can be as loose or as tight as your comfort level allows. The material is soft and breathable, and this design has deep side pockets that can hold quite a lot, even large cell phones. This is a good choice to wear for working out, but where they really shine is as an around-the-house lounging option.

One of the best features is that it comes in a huge range of different colors, so you aren’t just stuck with black, grey, and navy. The high-quality fabric isn’t quite as thick as sweatpants but not as thin as many lounge styles, so they are perfect when you want something that isn’t too heavy but that you can’t see thru or is too clingy. They may not be the most fashionable style, but if you want a relaxed fit in a longer length option for around the house, the Baleaf’s Activewear style may be a good choice for you.

The SweatyRocks Workout Yoga Shorts is another cute design that is worth looking at if you the feel of soft, mostly cotton fabric. They come in lots of fun colors and patterns, and they are very short and cute in addition to being ridiculously comfy. The inseam is pretty short, and they are a relaxed fit that is good for sleeping or taking it easy.
