Cotton and viscose. Two fabrics, two different ways of feeling comfortable. Both have their loyalists, and honestly, both deserve the love they get.
The question isn't which one is better—it's which one is right for you. For your climate. Your skin. The way you like your evenings to feel.
Getting to Know These Fabrics
Cotton: The Familiar Comfort
Cotton is like that friend who's always reliable. It's been part of Indian households for generations—our grandmothers knew its worth, and so do we. Natural, breathable, honest. It absorbs the heat and humidity that make Indian nights challenging, and it gets softer with every wash, like it's learning to love you back.
Viscose: The Silky Indulgence
Viscose is what happens when you want to feel a little fancy without the silk price tag. Made from natural wood pulp, it has that beautiful drape and smooth touch that makes you slow down. It catches the light gently, moves with you gracefully, and feels like a small luxury against your skin.
How They Compare
Breathability
Cotton wins here, especially for Indian weather. Air moves through it freely, keeping you cool when the nights are warm. If you live somewhere humid, cotton will be your best friend.
Viscose breathes reasonably well, but it's at its best in AC rooms or cooler weather. It feels cool to the touch, which is a different kind of comfort.
The Way They Feel
Cotton feels familiar, substantial, cozy. Like a warm hug from someone you trust.
Viscose feels silky, smooth, elegant. Like treating yourself to something beautiful on a quiet evening.
Durability
Cotton lasts. A good cotton nighty will be with you for years, getting better with time.
Viscose is more delicate. It needs gentler care, but it repays that care with lasting beauty.
Care Needs
Cotton is forgiving. Machine wash, hang dry, and you're done.
Viscose asks for a little more attention. Cold water, gentle cycle, careful drying. But for some women, that ritual is part of the pleasure.
When Cotton is Your Answer
- You live in a warm, humid climate
- You want nightwear that requires minimal thought
- Your skin is sensitive and needs natural gentleness
- You value durability and long-term comfort
- You're a new mom who needs easy-care everything
When Viscose is Calling You
- You love that silky, luxurious feel
- You sleep in air-conditioned rooms
- You want your nightwear to feel like a treat
- You don't mind a little extra care for something beautiful
- You appreciate elegant drape and flow
Or Maybe... Both?
Here's a thought: you don't have to choose just one.
Keep cotton for the everyday—the regular nights when you just want to slip into something comfortable and let go. And keep a viscose piece for those evenings when you want to feel a little special. When Sunday morning deserves something silky. When you're treating yourself to softness.
Life has room for both kinds of comfort.
