Why Clean Sleepwear Matters: What You Wear to Bed Could Be Affecting Your Health

Let’s get real. You wouldn’t put mystery chemicals on your face, so why sleep in them?

Every night, your skin is in direct contact with your sleepwear for hours, absorbing not just comfort, but potentially a cocktail of hidden toxins. It’s not something we often think about, but the truth is: what you wear to bed matters.

Here’s what’s hiding in a lot of mainstream sleepwear:

Azo dyes: synthetic colourants that can release carcinogenic compounds

Formaldehyde: used to prevent wrinkling, but can trigger skin irritation

Forever chemicals (PFAS): found in stain and water-resistant finishes and known to build up in the body over time

Endocrine disruptors: chemicals that can interfere with your hormones

We exclusively use certified materials like:

OEKO-TEX® Standard 100: independently tested to be free from over 100 harmful substances

Lenzing™ TENCEL™: a sustainably sourced fiber made from wood pulp, naturally soft, breathable, and biodegradable

These certifications matter:

NO harmful azo dyes. NO heavy metals. NO formaldehyde finishes. NO endocrine disruptors or hidden toxic coatings.

Instead, our garments are clean, conscious, and crafted to love your body back.

When you choose Homebodii, you’re choosing:

Fabrics that support your skin’s microbiome (especially important while you sleep and your body repairs itself) - Breathable, moisture-wicking materials that feel like a second skin - Luxury without compromise, because softness should never come at a cost to your health

There’s also the planet to think about. Many of these harmful dyes and finishes aren’t just bad for you, they’re also bad for the earth. They pollute waterways, disrupt ecosystems, and leave a toxic footprint that lingers for generations.

By opting for clean-certified sleepwear, you’re not just taking care of yourself, you’re choosing a better future for everyone.

So what should you look for when shopping sleepwear?

Check for OEKO-TEX® or GOTS certifications

Avoid “anti-wrinkle” or “stain-resistant” claims (often signs of chemical treatments)

Choose plant-based fibres like TENCEL™, organic cotton, or bamboo

Trust brands that disclose their sourcing and standards

At the end of the day (literally), sleepwear should be a sanctuary, something you slip into and instantly feel good about.

At Homebodii, we’re proud to lead the way in clean sleepwear that celebrates comfort, femininity, and wellness. No compromises. Just consciously crafted beauty for every body and every bedtime.

Because your skin is smart. Your body is sacred. And you deserve better.
