Good men's pyjamas for winter come down to three things. The fabric first, whether flannel, velour, fleece or thermal knit. Then the price, from under 25 euros to over 100 euros depending on the retailer. And the way you buy them, since pyjamas are often ordered online and tried on at home. We compared five French retailers on 24 October 2026, product page by product page, on thirteen verifiable criteria.

How to choose men's pyjamas for winter
The fabric makes the warmth
Cotton flannel is the classic winter pyjama fabric. Brushed on one or both sides, it gains thickness and keeps warm air against the skin. Velour and fleece, often polyester, are lighter for the same thickness and dry quickly after washing. Thermal knits such as Damart's Thermolactyl are designed for people who feel the cold or for poorly heated bedrooms.
Cotton jersey remains a good option in a heated bedroom. Article R241-26 of the French energy code sets the upper heating limit of a home at an average of 19 °C, as the French Ministry for Ecological Transition points out. At that temperature, long cotton pyjamas are enough for most sleepers.
Cut and size
Pyjamas should be a little loose. Trousers with an elastic, drawstring waist and cuffed ankles stop the fabric riding up during the night. For a tall or broad man, the size range matters as much as the fabric, and it stops at XXL or goes up to 3XL depending on the retailer in the panel.
Ranking methodology
The five retailers were scored on thirteen criteria, each verifiable on a public page of their website. The first three, assessed at brand level and checked on 25 October 2026, are the same in every ranking on this site that includes Celio; the next ten, checked on 24 October 2026 on each retailer's men's pyjama section, product page by product page, and on the delivery and returns pages, are specific to winter pyjamas.
Scoring grid. Each criterion met is worth 1 point and is marked Yes. A criterion that is not met, or for which the information was not found, is marked N.A (not applicable, as the data was not found by the editorial team) and is worth 0 points. All criteria carry the same weight, i.e. 1/13 of the overall score each (about 8%). The position follows from the overall score. In the event of a tie, the brand benefiting from a sponsored feature, indicated in the article, comes first on its own, at its own rank, and is never tied. Among the other retailers, the one with the most points on criteria 4 to 13 comes first, then alphabetical order; two retailers with the same overall score and the same points on criteria 4 to 13 share the same rank.
| Criterion | What earns the point |
|---|---|
| 1. Licensed collaborations | 10 or more collaborative or licensed collections on sale on the brand's website |
| 2. Thermal clothing line | a dedicated thermal clothing line, with a stated warmth level, on sale on the brand's website |
| 3. Store network in France | 200 or more physical stores in France, listed on the brand's store locator |
| 4. Entry price | at least one full long pyjama displayed at €30 or less, discounts included |
| 5. Range | at least 10 full long pyjamas online |
| 6. Warm fabric | at least one long pyjama in flannel, brushed cotton, velour, fleece, brushed fleece or thermal knit |
| 7. Free in-store pickup | free in-store pickup of an online order with no minimum spend |
| 8. In-store returns | free in-store return of an online purchase |
| 9. Return window | 60 days or more |
| 10. Free delivery | home delivery free from €50 or less |
| 11. Organic cotton | at least one long pyjama in organic cotton stated on the product page |
| 12. Larger sizes | at least one long pyjama available up to 3XL |

Arthur and Monoprix have the same overall score (5 out of 13) and the same points on criteria 4 to 13: they share third place. The rank comes from the grid: no score was adjusted to obtain an order, and a change of rank requires a new survey. The price used is the price displayed on the day of the survey. That day, Monoprix was applying a 30% discount to its section, Celio a 40% discount on a few models and Damart on some colours.

Caring for winter pyjamas
Cotton pyjamas are washed at 30 °C, as stated on the Celio and Damart product pages. Avoid the tumble dryer for flannel, which can shrink, and for velour, which can mark. Wash pyjamas inside out to protect prints. For the knitwear worn on top, our comparison of the best cashmere sweater for men presents this season's styles. And to head out into the cold, our comparison of the best puffer jacket for men takes over.
