Sometimes, it can feel like celebrities are coming out with cash-grabby collaborations and products left and right. However, every once in a while, a celebrity comes out with a brand or creates a product with a company and it feels super authentic to both the brand and the celeb.
So you might imagine my skepticism when I came across Jimmy Fallon’s pajama collaboration with New York based clothing company Alex Mill, aptly named P’Jimmies. The collection not only features men’s and women’s pajama sets, but shoppers can also get their hands on sweatshirts, eye masks, and coffee mugs. Consumers can expect the collection to run you anywhere from $25 to $148 dollars, depending on what you’re shopping for. (1)
However, after looking into the collaboration, I think that I’ve warmed up to Jimmy’s PJ collection a bit. Not only do I think the collection is pretty cute, but the collection also seems like it is pretty authentic. In my opinion, Jimmy does seem to be pretty invested in his sleep, since earlier this year, Jimmy shared that he had started mouth taping to improve his quality of sleep, granted this practice is maligned by doctors.
So…is Jimmy’s PJ collection worth the steeper-than-usual price of pajamas? We’ve broken down everything you need to know.
What Does Jimmy Fallon’s Pajama Collection Feature?
Jimmy Fallon’s P’Jimmies collection features all sorts of PJ options for both men and women. There are long sleeved tops, matching bottoms, shorts, and camisoles. But the collection extends well beyond just pajamas, also featuring sleep masks, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and coffee mugs. The collection focuses on bright, pastel colors, but also features a darker flannel pajama set. (1)
The pajamas in the collection are all made of 100% cotton and come in sizes ranging from XXS to XXL. Additionally, there is a charitable aspect to Jimmy’s collection; according to the product pages, “10% of the net proceeds go to Serious Fun” which is “an organization that gives kids living with serious illnesses the opportunity to experience summer camp.” (1)
Is Jimmy Fallon’s Pajama Collection Worth The Price Tag?
While the price of Jimmy’s PJ’s is similar to other luxury brands, it is definitely a bit pricier than the average set of PJ’s that you’d find at popular big box retailers. By my best guess, the heftier price tag comes from the use of high quality, more expensive materials like cotton.
Now, it’s hard to say one way or the other whether these PJ’s are really “worth it” since I think pajamas are a very personal part of someone’s sleep routine. Personally, I’m not someone who really needs super luxe materials to get a good night’s sleep, so for me, these PJ’s wouldn’t be worth the money.
However, there are plenty of people out there who want or need more luxury materials to get their best night’s sleep, so it’s very possible that for some people, this collection might be well worth the price tag.
Is Cotton The Best Material For Sleep?
Again, the answer is super subjective. These days, pajamas and bedding alike are being made out of a litany of different luxury materials. A popular choice for both PJ’s and bedding these days is bamboo, which is praised for it’s temperature regulation properties. Cotton also is typically billed as a pretty breathable option, and is also quite durable.
However, at the end of the day, the material which works best for you depends on your individual sleep needs. For someone who struggles with temperature regulation during the night, then bamboo might be the way you need to go. However, if you want a super durable and long lasting sheets, then cotton could be a good choice for you.
