I live in a 400 sq ft studio and my dresser is basically a shelf. I spent way too long finding pajama sets that fold down flat and don't eat up drawer space. These are the winners.

Lightweight Cotton Sets

Cotton pajamas fold the flattest in my experience. These barely take up any room and they breathe really well in summer.

folds down to the size of a paperback. I keep two in one drawer slot.

Jersey Knit Favorites 🌙

Jersey knit is my go-to because it doesn't wrinkle when you fold it tight. Pull it out of the drawer and it looks fine.

the jogger pants fold way better than wide leg ones. trust me on this.

Modal and Satin Blends

If you want something that feels a little more put together but still folds small. I wear these when people are coming over lol.

modal is SO thin when folded. I can fit like four sets where two used to go.

I travel for work a lot and packing pajamas used to annoy me. Now I just grab one of these and stuff it in a packing cube.
