Lusomé sleepwear review: does it help menopause night sweats?

Name: Lusomé sleepwear review: does it help menopause night sweats?
Creator: MenoWoman

No published trials have tested Lusomé pajamas on women with night sweats, so claims rest on a brand-commissioned fabric lab report. Its wicking fabric may feel drier, but sleepwear fiber research is small and has not been done in menopause.

See a doctor if night sweats soak your bedding, start suddenly, or come with fever, weight loss or swollen glands, as these can have other causes. Also seek help if poor sleep is affecting your mood or daily life.

What it is and what the brand claims

Lusomé is a sleepwear brand founded by a Calgary textile entrepreneur and designed for night sweats. It sells pajamas and other sleepwear made from its own fabric, called Xirotex.^1,4

The brand says the fabric wicks sweat away from the skin to keep you dry and cool through the night. Lusomé has also partnered with Embr Labs, which promotes the pajamas alongside its wrist cooling device.³ This is an evidence review, not a hands-on test.

How the fabric works

According to the brand's founder, Xirotex has two layers. A thin polyester inner layer is treated to pull moisture away from the skin, and an outer cotton layer holds it.⁴

This design aims to fix a trade-off. Cotton absorbs sweat but stays damp against the skin. Plain polyester feels dry but holds little moisture. A wicking inner layer with an absorbent outer layer is meant to move sweat outward, where it can spread and dry.

The brand says the fabric also moves odor-causing bacteria away from the skin.⁴ No independent tests of that claim were found. Fabric finishes can also fade with repeated washing, and the lab report tested new fabric, not garments after months of use.¹

What the research shows

There are no trials of Lusomé sleepwear in people, in menopause or otherwise. Media coverage of the brand cites founder and designer claims, not clinical studies.⁴

The brand's main evidence is a 2022 lab report it commissioned from University of Alberta researchers.¹ It tested how liquid moves through two Lusomé fabrics and five rival sleepwear fabrics, using a standard textile test. Only the Lusomé fabrics reached the top grade for moving moisture away from the skin side.¹

That tells you about the fabric, not about sleep. No people wore the garments, the report was paid for by Lusomé, and it does not say it was peer reviewed.¹

Research on sleepwear fabric and sleep is small. One trial in 36 healthy adults aged 50 to 70 slept them in a warm room in cotton, polyester and merino wool. Wool gave small benefits; cotton and polyester gave none on the measures studied.² A 2024 systematic review found only nine studies on sleepwear and bedding fibers. It said results were hard to compare and called for better studies.⁵ None of these included women with menopause night sweats or wicking fabrics like Xirotex.

Safety and who should think twice

Sleepwear carries little health risk. People with sensitive skin or eczema may react to some fabric finishes, so wash new items before wearing and stop if your skin becomes itchy or red.

The bigger risk is false reassurance. Drenching sweats that need a change of clothes can have causes other than menopause, so do not let good pajamas delay a check-up if your sweats are new or severe.

Who it might suit and alternatives

Lusomé may suit women with mild to moderate night sweats who dislike waking in damp cotton. Looser cuts and removable layers cost little and may feel better, but The Menopause Society does not recommend cooling techniques as a proven hot flash treatment.⁶

Bedding matters too; see cooling sheets for night sweats. If night sweats are frequent, hormone therapy (HRT), non-hormonal prescription medicines and CBT have much stronger evidence. Compare options on our sleep and cooling products page.

If you share a bed, a partner's body heat and heavy bedding can matter as much as what you wear. Keeping the bedroom cool and using lighter covers costs little and is worth trying first.

Price and value

Lusomé pieces are one-off purchases sold by the item, in a range of styles and sizes.⁴ They are priced as premium sleepwear, so check the current price and the return policy before buying.
