Enough to put you to sleep: the very best of over 80 years of Swiss sleepwear expertise

These days, there are so many tips on online platforms, social media channels and lifestyle blogs telling you how to become even more efficient, balanced, healthier and happier. However, the simplest and most effective method of achieving all of those things has been instilled in us practically from day one: our sleep. Read on to find out why CALIDA sleepwear has always had the most important function of all.

2 men and 2 women stand next to each other wearing CALIDA nightwear. They have their eyes closed.

Before we get going, if you’re already in bed, then it’s not an ideal time to read this article. A book is much better for falling asleep than a screen. Cool room temperatures help you sleep better than warm ones. The same goes for a regular sleep-wake cycle and making sure your bedroom feels as relaxed as possible. And, of course, avoiding caffeine or alcohol before bed.

You’ve probably read, heard or thought about all of this at some point before. And that’s why we’re not going to bore you with general sleep knowledge that you can get practically anywhere. Instead, we’re going to delve into exceptional sleep expertise, as we’re the only ones to offer you this – with the largest variety of highly functional sleepwear materials, the longest experience with sleep-enhancing cuts and finishes, and what is probably the most legendary promise of quality in terms of comfort and durability.

Always a cut above the rest: the pioneers of pyjama love.

First things first, did you know that we invented cuffed pyjamas in 1957 and, since then, sleeves, pant legs and tops that ride up have been a thing of the past? Or that we created a completely new product category in 1970 with our one-piece combi pyjamas, now known around the world as loungewear? How about that we were the first sleepwear brand to introduce the particularly skin-friendly and environmentally friendly standards OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN in 2016 and Cradle to Cradle Certified® back in 2018? And that we never rest on our laurels because we sleep wonderfully in our beloved pyjamas and wake up feeling restored and refreshed every morning?

In fact, since 1941, we have never tired of continuously improving the sleep quality of women, men and children, stomach, side and back sleepers, those who get cold easily, sweat easily and all other types of sleepers.

Specialising in sleepwear that works specifically for you.

More than ever before, restful sleep also depends on individual factors – which we have been addressing in a particularly targeted manner with groundbreaking material innovations for around 20 years. With the launch of natural fibres like MicroModal®, TENCEL™ and SeaCell™, and technologies like ADAPTIVE by HeiQ and QUICK DRY SILVERPLUS®, we understood the needs of our customers before anyone else – and were the first to make sleepwear that was functional, improved sleep and, therefore, helped the body to function better.

First port of call for functional fibres and exclusive blends.

In Switzerland, it has been known for generations that if you’re looking for the perfect fit and function for the best sleep in the world, CALIDA is the place to go. And once you’ve felt our quality on your skin – and with every piece of clothing for many years – you’ll never try anything else again. Developments of exclusive material blends, such as those in 2019 made from sustainably sourced Merino and cashmere, leave nothing to be desired. Premium-quality fabrics, such as cotton in swiss+cotton and SUPIMA quality as well as 100% GOTS-certified cotton for children’s pyjamas, make a noticeable difference. Every night. For every type of sleeper. For your best night’s sleep ever.

By the way: our latest innovation is called CALIDA DEEPSLEEPWEAR. We’ve combined the best of over 80 years of Swiss sleepwear expertise for consistently restful nights of undisturbed deep sleep under all climatic conditions.
