From Recovery to Relaxation:

How Women's Bed Jackets Can Help You Rest Easy

Ladies' Bed Jackets

Why Every Woman Needs One in Her Sleepwear Collection...

If you’re looking for an extra layer of warmth and cosiness when in bed or lounging around the house, a bed jacket is what you need. Lightweight and super soft, bed jackets are perfect for adding a lovely layer of insulation any time of the day.

These classic nightwear garments cover the chest, shoulders and arms while sitting up in bed, and are designed to be short in length to allow for ease of movement whilst reclining. This is a useful feature when you need some extra comfort in the evening or if you’re feeling under the weather.

Ladies’ bed jackets come in many different styles, colours, and materials to suit your personal style. The women’s nightwear range from Country Collection offers a wide variety of nighttime garments, with quality bed jackets that feature buttons or a ribbon tie - some of which have added pockets for practicality and convenience. From lightweight cotton mix materials to soft warm fleece, there are options to suit every style and season.

Bed Jackets for Older Ladies

What is a bed jacket?

What are ladies’ bed jackets used for?

A bed jacket is a type of short, lightweight jacket worn in bed or while lounging at home. It typically has a loose, comfortable fit and is made from soft materials such as cotton or fleece. They are designed to be a shorter, lighter alternative to traditional robes and gowns that’s easy-to-wear to provide warmth without feeling bulky or constricting.

Originally, ladies’ bed jackets were designed for nightwear over a nightdress or pyjamas, but they can also be worn over a knitted sweater, or even loungewear outfits for warmth and comfort inside the house. This makes them perfect for women who want to stay warm and comfortable while reading, knitting, watching the television, or relaxing in bed.

Bed jackets can be particularly useful for older ladies who have trouble regulating their body temperature while sleeping or need an extra layer of warmth during the cooler months. They are also popular among women who are recovering from illness or surgery and need additional comfort when spending an extended period in bed.

In addition to their practical uses, ladies' bed jackets can also be stylish and fashionable. They come in a variety of designs, materials and colours that range from classic and traditional styles to ones that are more modern and trendy.

The Slenderella Bed Jacket Kitty here features the same soft fleece and long sleeves as its housecoat counterpart, but with a shorter length, pan collar and patch pocket. They are easy to wear and can be paired with pyjamas bottoms or your favourite pair of elasticated pull-on trousers for a wonderfully relaxed, comfortable look and feel.

You can often find bed jackets in similar styles to our dressing gowns and robes, so if you like the design of one, why not explore our full ladies’ nightwear range to see if there’s another matching garment to fall in love with

Women's Bed Jackets

The history of the bed jacket

The bed jacket is a garment from the 17th century that has stood the test of time. Originally designed as an extra source of warmth, ladies’ bed jackets offered a more comfortable and lightweight alternative to traditional, long and heavy dressing gowns or robes.

Bed jackets really gained popularity in the early 1900s and were often seen in 1930s movies, donned by glamorous actresses in a lavish setting which led to them becoming a staple item of loungewear and sleepwear during this time.

Over the centuries, this practical piece of clothing has evolved into a stylish and elegant garment, perfect for keeping warm and cosy - even in the 21st century.
