Choosing the right sleep bra, specially when you have larger breasts, is important as we all want to get a comfortable night's sleep. We can help you find a comfortable bra to wear in bed that gives you support during the night. Although pull on sleep bras can be hard to find, we have picked out some features to help you find the best sleep bras.
Features to look for in a Comfortable Bra to sleep in
Pull On Bra Style - A pull on bra does not have a fastening at the back or front which could potentially dig in when you are laid in bed and move about at night.
No Wires – Non wired or wirefree bras with soft cups are very comfortable. If you are worried about support, then look for bras that provide side support.
Seamless Cups – Seamless cups can be more comfortable as they have less stitching. If the bra does have seams check that the seams are flat as this will be more comfortable.
Cotton Fabric – A high cotton content fabric is comfortable especially at night and it’s also perfect for sensitive skin.
Moisture Wicking Fabric – A bra that is made from a moisture wicking fabric can help keep you cool at night.
Non Adjustable Straps – Straps are more comfortable for night time wear as the non adjustable straps don't have a fastening that could potentially dig into your shoulder as you are laid on your side.
Key features to look for in a sleep bra include a pull-on bra style, as there are no fastenings at the back or front which could dig in when you are laid in bed. Non-adjustable straps are more comfortable for night wear as the straps don’t have a fastening which could dig into your shoulder when laid on your side. Wire free sleep bras with soft or seamless cups are the most comfortable for sleeping in. Look out for cotton fabric, as it's comfortable and perfect for sensitive skin, while a moisture wicking synthetic breathable fabric will let air in and sweat out to keep you cool at night.

Benefits Of Wearing A Sleep Bra
Wearing a bra in bed is a personal choice but there are number of benefits to wearing a sleep bra.
Comfort and Support - Wearing a bra in bed can provide extra comfort particularly if you have larger breasts, as they can feel supported by a comfortable bra. A bra will support the breasts so that the bust is positioned correctly during sleep and the skin tissue isn't strained. In pregnancy your breasts can be sensitive so a sleep bra can help to provide comfort and support.
Relieve Back Pain - A supportive bra worn in bed can help relieve upper back pain as the back is supported and the breasts weight is hold in the cups.
Improved Sleep - If your breasts are supported and comfortable at night, this can lead to a restful night's sleep.
Protect Sensitive Breasts - If your breasts and nipples feel sensitive against your nightwear, then wearing a soft fabric bra could protect them from irritation. Again during pregnancy breast become sensitive, so wearing a soft cup sleep bra whilst pregnant is an option. Wearing a bra while sleeping can provide extra comfort, particularly for larger breasted ladies, providing support during the night, limiting breast movement and making sure they are positioned correctly during sleep, so the skin tissue isn't strained. Wearing a soft bra to bed can be particularly helpful for limiting breast movement in women who have painful breasts following breast surgery.
Difference Between A Sleep Bra & A Regular Bra
Usually, a sleep bra is a pull on or front fastening bra without back fastenings, so the hook fastenings don't dig into the back. It's a combination of features that make a comfortable soft cup bra good as a sleep bra. Soft seamless cups, stretchy, breathable fabric often with a cotton content, non-adjustable straps and a comfortable under band all make a bra the most comfortable for sleeping in.
Best Sleep Bra Recommendations
We would recommend a sleep bra which features a high cotton content and includes moisture-wicking synthetic fibres such as polyamide, nylon and elastane. Moisture-wicking fabric lets air in and sweat out to keep you cool at night. We have some pull on bras which we would recommend as sleep bras. They are very comfortable especially at night time and offer light support, particularly for the fuller bust. As well as pull on bras we also have some front fastening bras that we often recommend as a sleep bra.
