I cannot sleep without socks. So tempting.

What makes these more comfortable than other pajamas? I think the limited range of movement in the feet would make them less comfortable.

Also, the addition of a drop-seat version of the pajamas makes this seem more like a fetish site than anything else ...

It's like a body condom.
Can't you just clean your sheets?

Unsexiest garment ever. I couldn't fancy George Clooney if he was wearing those. Not even the drop-seat version.

i would like Clooney so much more in one of those. Would show his sense of humor.

I can't sleep in socks, so this would bother me waaay too much. Although I remember loving my footed PJs as a kid.

Ugh, I feel mummified just looking at them. I could never sleep in 'em. I can barely tolerate sheets.

Hell BP, sometimes I think you are my long lost brother.

Oh dear god no. Feet must be free to breathe during sleep. I would burst into flame.

Free sleeper here, belly down style. Except when nature takes course. Even then, please, no footies. Just basic pantsy coverage. Although as a youth, I was all about the footies. New subculture! Footies are the new Furries.

Sometimes I try to sleep without socks, and I swear, I can't. My feet get cold. Even in the summer. They feel naked. I can't sleep with naked feet.

Very cute, but yeah, way too hot. And covered feet? Nightmare time!

Hey. This is Maine. Dead dinosaurs are expensive. These PJs look pretty good. And they have cashmere!

But the feet, Miko, the feet! Trapped in the footies, with no way out! I'm all for sleeping warm in the winter, but the feet must breathe.

posted by bmarkey 07 August | 23:29

Okay, Miko, okay!

i like those extra long old fashioned nightshirts, but just to wear.

posted by ethylene 07 August | 23:31

I'm one of those people who wraps my feet up by twirling them in the sheets. Enclosed feet feel good to me, little secure piggies. It's yucky if they get too hot, but in cashmere they would coddled in lush breathable natural fiber!

I had a pair of footie pajamas when I was in college. They came in handy on cold nights. : )

posted by sisterhavana 07 August | 23:42

No thanks. I can't stand to wear anything to bed. These things would drive me nuts. Besides, going to the toilet is going to be a cold experience, because you have to take the whole top part off.

They have a seat-flap version, dg. But it sounds like you're just not into it. :)

Needs more nightcap. And a plate of cookies.

I had a pink fuzzy pair that I got at the thrift store in my early 20s and I loooooved them. They are amazing for hanging out in if, like me and Miko, you get cold in the winter. They're a little too hot to sleep in, but for just wandering around your house in February? Excellent. Also, if someone drops by, they will laugh at you for hours and that adds to your good karma because, you know, laughing is good for people and the sight of anyone in footie pajamas is totally mirth inducing.

Ah, that's sweet MGL.

It does get cold enough here to wear jams and socks, which I do for a couple weeks every year.

My MIL once coveted this hideous fleece turtleneck, longsleeved, fleece full length gown from the Vermont Country Store catalog. I wondered why she wouldn't just wrap herself up in a chastity belt instead. I could see if she still lived in a cold climate, but she has lived in Florida for the past 25 years.

When I was lost in the storm and knocked on the door of the desolate farm house, the farmer said I would have to share a bed with his beautiful daughter. I was all psyched until...
