I don’t know about you, but I take my sleep very seriously. In fact, over the years, I’ve perfected my exact conditions for optimal snoozing. The room should be dark and cool. Perhaps a window is cracked to keep the air circulating. I, in contrast to my chilled quarters, am snug as a bug. Warm, but not too warm beneath the heft of my covers, from which approximately half of my right foot peeks out. My pillowcase? Silk. Skincare routine? Complete. Pajamas? The softest fabric known to man—even down to my bra.
Yes, dear reader, it’s true: some people do sleep in bras. I know this fact is unimaginable to many, but bear with me. Bra wearers tend to fall into two camps: There are those who live for the moment when they get home after a long day and can finally free themselves of the prison upon their chest, and those who earnestly feel more comfortable wearing a bra all the time, even to bed. People with larger busts, for instance, often need the support that a bra provides around the clock. Others simply prefer to have a bra on. A hot take, perhaps, but a take nonetheless.
No matter your stance on the subject, you know that there are good bras and bad bras. Even if you’re willing to put up with a subpar bra during waking hours, sleep is sacred. Bedtime is not to be messed with or disturbed by anything, least of all an inferior brassiere. Ahead, find the best bras for sleeping in.
