Sleep quality drops fast above 28°C, and what you wear matters almost as much as the fan speed. The goal: loose, breathable, nothing that traps heat.
Skip synthetics
Polyester pyjamas hold heat and sweat against your skin. That clammy 3am wake-up is fabric, not fate.
Loose beats tight
Air needs to move. A roomy cotton boxer short lets it; tight trunks and leggings don’t.
Cotton poplin is the sweet spot
Woven, airy, dries quickly if you do sweat, and doesn’t cling. Our boxers: men’s and women’s. Have an inner elastic that doesn’t dig in when you roll over, and a back pocket for your earphones if you fall asleep to a podcast.
Top half
A loose cotton tee or nothing. Keep the room dark, the fan on, and the boxers printed.
Pick a sleep pair from the men’s or women’s rack.
Good to know
Made in India: Envisioned, designed and made in India. Our boxers are stitched in our own workshop by people we know, in small batches, which is how we can put out a new print without betting on ten thousand units of it.
Summer: In an Indian summer, boxers should be light enough to see light through, woven so air passes, and cut loose so nothing traps heat. Digital printing helps here too. Screen-print ink adds a plasticky layer that holds warmth against the skin.
Wash colours: Prints stay loud when you keep brights with darks and whites with whites, wash cold, and avoid the tumble dryer. Digital printing bonds dye to the fibre, so colour loss is minimal. The 1-year colour guarantee exists because we rarely have to use it.

Do cotton boxers shrink?
Only with heat. Cold washes and line drying keep the fit; the inner elastic forgives a little anyway.
What fabric are Whats Down boxers?
100% cotton poplin: woven, breathable, quick-drying and softer with every wash.
