Proudly Australian owned Eaden exists to help you get a better night’s rest by easing the discomfort associated with night sweats and hot flushes. Far beyond traditional sleepwear fabrics, Eaden’s patented Dri-Release wicking fabric is specifically designed to draw moisture away from the skin, helping to regulate body temperature and (for most) eliminating the need to change sleepwear during the night. It’s super soft, wrinkle resistant and won’t shrink or lose its wicking properties. Eaden Sleepwear won’t stop those pesky night sweats but it will keep you looking good and sleeping more comfortably, night after night.
