Hi,

Can you please tell me do these suits come in various sizes!

Currently looking to buy suitable flight wear to change into, but would appreciate your input here with the said sleep wear Virgin offer.

Thanks

Yes they do, can't remember if they do small, but def Medium and Large.

They do small too Neil.

None of them fit me properly.

For the bottoms:
Medium are too short in length but musy have a waist of 40" on them. Smalls are too short. Large well I won't even bother with as I can't do the drawstring up tight enough to stop them falling off but they are the right length (I'm 5ft 11).

The tops, all similar, nothing fits me correctly.

They're awful quality anyway so in future I'll just take my own stuff to change into.

Regrettably, I find them ill-fitting, ill-laundered (yes, there's every chance they've been 'pre-worn') and positively sweat-inducing thanks to their 100% polyester construction. Buy a nice set of soft cotton PJs from M&S and you'll be much comfier.

In one ninja suit I wore I found, once I got home, some crumbs and a eye mask in the pocket from a previous user !

Bring something comfy from home instead.

I waged a campaign a while ago urging people to take them away with them so they couldn't be re-incarnated as items "previously enjoyed". Yeuk :$ :$ . They are however a mere 65% polyester - still enough to generate the odd blue spark and have sweat running like the Misssissippi River though :0 .

I tend to wear the bottoms and take a T-shirt for the top, the tops of the sleep suits are long sleeve, which I find too much. The polyester content and a high cabin temperature do not work together either.

The fact that they are prewashed doesn't bother me, we all go to hotels and use prewashed sheets and towels with nary a second thought.

I find them too hot.

I take some soft cool yoga pants, a nice soft cool t-shirt and a sleep bra to change into (don't like underwires sticking into my ribcage whilst I try to sleep). I then get a sleepsuit (in a small) to wear the top if I get cold (quite rare on a plane!).

Am I the only person that likes them ?|

They hold up very well, in fact I still have a couple of sets of the grey and purple ones !

You know, I hear that Neil does the very same thing for much the same reason...

65% poly is about 65% too much in a set of PJs. And it's not laundering that I have a problem with per se; it's bad laundering that worries me. Never mind crumbs in the pockets, I had one once with soup stains down the front (at least, I hope it was soup). And what if the previous incumbent - god forbid - went 'commando'?! Doesn't bear thinking about.

I don't mind the bottoms so much, and can't really be doing with the hassle of having to take some in my carry on. I do agree about the tops, they are to big and prefer a short sleeved top if I have to wear one whilst sleeping, and they can be folded very small so don't take much room.

I usually get my valet to bring my quilted smoking jacket and slippers (and a footstool). Then after a good book and the maid had brought my cocoa, I change into my paisley 100% cotton PJs, climb into bed and get the butler to blow out the candles.

I get some stange looks from the other economy passengers, but I don't mind.

Night night :)

Indeed there isn't, although the VS sleep suit is very good at hiding my truss!

Are we talking small, medium or large?

(the sleep suit and not the truss, obviously!) ;)
