Cotton Velour

Velour is chosen for its rich, velvety softness and cozy touch. The short, dense pile creates a plush surface that shifts beautifully in tone as you move. The cotton base pairs with the pile; check the style description for the exact composition.

How Velour Feels

Soft and velvety, with a noticeable short pile. Depending on the direction you stroke it, the surface feels smoother or slightly grippier — the pile direction creates lighter and darker areas, a natural optical feature. It’s more enveloping than smooth cotton or thin viscose silk.

Is It Warm?

The pile traps air, so velour sets are usually great for cool homes, fall, and winter. For a very warm bedroom, light muslin or cotton may be more comfortable.

How It Keeps Its Look

The pile can flatten under pressure and gradually smooth out where there’s constant friction. Light lint and dust show more on dark surfaces. Protect velour from hook-and-loop fasteners and sharp jewelry.

Washing and Drying

• Follow the care label. If washing is allowed, usually a delicate cycle up to 86°F (30°C) with a mild liquid detergent.
• Turn inside out and wash separately from towels and linty fabrics. Don’t overfill the drum.
• Avoid high spin speeds, wringing, and a hot dryer.
• Air dry and gently smooth out; don’t hang heavy wet garments by narrow parts.
• Don’t press a hot iron onto the pile — steam or iron inside out on the allowed setting only.

Who It’s For

For anyone looking for a warm loungewear set with a velvety surface. For a more matte feel with a lighter nap, see flannel.

We make women’s pajama pants sets, robe sets, 3-piece pajama sets, men’s pajamas, and matching family sets in velour. Other warm fabrics: cotton flannel and brushed cotton.
