The 10 Most Comfortable Bras You Can Actually Sleep In

My chest has never been particularly small. In fact, I specifically remember entering fourth grade and needing a full-fledged underwire bra. And while my boobs have their benefits, they’ve often gotten in the way ever since they showed up — especially when I'm trying to get comfy in bed. Fortunately, some of the most comfortable bras you can sleep in are designed to alleviate any breast discomfort you may experience while you’re lying in bed at night. And don't worry if you’ve got a larger bust — the best sleep bras are comfortable and supportive without chafing or constricting.

But, what makes for a great sleeping bra? While regular every day and sports bras can function as sleep and leisure bras, not all of them fit the bill. Chafing materials, underwires, and stiff cups cause poking, annoying skin marks, and boob slippage that’s more likely to keep you tossing and turning. However, if you’re like me and you hate the feeling of your boobs parting like the Red Sea while you’re lying on your back, you’ve got some options.

When shopping for a sleep bra, look for breathable and soft fabrics like cotton or bamboo, blended with a good amount of spandex for comfort and stretch. While underwires can be a bit uncomfortable depending on your sleep style, if you’re looking for more support as you sleep there’s a great underwire sleep bra on this list with a longline design that keeps it in place even as you toss and turn. And, for back sleepers, look for front-closure bras which make for a more comfortable design without you laying on a clasp all night long.

Here are some of the most raved-about sleep bras that offer both comfort and centering support, so you can sleep in any position without gravity pulling you down.
