Flannel pajamas are popular for two reasons -- they are soft and they are warm. Cozy, comfy, all those words apply too. But there is even more reason to wear flannel pajamas if you have osteoarthritis. Flannel pajamas keep joints and muscles warm, possibly reducing joint stiffness and joint pain. Flannel pajamas are usually loose and unrestrictive which is good for comfort. Here are just a few of the flannel pajamas available -- and if it's not quite the season for them yet, consider shopping early for Christmas gifts.

1. L.L.Bean Pima Cotton Flannel Sleepwear Set Print Misses' Regular

According to the manufacturer, the long-staple pima yarns give the fabric greater durability than ordinary cotton, but with the same easy care. Includes a button-front shirt, pull-on pants with straight legs and an elastic waistband. Machine washable and dryable. L.L.Bean clothing is good quality -- I have bought from their catalogs for years.
