Heard everyone raving about Djerf Avenue pajamas online, especially all those cozy Instagram shots. Super curious if they lived up to the hype or were just expensive hypebeast bait. Grabbed my credit card to test a set myself.
Ordering process
Went straight to their official site around midnight last Tuesday. Menu navigation felt clunky – had to click through three pages just to find pajamas. Chose the cloud print set in size Medium. Checkout made me type my address twice for some reason. Paid, got the confirmation email instantly. Shipping notification took two whole days though.
Waiting game & delivery
Tracking showed the package bouncing between Sweden and Germany for a week. Finally arrived after 11 days squashed in my mailbox. Box was dented but the inside packaging was neat – tissue paper with their logo, recycled cardboard sleeve. Felt fancy but also kinda wasteful.
First touch test
Unwrapped the top and pants immediately. Fabric felt thinner than expected, like my old H&M pajamas but smoother. Held it against sunlight: slightly see-through, especially the pants. The print looked exactly like photos though, no color differences. Smelled faintly like new cotton, no chemical stink.
Wear trial session
Tried them on after showering that night. Pros first: the waistband didn’t dig in at all during sleep, and the sleeves stayed put without tightening. Major downside? The top rode up constantly when I rolled over. Woke up with it bunched under my armpits twice. Also noticed pilling already under the arms after one night – disappointing at this price point.
Washing experiment
Followed their care label: cold wash, gentle cycle, hung dry. Colors didn’t bleed but the fabric got noticeably rougher. Those pills under the arms got worse. Waistband elastic still felt strong though. Tried machine drying once on low heat – big mistake. Shrank about half an inch in length. Stick to air drying unless you want crop-top pajamas.
Long-term comfort check
Wore them five nights total. Still comfy temperature-wise (not too hot), but that fabric roughness bothered me more each night. Also noticed stitching coming loose near the collar button after third wash. My old Target pajamas held up better after a year. Yeah I know, comparisons are unfair but $120 vs $20? Come on.
Final verdict after testing
-
The good stuff
- Lightweight for summer sleeping
- Accurate sizing and cute prints
- No tightness or choking feeling
The bad reality
Honestly? They’re decent pajamas but not magical. If you buy them, treat them like delicate lingerie – wear carefully, wash gently, expect fragility. Personally wouldn’t repurchase unless they fix that pilling issue. My ancient Target set’s laughing at these from the closet.
