The Cool Nightdress
Why it sleeps cool
Why it sleeps cool
Two things make a nightdress feel hot: fabric that holds heat against your skin, and a cut that traps it. The Cool Nightdress is made from a lightweight, breathable fabric that wicks moisture away from your skin, in a loose shape that lets air move as you do.

Our story
Started by a daughter, for her mum.
Sarah's mum, Mary, had her young. So when the hot nights and broken sleep of menopause arrived, Sarah was old enough to see it, and old enough to want to help.
Watching my mum struggle with night sweats and the discomfort of menopause, I wished I could make things a little easier for her. Seeing someone I love go through this inspired me to start the business, to help my mum, and other women like her, feel more comfortable and more like themselves.
This nightdress was Sarah's idea: light, loose and breathable, made for Mary and the nights that run hot.
Some traditions call the years after menopause a second spring. We took the name.
Sarah, founder of Second Spring
How it's made
Made for nights that run hot
Four choices, each one there to keep you cooler and more comfortable.
-
01
The fabric
A light jersey knitted from bamboo viscose with a touch of stretch. Soft, breathable and quick to wick moisture away.
-
02
The cut
Loose from the shoulder, with no waistband. The V-neck keeps your neck and chest clear.
-
03
The seams
Flat seams and a printed label in place of a sewn-in tag. Nothing to rub or scratch.
-
04
The finish
Pre-washed, so the fit you buy is the fit you keep. Two side pockets.
One on, one in the wash.
A nightdress you sleep in every night needs a twin. The two-pack means there is always a fresh one ready, and each nightdress costs less than buying one at a time.
