Motherhood changes you. It teaches you patience, resilience, and an immeasurable depth of love. But it also teaches you heartbreak; the kind that comes from watching your child struggle, knowing that no matter how much you wish to take away their pain, some battles are theirs to fight.
My daughter’s battle has been with eczema and dermatitis since she was a baby. I have watched her tiny hands scratch at her delicate skin, tears welling up in frustration as the itchiness became unbearable. I have stayed up through restless nights, stroking her back, whispering soothing words, knowing that comfort felt impossibly out of reach. And I have spent years searching for answers trying every lotion, every remedy, every small way to make life just a little bit easier for her.
It was through this journey that I grew not just as a mother, but as a woman determined to create something better.
When I founded Homebodii over 13 years ago, I wanted to design beautiful sleepwear. This has grown into creating not only beautiful sleepwear but something that felt like a second skin—soft, breathable, and gentle enough for even the most sensitive souls. Every fabric I choose, every detail I refine, is done with the same care I give to my daughter.
From Our Founder: Sleepwear for Eczema and Sensitive Skin
Why Fabric Choice Matters for Eczema
Eczema and sensitive skin can be triggered by heat, friction, and synthetic fabrics that don’t allow the skin to breathe. Many commercial sleepwear brands rely on polyester, which can trap moisture and cause irritation—leading to flare-ups, rashes, and discomfort.
When designing for Homebodii, my priority was clear: no compromise on comfort or quality. Every fabric I select must be:
✔ Breathable – to prevent overheating
✔ Soft and smooth – to reduce friction against the skin
✔ Moisture-wicking – to keep skin dry and irritation-free
✔ Free from harsh chemicals – for ultimate skin safety
This is why we focus on natural, sustainable, and OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics, ensuring that every woman—especially those with sensitive skin—can experience the luxury of soft, irritation-free sleepwear.
The Best Homebodii Sleepwear for Eczema and Itchy Skin
One of our most-loved pieces, the Petra Slip, is made from 100% modal, a fabric derived from beech tree fibres. It is:
Naturally antibacterial – ideal for eczema-prone skin
Ultra-soft & lightweight – like a second skin
Hypoallergenic & breathable – preventing overheating
My daughter loves modal because it feels cool and silky, without causing irritation or itchiness.
Our Tencel™ PJ sets are another perfect option for sensitive skin. Made from sustainably sourced wood pulp, this fabric:
Regulates temperature to prevent night sweats
Absorbs moisture to keep skin dry
Feels incredibly smooth, reducing friction
If you find that heat or sweating triggers your eczema, Tencel™ is a cooling, breathable alternative that will keep your skin calm and happy all night long.
I am incredibly proud that many of our sleepwear pieces are OEKO-TEX® certified, meaning they are tested for harmful substances and guaranteed to be safe for sensitive skin.
Knowing that my daughter wears these pieces with ease gives me the confidence to share them with you—because I only create sleepwear that I wholeheartedly trust.
A Personal Promise
At Homebodii, we believe that every woman deserves to feel beautiful and comfortable in what she wears—especially when it comes to sleepwear for sensitive skin. I have spent years ensuring that our fabrics are not just luxurious, but also safe, breathable, and eczema-friendly.
If you have itchy, reactive skin or struggle to find sleepwear that feels as good as it looks, I invite you to explore our collection. I hope you find the same comfort and relief that my daughter and I have discovered in these carefully curated pieces.
With love,
Ingrid Bonnor
Founder, Homebodii
