Finding the right fit for your most restful nights.
When it comes to sleep, most people obsess over mattresses, supplements, and room temperature.
But what you wear to bed, and how it fits your body, plays an equally powerful role.
That’s especially true with a garment like the Samue.
Originally worn by Japanese Zen monks, the samue is designed for ease of movement, long hours of stillness, and comfort during both physical work and quiet rest.
But the modern wearer has one question before anything else:
What size should I get for the best sleep quality?
Let’s break it down.
🧘 First: Samue Are Meant to Be Relaxed, Not Tight
Unlike tailored Western clothing or fitted pajamas, samue are cut roomy by design.
They’re not meant to hug the body, they’re meant to move with it. The looseness isn’t just aesthetic, it improves circulation, reduces tension, and helps your body cool more naturally as you sleep.
So if you're between sizes or unsure, the general rule is:
go looser, not tighter.
