Frequently asked questions

The range is built on breathable cotton and cotton-blend fabrics, with loose, easy cuts that let air move around the body. That combination works for warm nights as well as cooler ones: in summer the pieces stay light and airy, and in winter the same pieces layer under a robe or a blanket. We do not publish thread counts or fabric weights, because we only state what is confirmed for each garment — if you want the exact composition and care label text for a specific piece before ordering, ask us and we will send it.

Start by measuring rather than guessing: chest or bust, waist and hip, measured over light clothing and kept level. Compare those numbers against the fit notes given on the product page, and if you sit between two sizes, choose the larger one for sets and nightdresses — sleepwear should never feel tight across the body. The size & care guide walks through measuring and the difference between the men’s and women’s cuts. If you are still unsure, send us your measurements and the piece you are considering and we will advise before you order.

Wash at a low temperature on a gentle cycle, with similar colours, and avoid anything harsh. Skip the tumble dryer where you can — heat is what distorts cotton — and dry flat or on a line instead. Iron on a low setting if needed, and do not bleach. Follow the care label on the garment you receive: it is the authoritative instruction for that piece, and we do not publish separate figures that could contradict it.

The women’s pieces are cut with more room through the bust and hip, and the nightdresses are a women’s style. The men’s pieces are straighter through the shoulder and chest. Everything is loose and comfortable rather than fitted, so plenty of customers wear across both lines — choose by the measurements and the fit you prefer rather than by the label.

Cotton sets are the most versatile: a top and trousers that work together or separately. Lounge pants are for evenings and slow mornings when you want soft trousers rather than a full set. Robes are the layer to throw on over anything, and the lightest option for warm weather or travel. Nightdresses are the simplest thing to sleep in — one piece, nothing to adjust.

The cuts are relaxed, not oversized — there is enough room to move and sleep in, but the shape still follows the body rather than hanging off it. If you want a closer line, take your usual size; if you prefer more drape, take the size up.

Sleepwear is one of the most reliable gifts there is, and the range is designed to be easy to give: neutral, wearable pieces without anything loud or seasonal about them. Orders arrive ready to hand over, and if you would like a message included, email us after ordering and we will arrange it. Gift questions and the full gifting ideas are on the gifting page.

For summer, lightweight robes and nightdresses keep things cool, and cotton sets are the lightest of the two-piece options. In winter, cotton sets worn with a robe layer well, and lounge pants are the warmest thing in the range. Because the fabrics breathe, the same pieces work across the year — the difference is how you layer them.

Orders are dispatched from our warehouse; the estimated delivery window for your order is confirmed at checkout before you pay. If you are ordering from Outside Europe, contact us first and we will confirm whether we can ship to your address and what it involves.

We photograph products as accurately as we can, but screens differ and small variations in shade are normal — especially between fabric batches. If an exact colour matters to you, ask before ordering and we will describe it plainly. For anything else, email shop@fuelstoragetanks.shop · +44 7543 892991 and we will come back to you.
