Kids Pajama Wholesale: Cotton vs Polyester, Pricing, MOQ Guide for Retailers

The Kids Pajama Market in India

Kids pajamas are a year-round product with no off-season — unlike school uniforms which peak in March-June. Every child between ages 0-14 wears pajamas daily, creating massive and consistent demand. For wholesale retailers, kids pajamas offer high margins (50-80%), fast inventory turnover, and repeat purchases.

This guide covers everything you need to know about sourcing kids pajamas wholesale — from fabric selection and sizing to pricing and MOQ requirements.

Cotton vs Polyester — Which Fabric to Choose?

100% Cotton Pajamas

Best for: Summer months, babies (0-2 years), premium market

• Soft, breathable, hypoallergenic


• Ideal for hot Indian summers (April-September)


• Absorbs sweat, keeps kids comfortable


• Higher perceived value — parents prefer cotton for skin contact


• Drawbacks: Shrinks 5-8%, wrinkles easily, colours may fade faster, higher price point

Cotton-Polyester Blend (60/40 or 70/30)

Best for: Year-round wear, ages 2-14, value market

• Combines softness of cotton with durability of polyester


• Less shrinkage (2-3%), better colour retention


• Lower price point than 100% cotton


• Easier to maintain — parents appreciate low-maintenance clothing


• Our recommendation: Stock 60% cotton-blend and 40% pure cotton for optimal sales

100% Polyester (Fleece/Microfiber)

Best for: Winter months, thermal pajamas

• Warm, lightweight, quick-drying


• Excellent for winter sleepwear (October-February)


• Very durable, no shrinkage


• Drawback: Not breathable for summer, can cause sweating
