Men find Women in PY JAMAS more sexist than lacy lingerie and even more so than sleeping with NOTHING ON. Really?

If you're scouring the lingerie sections for something frilly, lacy, skimpy, silky and downright uncomfortable in which to sleep in order to impress your man.... you might be wasting your time and your money.

Men find women in pyjamas sexier than both those who wear frilly lingerie to bed and those who wear nothing at all, according to a survey.

And when it comes to female preference, women would rather men wore simple boxers or underwear to bed - and certainly not a football shirt.

Some 37 per cent of men polled about nighttime wardrobe choices said a full set of pyjamas was the sexiest thing their girlfriend or wife could wear in bed; 55 per cent of those who picked pyjamas explained their reasoning by saying full PJ sets looked 'cute' on women in the bedroom, while 21 per cent found the modesty of pyjamas attractive.

Sexy lingerie did come second in the poll, with 32 per cent of men quizzed by memory foam mattress company Ergoflex saying they preferred something skimpy on a lady.

Just 27 per cent said negligee or a nightie was the best choice, while 22 per cent said nothing was sexier than seeing a women sleeping in borrowed man's clothing, be it pyjamas or a T-shirt.

And only 16 per cent of men said they liked their woman sleeping in nothing at all.

Women, on the other hand, would rather see their chaps in just boxers or underwear in bed, with 35 per cent of the fairer sex saying that was the sexiest thing a man could wear in which to sleep
