Avenue Men’s Sleep Pants

EDITOR’S NOTE: We bought and reviewed these in 2017, and we still own them and wear them. See our update at the end of this post about how they’ve held up over the years. Aldi most recently advertised sleep pants for the week of October 15th, 2025. In 2025, they’re $8.99.

Aldi carries a rotating line of “upscale” men’s clothing through its Avenue brand (which used to be called Royal Class). We’ve sampled some of these products in the past, including belts and slippers. (I’m wearing the slippers right now, in fact.) All of these products, like their women’s counterparts in the Serra line, are limited-time Aldi Finds.

In the fall, Aldi is known to shelve some men’s and women’s sleepwear.

In 2017, we paid $6.99 for the Royal Class Men’s Sleep Pants (now Avenue Sleep Pants). As of 2025, they’re $8.99. That’s considerably less than most other flannel sleep pants out there.

When we bought these, the pants came in three sizes:

• Medium (M), for waist size 32-34
• Large (L), for waist size 36-38
• Extra Large (XL), for waist size 40-42

The sleep pants came in two versions: flannel and microfleece. Flannel is a more traditional option, while microfleece has a softer, fluffier feel. Both are 100% cotton and claim to be “brushed for softness and warmth.” They each come with an elastic waistband with drawstring, side seam pockets, and a button fly. According to the packaging, they were made in Bangladesh and are certified “Standard 100” by OEKO-TEK, which tests for harmful substances in textiles.

Based on personal preference, we went with flannel. The instructions call for machine washing with cold water with like colors, then tumbling dry on low. We did so.

Overall, they’re comfortable, and about as comfortable as other pairs of flannel sleep pants we’ve worn before. We were a little concerned about size because Royal Class / Avenue (and Serra) apparel can have unpredictable sizing, but these pajama pants were the size advertised.

Of note, we did find a few loose threads in one of the legs when we pulled it out of the dryer. While we’re no stranger to pajama pants being less than long-lasting, we can’t say for sure how durable these will be, and there’s no warranty.

The Verdict:

They’re your standard pair of sleep pants. They’re comfortable and fit the way they say they do. They’re also reasonably inexpensive. The jury’s still out on longevity and there’s no warranty to back them up, but if you’re looking for cheap sleep apparel you could do worse.

UPDATE 1 (11/21/17) — The pants developed a small tear along one of the inseams after a couple of washes, right in the spot where I’d spotted some loose threads in my original review. Fortunately someone in the house knows how to sew, but it goes to show that these may not be flawless when it comes to durability.

UPDATE 2 (12/5/2021) — Despite having a small tear the first month I owned them, I’m pleased to say that, since then, I’ve had no other issues with these pants. These flannel pants are some of my favorites to wear in the winter — they’re comfortable and warm without being too warm. I would buy them again … and in fact I have, since I’ve also purchased other Aldi sleep pants in later years. Those other pants have also held up well.

UPDATE 3 (10/9/2025) — We’ve owned this pair of sleep pants for eight years now, and they’re still holding together and are still comfortable. They’ve definitely passed the test of time.
