Meet the Brands: A Quick Introduction

When it comes to sleepwear and loungewear, shoppers are spoilt for choice. Brands like Arabella, French Country, and Papinelle Sleepwear have earned loyal followings for good reason. But there’s one name that’s a little closer to home—Lotus Cotton, our very own in-house sleepwear label at The Foundation.

Lotus Cotton: Designed With Heart

Lotus isn’t just another label on the rack. It’s deeply personal to us. We travel to India ourselves to hand-select the highest quality organic cottons and natural fabrics, then work closely with Australian pattern makers to bring each piece to life. The result? Beautiful sleepwear made for real bodies and real comfort.

Arabella: Classic Elegance

Arabella is beloved for its timeless designs and floaty silhouettes. Think romantic nighties, delicate trims, and feminine flair. At The Foundation, we’re proud to stock Arabella because it caters to women who love graceful, vintage-inspired styling.

Papinelle: Trendy and Playful

Papinelle Sleepwear strikes a balance between fashion-forward floral prints and comfortable fabrics. Their range includes pjs in cotton, silk cotton blend nighties, and luxe robes. Some styles—like their Quilted Cotton Maxi Robe or Florence Silk pieces—offer that expensive cotton/silk sleepwear touch. It's popular among those with a true style preference for elevated lounging.

French Country: Soft and Dreamy

French Country offers ultra-soft pieces that lean into comfort and delicate details. With pastel tones and breathable cotton night styles, this brand delivers a natural sleepwear feel with a soft aesthetic.

Where Lotus Cotton Stands Apart

While we love and respect these other brands, Lotus Cotton is our labour of love. Here’s how it sets itself apart:

Designed in Australia with real women in mind
Crafted from natural fabrics, including organic cottons
Focused on comfortable sleepwear with inclusive sizing
Exclusive to The Foundation, not available elsewhere
Offers affordable alternatives to more expensive brands, without compromising on quality
