Sleep Hats

I'm new here but not new to alopeicia.  I've had Alopecia Universalis now for almost 8 years.  I'm trying to address something that has bothered me now for some time - not having a comfortable sleep hat that actually stays on all night!  I'm handy with a sewing machine and have some ideas/designs that I'm working on and will report asap when I have something positive to offer.  In the meantime I'm wondering if anyone else out here has related experiences and/or ideas to share?

Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas, but I can definitely sympathize -- I have the same problem.  I've tried several sleep hats/turbans and have yet to find one that I really like.  I always have the same problems: My ears are more sensitive to cold than the rest of my head, but I can't find a cap that covers them without going too low on my forehead.

I was watching the movie Florence Foster Jenkins over the weekend -- the main character suffers from alopecia and wears a pretty awesome turban to bed.  It looked comfy, but then again, Hugh Grant tenderly put it on her, so that might have helped, haha. ;)

Thanks Stacie.  Yes I know the ear problem well and am working on it.... I'll let you know how I go.  As you say Hugh Grant's touch would make almost any turban comfortable hehe.

Thank you Gon.  The lace beanies do look very nice.  I'll have to try them too.

I just piled a soft sweater around the top of my head last winter, and slept warmly.

Nice.  But how did you get it to stay on?

I sleep in these and just love them. They wash very well. They are very soft and comfortable. not too hot.
