My love for PJs
Meet the founder
Penny Armenio is the 24-year-old founder of REM Sleepwear. When she’s not designing cozy pajamas, you’ll find her around horses, indulging in self-care, or cherishing time with loved ones. Her passion for comfort, confidence, and purpose is woven into every set she creates.
"I’ve always believed that cozy pajamas are the start of a beautiful evening routine. This small act of self-care has always helped me feel more confident and more myself. I created REM Sleepwear to share that feeling with others. After losing my dad to cancer, I felt called to build something that blended comfort, confidence, and giving back. By donating a portion of each sale to cancer care and research, I honor his legacy through something I truly love. Each set is thoughtfully made to wrap you in comfort, boost your confidence, and support a cause. I’m so excited to share this dream with you."
Our Goal
Confidence begins with comfort.
REM Sleepwear was created to inspire confidence through quiet luxury and self care. Each set is crafted from elevated, breathable fabrics that move effortlessly with you, designed to flatter, support, and restore. Our signature 2 inch waistband offers a perfect fit for your body, combining modern design with timeless comfort.
Founder led and purpose driven, REM redefines attainable luxury for the modern woman. More than pajamas, they are an invitation to slow down, recharge, and feel your best, wrapped in comfort, compassion, and confidence.

💭 how it all started
REM Sleepwear began during Penny’s senior year of college, inspired by a class that encouraged her to build something that stood out. One quiet Sunday, while folding pajamas, she found herself comparing brands. Thinking about what she loved, what she didn’t, and what was missing, that simple moment sparked a bold idea: a sleepwear brand rooted in comfort, confidence, quality, and purpose.

💖 penny's why
Penny’s father dedicated his life to treating cancer patients before bravely facing his own battle. REM Sleepwear became more than just a dream, it became a way to honor him and give back to others. Comfort and compassion are at the core of every set.

🎗️ purpose in every pair
REM Sleepwear donates 2% of profits to cancer care and research in the Boston area, with a long-term goal to create a fund that supports families experiencing the financial strain of cancer treatment. When you support REM, you’re helping us make a difference, one pair of pajamas at a time.

why sleep matters
Your body and brain rely on 7–9 hours of quality sleep to recover, regulate mood, and support immunity. Sleep happens in cycles: light, deep, and REM, all working together to restore you from the inside out.
-
comfort that supports sleep
While pajamas can’t control your REM cycle, soft, breathable, and stretchy sleepwear can help minimize nighttime disruptions and keep you cozy through every stage of rest.
-
small rituals, big impact
A calming routine like tea, skincare, reading, or an eye mask can help signal your body it’s time to rest. Limit screens, stress, and alcohol for even deeper ZZZs.
