Short answer: with everyday wear, bamboo-viscose pajamas are usually the easier pair to keep in rotation, because they can often go in the washing machine while silk generally needs delicate handling; how long either lasts still depends on the weave, blend and care. If you’re leaning bamboo, several of MossRiver’s women’s lounge sets list 95% bamboo viscose or bamboo fiber with 5% spandex, mostly in long-sleeve two-piece styles; each product page states the exact fabric and care.
