Historians disagree on the history of the footed pajama. Some say they  were brought from Persia in the 1800s, while others claim India was the  place of origin and that they were brought to the West in 1880. The word  \u201cpajama\u201d itself according to linguists originates from an Indian word  meaning \u201cleg clothes.\u201dPajamas rapidly grew in popularity in Europe where they helped people  stay warm during the cold winter nights. By 1898, footed pajamas were  advertised for sale in London, and their popularity continued to grow  from that point.So why are footie pajamas so warm? Well, the fact that the pajamas are  one-piece helps prevent heat from escaping too far from the body. With  non-footie pajamas there are a lot of \u201cvents\u201d that allow the warmth  generated by the human body to dissipate. The footie traps this warmth  and allows it to circulate throughout the inside of the pajama area  including around the feet. Since the feet are often the first thing to  get cold, the footie pajama was really a blessing in helping people get  to sleep in cold climates. Even in the modern age with our centrally heated homes, we can still use  footed pajamas to help keep the heating bill lower while still sleeping  comfortably.\u00a0 In fact, saving electricity on heating also has the added  benefit of reducing our impact on the environment.<\/p>\n<div id=\"textpreview_599208\">While footed pajamas were originally popular with people of all ages,  they eventually became worn mainly by children because of their  sensitivity to the cold. However, teens and adults are again taking to  these comfortable pajamas both for their warmth, and because they bring  back cherished memories from their youth. Footed pajamas are just plain fun for all ages.\u00a0 We think you will love our great selection of footies from Big Feet Pajama Company, Footzies and Snug as a Bug.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Footed pajamas are often thought of as night wear for small kids, but both teens and adults are now wearing footies again!\u00a0 Many older people like footie pajamas because they bring back memories of the fun they had in their childhood.
