Buyer checklist
We read all five listings off the live Amazon.com pages, bullets and detail tables both, and compared them on the four things that are actually stated and checkable: fiber content, sizing, seam construction and pairs per pack. Fiber content turned out to be the finding, so we checked it in the detail table rather than trusting the title. On claims, several of these listings say their gloves heal cracked hands or relieve eczema and psoriasis, and one describes deep penetrating therapy. Those are the sellers' words, not findings of ours, and we have attributed them rather than repeated them. A cotton glove is a piece of knitted fabric; whether covering your hands overnight helps your skin is a question for a clinician who can see it, not for a product listing and not for us. Nothing here was worn, washed or measured by us, and we make no claim about any of these gloves affecting a skin condition.
It matters if the reason you chose cotton was to avoid synthetics, which is the common reason. Cotton is a natural fiber that breathes and absorbs moisture; polyester is a plastic filament that does neither as well and holds onto heat. A 75% cotton, 25% polyester knit is stretchier and cheaper to make, and for general use such as handling items or keeping lotion off the sheets the difference is small. If you specifically wanted a non-synthetic fabric against irritated skin, the blend is not the product you were shopping for, and the title alone will not tell you. Four of the five here are 100% cotton; the 18-pair bulk pack is the blend, stated in its own first bullet and its detail table.
Buy a size if the brand offers one and you know your hands run small or large. The selizo and the 18-pair bulk listing are one-size, both about 9 inches long, which works for a lot of people and is loose on small hands. Cottonnerie offers S, M and L, and COOLJOB runs XS to L, so both let you pick. Fit matters more than it sounds on a sleep glove: too loose and it works its way off overnight, which is why several of these add an elastic cuff or a stitched wristband; too tight across the knuckles and you will take it off.
Only if they rub somewhere already sore, in which case they make a real difference. Most cotton gloves are cut and sewn, leaving seams along the fingers and across the fingertips. The Evridwear pair is knitted seamless and its listing makes that an explicit selling point against sewn competitors. If you are wearing gloves because your hands are cracked or raw, a seam sitting on a fissure is the kind of small thing that stops you wearing them. If your hands are simply dry, it is not worth paying extra for.
All five say yes, with different instructions worth following. selizo asks for a gentle wash, air drying and no bleach. COOLJOB says machine wash in tepid water with dye-free soap, do not iron, dry naturally, and supplies a mesh bag to wash them in. The bulk pack says machine or hand wash. Cotton knits shrink in hot water and a hot dryer, and these are thin, so a hot wash is how a glove that fitted stops fitting. Dye-free detergent is sensible advice for anything worn against irritated skin, whichever pair you buy.
