The Nitey Nite footed sleepers came packed with features that reflected the practical mindset of the time. They were made with absorbent cotton, offered shrink-resistant fits and included thoughtful touches like double soles, sweater cuffs and reinforced seams.
Gripper fasteners replaced buttons, which made life easier for parents and kids alike. These design choices reflected changing attitudes around child independence and home efficiency. By the early 1950s, Nitey Nite even began suggesting their sleepers could double as costume bases, showing just how flexible these garments had become in everyday family life.
