What brands of scrubs are the most comfortable?

Published

I bought scrubs for my clinicals from Walmart since I will only be in them for 2 8 hour days. They're stiff and uncomfortable. I want my LPN scrubs to be comfy, which ones are the best?

Grays Anatomy! I feel like I'm wearing pajamas to work! And I have sets that have lasted 3 years so far without fading!

Barco (I think its the same company that makes Grays Anatomy)

I just bought 4 pair of Smitten brand scrubs. They are expensive, but the most comfortable, best fitting scrubs I have ever worn. I am big busted but small waisted & these are the only tops that seem to cut in at the waist just right to make me not look like I'm just big all over. The material has a good amount of stretch as well so they really move with you. I love that the regular length flip hip pants I got have a 31.5 inch inseam too because I am always in between a regular and tall length in most brands. I love them, not to mention they have a super cute heart with wings logo!

bbest9, How do they compare with other scrubs (like grey's, koi, etc) with fit and length (for the top and bottom)? They look good on the site. They have inside drawstrings, are those comfortable? thanks for showing a new possibility in scrubs~!

Check out Floridasummer on eBay. She designs her own brand and is the best tops ever made. Period! My wife have a collection of 87 tops from her and is the best dressed nurse in the hospital and receives compliments all the time. Her store is (floridasummer) one word

Jockey's. They fit the best and I liked the colors. They don't fade and they are soft. The zipper pocket is very small though but I think I can stick my phone in it if I wanted to.

Grey's Anatomy scrubs, particularly Grey's Signature are the creme de la creme when it comes to nursing scrubs. They're luxuriously soft, thanks to the special arclux technology incorporated into the fabric, and they feature a four way stretch which allows you to move about with comfort and ease. Although a bit pricier than most scrubs, it's definitely worth it in the long run, as they will outlast most scrubs and provide you with maximum comfort, which is key while on the job.

I LOVE my Koi scrubs, hands down the softest, most durable and best fitting. Grey's are great but don't come in large/short sizes. I'm short & chubby and the Koi XXL fits perfectly. Also my lab coats are Koi. Worth their cost and USA made too!

The Cherokee Flexibles tops are the most comfortable I've ever worn. I agree, I can't stand the stiffness, which is the problem I had with the basic Cherokee scrubs, but the Flexibles have super soft, stretchy panels along both sides for more comfort and a better fit!

Barco Brand! Grey's Anatomy, NrG etc. they are all super soft, don't wrinkle much and come in short, long etc. seriously, worth the money you spend on them! It typically runs like $50 for a set, but soooooooo worth it.

Definitely NRG by Barco. I'm also a big fan of the Urbane by Landau.... slightly firmer material, but more fitted so very comfortable for me!

I've tried a few brands and my favorite is Smitten Rumor

The material is almost like a windsuit and its light and airy and when you sweat you don't get the "wet" spots, plus I've never had to iron them and they're never wrinkled.

Jockey would be my #2 choice. I had a pair for a few years that are still in near perfect condition.

I also prefer Koi even they are not cheap. Colors are beautiful and last. And they are available also in petite and tall.
