I guess having grown up in poly pjs I don't consider them as an option: the feel of them drove me crazy and I always was sweating in them. Birch had the same problem with his poly pjs from last winter- he would wake up sweating and call for us. But, yes, they are less expensive. http://www.onlypajamas.com has a great selection of poly pjs for kids and adults. Some of the kids pjs on their site are listed for $15. Heather,

"Most sleepwear made from synthetic fiber is polyester, and according to the CPSC, under 1% of either polyester or cotton sleepwear garments are treated with flame retardants. Clearly the best pajama choices are polyester or snug fitting cotton, organic if possible. I prefer sort of tight onesies that zip up the leg because getting a tired child into tight fitting two piece pj’s can be a wrestling match." In other words, while organic cotton is certainly a good choice, polyester is also an option. As long as you aren't ideologically opposed to it.
