Check this out. Children's sleepwear is supposed to be flame resistant. However, according to this report, companies trying to save money are simply misnaming sleepwear so they don't have to spend the money to make them flame resistant.

Almost always, the only pajamas that are treated are made from 100% polyester or nylon. I would sleep in 100% polyester, and I wouldn't dress my kids for sleep in it either. I prefer to use snug-fitting cotton pajamas (preferably organic cotton), which do conform to all safety standards and don't produce harmful chemicals in their manufacture.

I think that polyester/chemically-treated "flame-resistant" stuff is gross, too!
I don't worry much about the organic part, but I do avoid the treated stuff. Snug-fitting PJs are just as safe in a fire (and safer with regards to chemicals), more comfy and look cuter, too! |
