Where Do You Get Cotton Pj's for a Kindergartner?

DD has a sleepover tomorrow and could really use a pair of new PJ's - I was hoping to pick some up today, without much luck. Do kids not wear PJ's any more?
I checked Target and old Navy already. The Lady at ON told me they did no longer carry kids' PJ's in sizes larger than toddler because they wear sweats to bed now... well, not in my House! Target only has the polyester kind - that's a no go as well.

Any ideas where I can pick up just a simple, longsleeved pair of cotton PJ's today?
Thanks!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks Heidi... but there isn't a Walmart in a reasonable distance from us!
Thanks everyone! I ended up driving by OshKosh, saw they had a 50% off sale and we got a cute pair of PJ's! I got her last pair at Costco - but going there is always a bit of a hit and miss, sometimes they have them, sometimes they don't or not in her size.

By the way... this really reminded me of sticking to CHILDREN'S store's for kids clothes. Ever since she has grown out of toddler sizes I have been very dissapointed by 95% of the clothes offered for young girls at stores like Target, Old Navy and such... I mean I really don't need to put clothes on my 5 year old that are barely appropriate for a teen... I will need to stick to sales at Oshkosh, Hannah and the like from now on...

Hanna Andersson.They have great cotton pajamas. Google them--you have at least one in Seattle at University Village and an outlet store in Woodinville (but I'd call first for size/styles).

We love their pjs and they last forever.

What is that Old Navy lady thinking? How weird. We have found cotton pj's at Costco, Children's Place, Gymboree, Crazy 8's and the Hanna Anderson outlet. Some of the dept. stores only seem to carry the polyester kind.

Check K-Mart, I always find cotton pj's there. I usually find nightgowns and/or pants/shorts. The Joe Boxer brand usually has cotton and they fit well. You can also try Sears or JC Penney’s.

We love the pajamas we get online from Hanna Andersson's.
Their cotton is the softest I have ever found - they wash up great and last a long time.
When you have more time, check out their web site.

Childrens Place!

For what it's worth, Target, Old Navy, Walmart and JC Penney near me only have polyester pajamas. Costco and Sams Club have adorable toddler PJs but only polyester ones for older kids.

So Childrens Place is my go-to for cotton. The PJs are cute, we just picked up some ones this weekend with aliens on them, another pair with dinosaurs, a pink pair with leopard print pants, and a blue pair with cupcakes on the top.

I get DS's at Old Navy - size 10. They have both the tight clingy type and the pants with long sleeve t style. And that's at both ON's by me. I'd ask to talk to a manager. Also check out Children's Place, Pennys, Sears, or Wal Mart, Kmart... call around first before running around.

I hear you about not sleeping in sweat pants - WAY too warm. Not healthy. And they don't breathe! I'd rather go boxer shorts/tshirt before I went sweat pants. The reason so many PJ's are poly are because of old flame retardent regulations. But I once saw an example of what happens when flame retardent materials meet flame... they MELT, right on the skin. OMG. HORRIBLE.

Cotton is hard to find. My friend's daughter wears only 100% cotton due to eczema problems and she gets hers at Gymboree.

She's a very small first grader, so they should have ones to fit your daughter.

That's too bad about Walmart not being close. Ours had rack after rack.

If they say all the kids wear sweats and there aren't any then he's going to feel very uncomfortable in PJ's instead of sweats. I'd let him dress like the other kids. If there was a Walmart in your town I would expect a bunch of them to be wearing them. But since they all shop where you shop that's what they'll be buying.
