Like everything reasonable precautions can limit your exposure, just think of all the other PVC items you might have ?
Out-gassing is a process whereby the chemicals used in the production of PVC are released over time (i.e the smell of a new car, the VOC's), if you have an old PVC air bed it's likely all out of gas... (i.e its fully out-gassed), new airbeds should be aired ideally for a month or more to allow the out-gassing to occur.
Don't sleep directly onto the PVC surface, a fitted sheet or matress topper, then you in your sleeping bag, this detaches you from the surface.
Now lets look at Polyester, whilst not on the same scale as PVC constantly releases toxins during its lifetime, so make sure those sheets and sleeping bags are 100% cotton.
Its all about risk, and the value you place on it.
