Help Prevent SIDS with Heaven Sent Breathable Crib Mattress
Every year in the United States, more than 2,000 seemingly healthy infants die from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), leaving their parents devastated and trying to find closure with few answers. Though SIDS is the leading cause of infant death in babies under one year old, researchers do not have an answer to why SIDS occurs, only theories of its cause.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, most researchers now believe that babies who die of SIDS are born with one or more conditions that make them vulnerable to internal and external stressors. Scientists theorize that some babies who are at risk for SIDS may have defects in the areas of their nervous system that control breathing and heart rate. In addition, the brainstem of SIDS infants may mature slower than other babies. Studies have shown that the development of myelin (the fatty substance that facilitates nerve signal transmission) is delayed in SIDS infants. All of these vulnerabilities, paired with environmental factors (such as overheating and babies sleeping on their stomach), may be the cause of SIDS.
Because SIDS infants appear to be normal and healthy, there is no way you can tell whether your baby is at risk or not. However, there are certain precautionary measures that you can do to reduce your baby's risk of SIDS.
One of the most important things you can do to protect your baby is to allow him to sleep on his back on a firm mattress. Babies who sleep on their stomachs are at increased risk of dying from SIDS. In fact, ever since the American Academy of Pediatrics launched their "Back to Sleep" campaign (which encouraged parents to place their babies on their backs to sleep), the overall SIDS rate has declined by over 50 percent.
When a baby sleeps on his stomach, he's at increased risk of overheating, having difficulty breathing, and "re-breathing" the air he's just inhaled (which can raise his carbon dioxide level and lowers his oxygen level). Eventually, the lack of oxygen can lead to SIDS.
In addition to placing your baby to sleep on his back, you can further protect your baby and give him safer sleep by investing in the Heaven Sent Breathable Baby Crib Mattress from Secure Beginnings - a revolutionary air-permeable crib mattress that may help prevent sudden infant death syndrome.
Why Every Parent Needs the Heaven Sent Breathable Crib Mattress by Secure Beginnings
Unlike traditional crib mattresses - which are foam or cotton filled and may put your baby at risk for suffocation and re-breathing exhaled carbon dioxide if he accidently rolls on his stomach - the Heaven Sent Breathable Baby Crib Mattress is constructed with an "open weave" knitted spacer fabric and a passive airflow design, which greatly decreased the possibility of your baby suffocating and re-breathing exhaled air.
The revolutionary design of the Heaven Sent Breathable Baby Crib Mattress is unlike any other mattress out there. The air permeable sleep surface and passive airflow system of this innovative crib mattress allows air to pass through the openings on the sides of the mattress frame, then up and down through the "open weave" knitted spacer fabric of the breathable mattress itself.
As a result, your baby sleeps on a breathable spacer fabric that's suspended over a bed of air. The cutting-edge design allows gases and liquids to pass through the breathable mattress without accumulating on the surface of the crib mattress. This decreases your baby's risk of being suffocated or smothered by accumulated toxic gases (such as carbon dioxide).
Another reason why you should invest in this avant-garde baby crib mattress is its ability to help stabilize your baby's body temperature. Unlike traditional or organic crib mattresses, the Heaven Sent Breathable Baby Crib Mattress by Secure Beginnings does contain any fillers or the vinyl surface common to regular baby mattresses. The "open weave" knitted spacer fabric reduces the build-up of excessive heat next to your baby. Thus you will create a heat stable environment that is more comfortable and safer for your baby. (Overheating and an elevated body temperature are risk factors for SIDS).
Other Health Benefits of the Heaven Sent Breathable Baby Crib Mattress
For first-time parents, SIDS is probably your primary concern. Since SIDS can strike at any moment, you want to protect your little one at all costs. Buying the Heaven Sent Baby Crib Mattress by Secure Beginnings is one of the best things you can do to protect your child's life.
In addition to helping prevent SIDS, the Heaven Sent Baby Crib Mattress also has other health benefits. One major benefit of this innovative baby mattress is that it's completely machine washable and hypoallergenic. If you have allergies or asthma in the family, you should definitely consider investing in this remarkable product.
The Heaven Sent Baby Crib Mattress by Secure Beginnings is the only crib mattress on the market with a removable sleep surface that can be machine-washed to kill any bacteria and dust mites that cause allergies. Unlike regular crib mattresses, this one-of-a-kind crib mattress doesn't contain filler material, so there's no risk of mold or microorganisms building up and causing your child harm. (Studies have shown that elevated microorganism levels, like those found in traditional crib mattresses, can be harmful to your infant's developing respiratory system and can lead to the development of asthma and autism in your child).
In addition, traditional baby crib mattresses are treated with harmful fire retardant chemicals, such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) - which have been linked to learning disabilities and cancers in humans. Because your baby is more vulnerable to toxic chemicals, due to the fact that his immune system is still developing, you will want to avoid buying any crib mattress that is treated with PBDEs. Fortunately, the Heaven Sent Baby Crib Mattress is PBDE-free and contains no harmful chemicals.
When you consider the fact that a baby spends at least 14 hours a day sleeping and playing in his crib, you will want to ensure that your little bundle of joy's sleeping environment is as safe and healthy as possible.
If you're concerned about your baby getting flat head syndrome (plagiocephaly) as a result of how much time he spends sleeping on his back, you should leave those fears to rest. The Heaven Sent Breathable Baby Crib Mattress is designed to reduce pressure points placed on your baby's head.
Another perk of the Heaven Sent Breathable Crib Mattress is the porous nature of its sleep surface. Your baby will sleep on a drier surface, since any spilled liquids will pass through the "open weave" fabric and pool on the collection tray five inches belong the surface of the crib mattress. The collection tray can be disinfected with mild soap and water.
The Heaven Sent Breathable Crib Mattress by Secure Beginnings is designed to support the weight of a newborn baby up to a 60-pound child (the average weight of an eight-year-old). When considering its price, keep in mind that you'll be using this revolutionary mattress for many years - at least until your child is in elementary school.
Plus, you'll save money on traditional baby crib bedding sets with the Heaven Sent Breathable Crib Mattress. You might not even need to buy a baby crib bedding set. This revolutionary mattress fits all standard size cribs, and it is designed with an integrated crib bumper - which is large enough to prevent your baby's arms and legs from entrapment in the crib bars, but small enough to reduce your infants suffocation risk. No crib sheet or mattress protector is needed, since the breathable fabric allows baby to sleep comfortable and safely. The only item that you may want to purchase separately is a dust ruffle to place underneath this special crib mattress.
This breathable crib mattress is available in six stylish designs - each design is available with one of five different painted or stained finishes. Each mattress base is constructed with the highest quality maple wood. The Heaven Sent Breathable Crib Mattress is made in the U.S.A.
