Reduce Baby's Risk of SIDS and Suffocation with New Breathable Crib Mattress
Heaven Sent Breathable Crib Mattress by Secure Beginnings helps reduce baby's risk of suffocation and SIDS due to its passive airflow design and breathable fabric. It creates a heat stable sleeping environment and keeps exhaled air away from baby.
Online, November 2, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Each year in the United States, over 2,300 babies are victims of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS. The rates of SIDS has declined by half since 1994, as a result of the "Back to Sleep" campaign, but SIDS deaths have not decreased any further in the past decade. Research is ongoing, but scientists do not have a definite solution to the mystery of SIDS.
Earlier this year, researchers at Harvard Medical School found a link between SIDS and low levels of serotonin in the affected babies. Serotonin is the chemical that helps the brainstem regulate breathing, sleeping, waking, and temperature. The popular theory that SIDS may be caused by infants overheating and re-breathing their exhaled air may be related to infants' low serotonin level.
The researchers argued that when babies are placed face down, their exhaled carbon dioxide may pool in loose bedding. In most babies, they will wake up automatically when they sense these high carbon dioxide levels. Unfortunately, in SIDS babies, who have low serotonin levels, they never wake up. The increase of carbon dioxide depletes their oxygen levels, and this leads to death.
"As an obstetrician, it's heartbreaking to hear that one of the babies I've delivered has passed away. There has to be a better way to protect these vulnerable infants," says Dr. James Brann, MD, retired OB/GYN and owner of Maternity and Baby Shopping Mart. "That's why I'm thrilled to announce that we have a safer way for babies to sleep. The Heaven Sent Breathable Crib Mattress by Secure Beginnings is truly revolutionary and may even save babies' lives."
The Heaven Sent Breathable Crib Mattress by Secure Beginnings is a revolutionary air permeable crib mattress for babies, unlike any other crib mattress on the market today. At the heart of this breathable crib mattress for babies is its "open weave" knitted spacer fabric and passive airflow system, which offers a constant flow of air above and below the sleep surface, giving baby a more comfortable, safe and uninterrupted sleep.
When baby sleeps on this revolutionary breathable crib mattress, he or she lays on a firm surface that's suspended over a bed of air. The passive airflow design allows air and gases to easily circulate up and down through the breathable fabric, out of the sides of the mattress frame, and away from your baby. This greatly decreases your infant's risk of re-breathing or suffocating on carbon dioxide.
In contrast to other crib mattresses, the Heaven Sent Breathable Crib Mattress does not contain any vinyl or foam that can trap excess heat next to the baby. As a result, this breathable crib mattress creates a heat stable environment that gives your baby safer sleep.
Another key feature in this crib mattress is that it is PVC-free, 100 percent toxin-free and contains no fire retardant chemicals. Fire retardant chemicals, which are present in conventional crib mattresses, have been linked to causing cancer. All of the features of the Heaven Sent Breathable Crib Mattress will peace of mind that your infant won't be breathing in any unhealthy toxins or chemicals as he or she sleeps.
Parents who invest in this breathable crib mattress from Secure Beginnings also won't have to worry about their babies growing an uneven or flat head. This unique crib mattress is designed to reduce tension on the back of your baby's head, which may prevent "flat head syndrome."
The Heaven Sent Breathable Crib Mattress is machine washable, which helps reduce the buildup of bacteria, mold, and microorganisms are common to traditional crib mattresses. (Studies have found that the bacteria that live on the surface of conventional crib mattresses can release toxins that are harmful to your infant's health.)
"This breathable crib mattress is a must-have for any nursery. Your baby is the most precious gift in your life, so protect your little one and give him or her a safer way to sleep," says Dr. Brann. "You can't afford not to, since you never know when SIDS may strike your family."
