Safety and Testing

The Breathe Easy Baby™ crib mattress has undergone more voluntary testing than any other mattress in the baby mattress industry. The reason for this is twofold, first to prove the numerous health and safety benefits of our highly breathable mattresses are verified scientifically. And secondly to reassure parents that our Breathe Easy Baby™ mattress does in fact provide babies with the healthiest and safest crib mattress available.

Highly Breathable

Our breathable mattress ensures fresh air flows through, reducing CO₂ rebreathing and making it easier for babies to breathe—even if they roll over. Proper airflow can help prevent SIDS and save lives.

No Harmful Chemical Additives

Our sleep surfaces are made from medical-grade polyester spacer fabric, our mattress meets flammability standards without toxic chemicals. Many traditional mattresses contain undisclosed chemicals—we don’t.

Testing Data

The results of the C02 retention and rate of dispersal over time are shown in this graph. Based on these results C02 dissipates 10 times faster compared to a firm mattress, a known low hazard. The test report concludes that the Breathe Easy Baby™ mattress presents a significantly lower hazard level than the firm crib mattress.

Line graph titled CO₂ Rebreathing Assessment Breathe Easy Baby Crib Mattress shows four mattress types, with CO₂ levels decreasing over 600 seconds. The Breathe Easy Baby safe sleep mattress has the lowest and fastest drop.

In addition to the C02 test above the Breathe Easy Baby™ mattress has been scientifically tested for the following by Mike Leshner, P.E. of Leshner and Associates, a board-certified member of NAFE, National Academy of Forensic Engineers.

  • C02 Rebreathing
  • Airflow Resistance
  • Body Temperature
  • Firmness
  • Surface Pressure

The results of these tests back up our claims that the Breathe Easy Baby™ highly breathable mattress provides your baby with the overall safest, healthiest and easiest to use crib mattress available.

Bar graph comparing CO₂ rebreathing for normal breathing, Breathe Easy Baby mattress, Newton, and an average of 8 mattresses. Breathe Easy Baby displays the lowest CO₂ rate, well below the Australian safety threshold.
Line graph comparing CO2 dissipation (% CO2 over time in seconds) for BEB and Firm Mattress. BEB shows faster CO2 decrease, with BEB’s yellow curve dropping sharply versus Firm Mattress’s slower gray decline.
Bar graph comparing body temperature on two mattresses: BEB (101.65°F) and Firm Mattress (104.63°F). Text explains BEBs breathable surface keeps a babys core temperature about 3°F lower than a firm mattress.
Bar graph comparing surface pressure on BEB and firm mattresses. BEB shows 5.5 in H2O, firm mattress 9.0 in H2O. Text explains BEBs softer surface reduces risk of plagiocephaly and offers a breathable, safe sleep surface.
Bar graph comparing airflow resistance in H2O at 2 LPM between BEB (0.19) and a firm mattress (0.897), showing BEB has lower resistance. Text notes lower resistance helps ensure babies receive fresh air.
