Is Hugging Mattress as safe as an ordinary flat bed?
Actually it is much safer and also relieves parent stress in an unexpected way. Infants about 3 to 4 months start to roll and creep creating great stress to parents that they will fall off the bed. The inventor’s two infants loved to snuggle in the hole, leaving parents free to do bedroom chores or watch TV or read without constant attention. Although it is practically equal to a car seat or high chair, infants should never be left unattended. Babies may occasionally fall head down but suffocation is prevented by open cell foam around the holes which freely passes oxygen. HUGGING MATTRESS, by one estimate, could prevent 2800 serious injuries and perhaps 5 times that number requiring a trip to the doctor each year, not to mention parent stress.
