What is polyethelyne (polythene) and does it release chemicals?
BabeSafe mattress covers are manufactured using high grade polyethylene (polythene) sheeting. The polythene is gas-impermeable. It is a chemically inert plastic, and cannot result in any toxic gas generation. Accordingly, the BabeSafe mattress cover, once it has been sealed around the baby’s mattress, prevents exposure of the baby to any gas/es generated in the mattress, and in addition is itself not capable of toxic gas generation.
