The PurFlo Sleepsystem has been developed after extensive clinical studies, with the intention of dramatically cutting down babies' exposure to allergens, while also providing a defence against the 'identified risks of SIDS' (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). The Purflo mattress, which comes in two sizes to fit a cot (mattress size 120 x 60cm) and a cot bed (mattress size 139 x 69cm), is designed to be 'fully breathable' and the 'Sleepsurface' covering allows the air to circulate around the child. This helps to prevent the 'rebreathing' of exhaled carbon dioxide. The covering is removable and can be machine washed, and the mattress contains no foam as this can aggravate asthma as well as being environmentally unfriendly.
