Why Is It Safer?
It is obvious by looking at BreathableBaby’s mesh crib liner that air passes right through it. What is not obvious is that you cannot form an air tight seal when the fabric is compressed, even if the fabric is placed on a non-breathable surface like a crib mattress! We call this SPT Suffocation Prevention Technology.
When the tiny fibers that make up the middle portion of our 3-D mesh fabric are compressed they will not line up perfectly flush and this allows air to circulate all around them. This is what makes BreathableBaby’s Mesh Crib Liner safer than a bumper.
BreathableBaby has hired outside testing companies to substantiate all of our product claims:
- Reduces the Risk of Suffocation
- Reduces the Risk of Rebreathing Carbon Dioxide
- Promotes Airflow
