BabeSafe Mattress Covers

BabeSafe mattress covers are growing in popularity, and for good reason. For over 13 years of use, babies sleeping on mattresses wrapped in BabeSafe mattress covers have NOT ONCE died from crib death, also known as SIDS. This history and success of the covers helps prove the toxic gas theory for crib death, which states that toxic nerve gases are the cause of SIDS. You can read more about this theory at Prevent SIDS. You can also learn more by reading Dr. Sprott's book, The Cot Death Cover-up?

The BabeSafe mattress cover is made like a large pillow case that slips over your current crib mattress. You do not need to purchase a new crib or bassinet mattress to use the BabeSafe cover. Slip the cover over your mattress, and seal the open end with the tape that is attached. It's that simple! More details will come with your cover but you can always contact us if you have trouble.

Why a BabeSafe Mattress Cover?

• A small investment for your peace of mind
• Easy to slip onto your current crib, bassinet, or co-sleeper mattress
• Your baby can sleep on his/her tummy
• All orders are shipped within 24 hours, sometimes immediately. (Unless we are experiencing high demand, which may deplete stock for a few days).
• Not one baby has died while sleeping on a properly wrapped mattress (and following the proper bedding protocol)
• BabeSafe Mattress Covers are stocked in our central US location. (Please note the FREE or RUSH shipping options below).
• To determine the size cover you need, it is very important that you measure the girth. This measurement will determine the cover that best fits your mattress. The length can be adjusted as necessary. If you need a size that doesn't appear here, or you aren't sure which one would work the best for your situation, please contact us and we will help you! Covers are easily adjustable, so you would need the cover that's just bigger than your mattress in both length and girth.

How to Use Your BabeSafe Mattress Cover

	This is a picture of a wrapped mattress. It looks like any other mattress, but it will not be made like a typical mattress. This is what your mattress will look like before you add the underblanket and sheet.
	This picture shows a bath towel being used as an underblanket. It is the perfect size. You can also use flannel blankets, 100% cotton prefold diapers sewn together, or anything else that is ALL cotton. Do not use quilted fabrics of any kind, and do not use waterproof mattress pads (these are made from the same chemicals found toxic in mattresses). If you buy a "100% cotton mattress pad" and it has a waterproof layer, it is NOT 100% cotton. Do not use these under any circumstance. Over the underblanket, place your fitted sheet, preferably one that has stretch since they usually fit tighter. That helps to keep the towel in place.
	DO NOT USE YOUR MATTRESS WITH THE WRITING FACING UP!!! Do not use the following as bedding: Sheepskin or sheep fleece underlay Moisture-resistant crib mattress protector Any underblanket which is not made of pure cotton Acrylic blanket Any blanket which contains polyester Any bedding that is quilted, padded, or filled Sleeping bag Duvet Pillows or cushions

Cleaning the Mattress and Laundering Baby's Bedding

• Wipe with a damp cloth to clean the mattress if necessary. Use no cleaning agent- just water.

• Wash baby's bedding as it is soiled, or at least once weekly. For standard maintenance of dust mite prevention, wash in hot water.

• Wash baby's bedding daily if he is sick or has a runny nose.

• Use phosphorus free laundry soap or detergent.

• Do NOT use bleach to launder baby's clothes or bedding.

• Do NOT use fabric softener on baby's laundry.
