Lifenest helps prevent cot death and helps keep your baby safe
The Lifenest mattress coversheet helps prevent SIDS by improving airflow and Breathability.
- Lifenest’s hammock design provides crucial airflow and breathability to a newborn’s sleeping area.
- Soft mesh technology allows babies to breathe easily through the netting if they roll over.
- Liquids and secretions pass right through the netting to help avoid any potentially dangerous airflow blockages.
- Venting channels quickly eliminate the CO2 a baby breathes out for better oxygenation.
- Breathable Lifenest fitted sheets* are specially designed to work with the Lifenest mattress topper
Life Nest Helps prevent flathead
- Lifenest’s unique woven cradle contours to the shape of a baby’s head to avoid damaging pressure.
- Lifenest’s contact surface with a baby’s head is larger than conventional mattresses, allowing a more even distribution of pressure.
- Pressure is redistributed away from soft spots.
46.7% of babies are affected by Flat Head Syndrome, according to a Canadian study.
Unlike firm mattresses, which can apply damaging pressure, the Lifenest mattress topper’s innovative hammock gently cradles a newborn’s malleable skull. On a Lifenest, the contact surface for a baby’s head is up to four times larger compared to a normal baby bed mattress and redistributes pressure away from soft spots. Lifenest helps relieve critical pressure on a baby’s head.
Lifenest is comfortable and promotes better sleep

- Naturally maintains babies in a comfortable back sleeping position.
- Promotes relaxation and better sleep by allowing unrestricted movements.
- Reduces overheating and sweating.
