When our babies are sleeping, we need to know that they are comfortable, that they are not too hot or too cold and that they are safe. Only then will we, as parents, have peace of mind so that we can relax and rest too!
When choosing a mattress and bedding for my children, I looked for ones that allowed plenty of airflow, so that my little ones were kept cool and the mattress could breathe. The problem I had was that whilst the bedding let the air through, it also let natural moisture through, so the mattress began to smell stale. Yet if I chose to put a waterproof protector on to protect the mattress, it stopped the circulation of air!
Belgian company AeroSleep have addressed this very issue - they've introduced a brilliant concept of a three-layered mattress topper that is 95% space! It's hygienic, totally breathable, reduces risk of overheating and protects the mattress from moisture too.
- The first layer is a honeycomb structure that ensures total air circulation and optimum ventilation.
- The second layer is a moisture absorbent intermediate layer that takes natural moisture away from your baby, so that they have a dry, fresh sleeping environment.
- The final layer is an impenetrable watertight protective film that traps the bacteria away from your baby and prevents moisture from penetrating the mattress. It also prevents contact of your baby with allergens such as dust, pollen and house dust mite from the mattress.

You can wash the mattress protector at 60°c to get rid of the bacteria, without damaging the 3-layer structure. It also means that your baby's mattress does not need to be treated with chemicals to protect against allergens and bacteria.
To make the most of the AeroSleep concept, it is worth getting the fitted sheets too. They are made from a type of polyester that allows an extremely open weave without compromising on the softness of the fabric. This open weave enhances the airflow around your baby, ensuring that they don't get too hot and that they are breathing fresh air rather than re-circulated carbon dioxide.

The system gives further peace of mind if your baby wriggles while they sleep. You should always put your baby down to sleep on their back, but if they do roll onto their tummy while they are sleeping, the AeroSleep system means that they can still breathe freely.
The really useful thing about this system is that it's transportable! If you're going on holiday, you don't need to worry about what mattress your baby sleeps on because you can take the topper and sheet with you. A safe, hygienic sleep wherever you are, and your baby will be reassured by the familiar smell and feel of the topper.
It's also perfect for co-sleeping - if your baby sleeps with you, put the mattress protector beneath them so that they are resting in a cool, fresh, breathable environment.
