Frequently Asked Questions:
HOW LONG CAN I USE THE SLEEP TIGHT BABY BED
The product has been designed for use up until 8 months old or until baby can sit unaided, whichever is first. Like all Cribs and Moses baskets, the product should NOT be used overnight or unsupervised when a child can sit unaided.
WHAT MAKES THE SLEEP TIGHT BABY BED SAFE FOR OVERNIGHT SLEEP?
The Purflo Sleep Tight Bed can be used overnight unsupervised as the materials and construction have been engineered to comply with other relevant overnight sleeping products for babies. The product, whilst using a traditional ‘nest’ shape, uses entirely different materials and has a unique, designed registered construction. The side walls of the product are made from a sustainable material which is more structured and solid than traditional nests specifically to address concerns of the suffocation and over heating when a baby is unattended. Additionally, the product bed has been designed using safe sleep guidelines including a firm flat, waterproof base.
WHAT TESTS HAS IT PASSED AND WHO ACCREDITS THEM?
The Sleep Tight Baby Bed design was created using the most up to date and relevant safe sleep guidelines. As with any new Purflo baby product, advice was sought from two independent UKAS accredited test houses to determine the most appropriate testing. The product has undergone a comprehensive risk assessment and extensive, exhaustive safety testing relevant to marketing it as suitable for overnight use. Specific British and European safety standard testing includes breathability, flammability, and unlike many of the nests and positioners in the market, due to its unique structure, our baby bed also passes rigidity, retention of side walls and roll tests.
WHAT DOES 'UKAS' STAND FOR?
The United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) is the sole national accreditation body recognised by the British government to assess the competence of organisations that provide certification, testing, inspection and calibration services.
I HAVE BEEN TOLD NESTS AND POSITIONERS ARE NOT SAFE?
Nests are not recommended for unsupervised use. The Sleep Tight Bed is not a nest or sleep positioner.
WHY WOULD I USE A SLEEP TIGHT BABY BED?
The Sleep Tight Baby bed is designed to create a safe, reduced sleeping area for baby which can help baby feel secure and settled.
IS THE SLEEP TIGHT BED A BUMPER?
The Sleep Tight Bed is a fully enclosed bed. Bumpers are typically fabric panels designed to be attached to the inside of a crib and/or cot to prevent babies from bumping into the often wooden or hard surface.
