Why the Numu Mattress is breathable?

A breathable mattress is one that allows for better air circulation so that the carbon dioxide exhaled by the baby during breathing is quickly dispersed. In this way, they increase available oxygen levels.

The Numu mattress, including the breathable sheet, allows the best level of air circulation among all breathable mattresses, due to its innovative design, making it one of the safest sleeping environments for children. We like to say that it's not the mattress that breathes. With Numu - your baby is breathing. Numu represents an evolution in terms of mattresses. It is a step ahead of old mattresses, foam or spring mattresses.

What is the difference between the Numu Mattress and other "breathable" mattresses currently on the market?

In a survey conducted on several "breathable" mattresses, Numu was considered the only mattress capable of maintaining a carbon dioxide clearance level below 1.2%, which is the maximum environmental level recommended by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH - National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, Israel). ) The superior air circulation of the Numu mattress and its exclusive design also prevent overheating, accumulation of liquids and other fluids, facilitating its cleaning.

The Numu Mattress is safe for my child?

Yes. Numu is made of a unique permeable fabric/net, stretched over a sturdy frame. The unique quality of this fabric allows comfort, strength and durability combined with free air circulation, temperature regulation and fluid passage through it. In a study conducted at Jerusalem's Hadassah Medical Center, the new mattress was found to have superior properties with respect to air passage and accumulation and dissipation of carbon dioxide compared to known values of regularly used mattresses and bedding materials. This characteristic is important for babies during the first year of life and especially in situations where breathing is possible only through the mattress, such as in prone sleep or when the face is covered by a blanket or pillow. All liquids, including water, regurgitated food, vomit or urine, enter the mattress.

In infants with gastroesophageal reflux (aka reflux) or during periods of respiratory illness, regurgitated food and mucus penetrate the mattress surface, thus preventing secondary aspiration. The mattress has been tested and approved by the Israel Institute of Standards in the following areas: puncture, tear and fire resistance, and toxic material testing.

Numu Mattress is hypoallergenic?

Yea! Numu mattress does not allow the accumulation of allergens. Allergens are commonly found in our homes and include: animal dandruff, chemicals (anti-retardants often used in common mattresses) or house dust mites (HDM) found in dust samples from mattress surfaces, clothing from bed, upholstered furniture (eg sofas) and carpets. HDM are known allergic triggers that correlate with allergic diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis. HDM does not survive on the surface of Numu mattresses, while in standard mattresses, HDM not only survives, it also reproduces and proliferates.

In Australia, Numu has been identified and approved by The National Asthma Council of Australia as a Sensitive Choice product, meaning a recommended option for children with allergies or asthma.

What distinguishes the Numu Mattress from other anti-allergic mattresses?

House Dust Mites (HDM) are microscopic creatures whose ideal growth requires high humidity, moderate temperature and an adequate food source, especially human skin. The greatest number of mites is usually found in dust samples taken from uncovered surfaces of mattresses, bedding, upholstered furniture (eg sofas) and carpets. The correlation between exposure to the mite and the development of allergic diseases, such as asthma and allergic rhinitis, has been documented in many studies.

In a study conducted at the Hadassah Hospital Medical School, the survival of HDM on the new surface (Numu mattress) was compared to survival on standard mattresses. HDM could not survive on this new surface, while mites not only survived but also reproduced and proliferated on standard mattresses. In order to obtain the same levels of cleanliness, methods such as frequent vacuuming and cleaning of standard mattresses and sheets, as well as the use of barrier methods to prevent the inhalation of dust mite allergens.

What type of bed/crib is recommended for the Numu Mattress?

The Numu Mattress fits on any rectangular bed (rail bed or crib). We love this type of question, as we believe that the mattress should be the main responsible for the purchase of the bed and crib (the baby will spend about 60% of their time on the mattress and not on the bed or crib! Beds or cribs are in beds). largely an aesthetic decision, whereas the mattress has a direct impact on the baby's safety).

What is the difference between the Numu Mattress and spring or foam mattresses?

Completely different, it's a new way of thinking about mattresses - for a long time we had spring and foam mattresses - now we have Numu. Some important advantages and points of difference can be seen in this table:

The Numu Mattress will be strong enough?

The mesh surface is stretched over the frame, creating high tension, giving the mattress unique orthopedic qualities and can support up to 400 kg without tearing.

Tension is maintained for a long period of time and is recommended for babies weighing up to 25 kg, whether they are lying down, standing or jumping!

What happens if you tear some of the Mattress fabric?

The screen/net is designed not to break, even though it weighs 100 kg. If an accidental breakage occurs, please contact us to hello@numubaby.com

My child will feel cold on the Numu Mattress?

No! Normal mattresses are insulated and warm the baby's body underneath. With Numu, the temperature that the baby feels below will be the same as above (the air in the room). As long as your baby is properly dressed and the room is kept at the recommended temperature (approximately 20 - 22 C), he will not feel cold and will also feel much better on hot summer nights.o.

Numu prevents Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)?

Numu reduces SIDS risk factors like no other mattress. What makes it a safer mattress for your baby.

Nowadays, no one knows exactly what the direct causes are linked to SIDS, although the risk factors have been identified. Chief among them are overheating, accumulation of CO2, lack of air circulation and accumulation of house mites.

Numu is designed to reduce these risk factors. Scientific and clinical research was carried out to support these claims. No other mattress prevents overheating, CO2 accumulation and the presence of mites like Numu does, and no other mattress allows air circulation like Numu.

The approval of Numu by the National Asthma Council of Australia is based on these Numu studies.

The number one recommendation for safe sleep to decrease SIDS factors is to put the baby on her back. Many parents are worried when babies start to roll over and turn onto their stomachs. With Numu, you can be sure that even facing the mattress, your baby should be able to breathe freely (try it yourself).

I can use regular sheets with the Numu Mattress?

To get the maximum benefit from the mattress, we recommend using our special perforated cotton sheets.

When and how often should I clean the Numu Mattress?

The Numu Mattress must be cleaned as often as necessary. The mattress will need cleaning whenever the baby has an "accident" while sleeping. All you will need is to wipe the area with a damp cloth or wash the mattress with a shower or garden hose for a more thorough and thorough cleaning. The mattress will air dry very quickly, but a hair dryer can be used when needed. When cleaned, Numu will remain as good as new even after years of use.

There is a danger for the child to hit the central bar of the Numu Mattress structure?

We were recently asked about the central bar that is in the middle of the mattress of the larger beds (visible in the GIF below) - if there is a risk of a child hitting their head on the bar. We would like to clarify that there is no way for a child (under 25 kg) to hit the bar with his head. The net is designed to withstand tear-free up to 400 kg and is orthopedic up to 25 kg. A child (under 25kg) does not run the risk of hurting himself or herself in any part of the body through the middle bar.

What concerns should I have with the marks of the hammock left by the Numu Mattress on my son's face?

We recently received questions about the crisscross pattern marks that can appear on babies' faces after a night's sleep on our Numu mattress. We like to call these marks - a kiss from Numu - as they are sleep marks, not unlike what most of us get when we wake up with marks from our blanket, pillow or mattress. The difference is that it's a different pattern, as Numu has a different surface. The marks are normal and will occur when the baby sleeps on his stomach or on his side (these are exactly the scenarios where you want a Numu), they will disappear in 20 to 30 minutes. These marks are a sign that the baby has gotten a good night's sleep...
