How does AeroSleep work?
Thanks to a unique knitting process, AeroSleep is a mattress cover which consists for 95% of open space. You can compress the 3D structure between two fingers but not across a larger surface. This structure ensures that underneath the body there is a ventilation layer through which the air circulates freely. Nowhere does the body come into direct contact with the mattress. This reduces both particular possible risks of cot death and sweating during the night.
What is the difference between AeroSleep and an ordinary mattress protector?
A conventional mattress protector consists of an impermeable layer which often causes a sweaty and therefore uncomfortable feeling.
AeroSleep has created a layer of air on top of the impermeable layer. This layer of air ensures that the body does not come into contact with the impermeable absorption layer below. This means that you lie on air and not directly on the fabric. Because of this, skin irritations disappear like snow in the sun.
Moreover, during sleep surplus body heat is evacuated and fresh air is supplied from the ambient surroundings. In this way, body temperature can be kept under control and there will be no more perspiration. This way AeroSleep guarantees a well-ventilated sleeping climate without sweating.
Does AeroSleep fit any mattress?
AeroSleep Baby Original and AeroSleep Baby Protect can be manufactured in any size. AeroSleep Baby Mattress Elegance is available in all standard sizes: 75-95cm, 120-60cm, 140-70cm.
The AeroSleep products can easily be attached to the corners of the mattress with four elastic loops.
Does every mattress need AeroSleep?
Yes. Dirt and moisture penetrate deep into the core of every mattress. There it forms a breeding ground for bacteria which may pose a serious health hazard.
AeroSleep Protect offers excellent ventilation preventing moisture getting into the mattress. The moisture disappears completely through the 3D honeycomb structure and is blocked underneath by an absorption layer and an impenetrable protective film. Washing it at 60°C will annihilate all bacteria.
Can AeroSleep be used in combination with sensor mats (Angel Care and similar)?
Even though some manufacturers claim the opposite, AeroSleep can certainly be used with such sensor mats.
We have tested this in various ways and there was no evidence of anything hampering the functioning of either product. The air permeability of AeroSleep remained optimal and the sensor mats recorded breathing movements without any impediment.
We also want to stress that AeroSleep helps preventively to reduce particular risks of cot death. It considerably reduces the chance of suffocation, rebreathing expired air (CO2) and overheating. Furthermore, AeroSleep also helps to prevent allergies, skin irritations and fungus or bacteria occurring in the mattress and it can be used on any large or small mattress.
Can the AeroSleep system be used with an ordinary fitted sheet or does it only work with AeroSleep fitted sheets?
AeroSleep products work best with the right AeroSleep fitted sheets.
The AeroSleep Baby Fitted Sheet is an elastic fitted sheet made from breathing fabric specially developed for the AeroSleep system. The scientific tests of our technology were also carried out in combination with our fitted sheets.
The AeroSleep Baby Fitted Sheet guarantees maximum air permeability. It ensures that there is as little obstruction as possible of air circulation between the baby and our AeroSleep mattress cover. It offers your baby unrestricted breathing, a lovely softness and healthy sleep comfort.
The AeroSleep Baby Fitted Sheet is certainly recommended for babies up to the age of two. After that age, you may also use an ordinary jersey sheet or molton fitted sheets.
How should I wash my AeroSleep?
Always fold the AeroSleep with the 3D structure on the outside and preferably put it in the washing machine on its own. A washing programme for white laundry at 60°C is sufficient to make sure it comes out as good as new.

Can I put my AeroSleep in the dryer?
It's better not to put your AeroSleep products in the dryer. But the AeroSleep products dry very fast thanks to the maximum air circulation.
My AeroSleep is discoloured on the inside. What is it?
These discolorations are fluff that has remained stuck in the stitching seams.
You should know, first of all, that this is not harmful for your baby. The fluff is fixed and the effectiveness of your AeroSleep is not affected in any way.
In order to prevent this fluff or to remove it, we advise as follows:
- Always fold your AeroSleep with the honeycomb structure on the outside when washing at 60°C and put it in the washing machine like this. Preferably do not add any other laundry.
- Vacuum the AeroSleep. This will release most of the fluff which will then be vacuumed up.
Should I use an additional mattress protector together with AeroSleep?
It is absolutely unnecessary to use any other mattress protector if you have an AeroSleep Protect.
This product combines all the necessary features of a mattress protector: it protects the mattress against dampness, dirt, dust, pollen and dust mites and, moreover, it can easily be washed at 60°C.
Are there babies or adults who do not tolerate AeroSleep?
To date, no cases have been recorded of people who do not tolerate AeroSleep.
AeroSleep is hypoallergenic, has anti-allergic action and ensures a sound and comfortable sleeping environment.
Does AeroSleep provide a solution for people who sweat a lot?
Yes. The AeroSleep mattress cover consists of 95% open space. Your body lies on a layer of air and is nowhere in direct contact with the mattress. The air can circulate freely through the 3D structure. Surplus body heat is released and fresh air supplied from the surrounding environment. This ensures that excessive perspiration can evaporate easily and that your body temperature is better controlled in winter and summer.
Is AeroSleep also suitable for bedwetters?
Yes. AeroSleep Protect is perfectly suited for children who wet the bed. Through the open 3D structure of the upper layer, the urine flows directly to the deeper, absorbent intermediate layer. Because of its air permeability, the upper layer very quickly becomes dry and comfortable again. The impenetrable protective film underneath the AeroSleep keeps the mattress spotlessly clean. After a 60°C run in the washing machine, the AeroSleep Protect is perfectly clean again.
Can AeroSleep be used in combination with a hot water bottle?
An AeroSleep mattress protector can certainly be used in combination with a hot water bottle.
In fact, when you use a hot water bottle we strongly recommend AeroSleep.
Fortunately, it is very rare for water bottles to leak nowadays because the problem has received a great deal of attention in recent years. However, if it does happen, it is safer to be using an AeroSleep mattress protector. This is because the hot water goes directly through the upper layer of air (on which the child lies) down to the absorbent layer underneath where the water dissipates. This means that the child is never in direct contact with the water.
However, if a water bottle leaks on a mattress without AeroSleep, the mattress remains hot and damp for much longer so that the child remains in direct contact with hot water for longer.
Feel free to try this out by pouring a cup of hot water over the mattress and over the AeroSleep and then feel the difference.
And with AeroSleep you need to use a hot water bottle for a much shorter time as the baby's body does not need to warm up the whole mattress but only the layer of air.
