Sažetak
Construction and quality of the kids’ bedding-mattress has not been optimized yet i.e. adjusted to their users. This is evidenced by the data related to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) which the experts relate to poor construction of babies’ bedding-mattress and the fact that this complex and interdisciplinary area has not been fully elucidated. Majority of kids’ beddings-mattresses are the reduced versions of the beddings-mattresses for adults. This causes the biggest issues because various complications, such as gas poisoning (resulting from chemical processes involving the elements present in the bedding-mattress construction material), occur in the first months of infant’ s life. Levels of the gases blamed to cause cot death are too low to be harmful for adults, which is not the case with babies whose respiratory system is not fully developed. This does not mean that prolonged inhalation of hazardous gases generated from the poor quality bedding-mattress is not hazardous for the adults.
