Asthma & Allergies are a growing problem in young children in the US & Europe
There is a 1 in 5 chance a child will suffer from asthma & allergies. Dust mites, pollen, & dander in a child's sleep environment contribute to these diseases.
Why the Pure Zees Baby Mattress?
Why the Pure Zees baby Mattress? Our baby mattress is the world's first ever to be certified asthma & allergy friendly® by the Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America. We always believed the baby cot mattress needed to be improved upon. Pure Zees wanted to be different and be in the position to say truthfully that all our claims are proven and true, and even better still, by one of the world’s leading advocacy organizations in the world.
Pure Zees Granted Patent for Baby Mattress Design
In May 2020 during the earth shattering covid19 pandemic we at least received some good news to help buoy up our optimism for our business going forward. Our Pure Zees baby mattress was granted its intellectual property patent. Our method of taking on the dust mite and its love of mattress dwelling without using chemicals was recognised as unique and worthy of being deemed patentable.
When it comes to baby mattresses, choose carefully

Green Washing - not being completely honest with the consumer
A survey in the USA indicated that 92% of baby mattresses were found to contain chemicals of concern or allergens. So this is not something that you are likely to get away with, if you take a chance. And ‘greenwashing’, where companies offer some “green” components but do not take meaningful steps to ensure products are free of toxic chemicals is running at a rate of 20%, according to the same study.
The story about reusing a baby mattress
If you go onto parenting forums and pose the question whether or not reusing a baby mattress you have used for a previous child is safe, you may find it confusing. You will find a mixture of people who say they did it and they had no problems and those who say it is not advised because it has been shown to be a factor in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
