About the Sleep Tight Baby Bed...
Labelled as a "game changer" by The Independent, this Sleep Tight Baby Bed is the result of Purflo's 20 years of experience in breathable technology. The very first baby bed of its kind to be certified as safe for independent, overnight sleep (yes really!).
It was developed by a leading team of industry experts with over 50 years of technical and design experience combined. Seeking to provide a product that could be used in a wide range of places at home and away, the team worked closely with test houses, parents and safe sleep experts. Additionally, the Sleep Tight Baby Bed benefits from being made from a sustainable, plant-based filling so it is kinder to the environment too. Using Safe Sleep guidelines, the Sleep Tight Baby Bed addresses and overcomes safety concerns raised by similar products.
The bed provides the perfect environment for a baby to sleep as it recreates the feeling of being cuddled so soothes baby as well as helping them rest for longer. It is extremely lightweight and portable making it easy to transport. Babies love routine and familiar environments which is particularly important at sleep times.
The bed features a fully breathable mesh base and sides that allow air to safely circulate, so baby can breathe easily and stay at a safe temperature all night. The raised sides have just a little bit of squidge - they are firm enough to prevent a little face pushing into them, but cosy enough to give baby sensory feedback and a feeling of being held, helping them to sleep for longer. The super safe sides are made using a sustainably sourced fibre, Dupont™ Sorona® that is made from 37% plant-based ingredients and is Oeko-Tex® 100 Class 1 Certified.
With safer sleep guidelines in mind, the Sleep Tight Baby Bed has been designed with a firm, flat mattress suitable from birth. It’s also fully washable, portable, and comes with a handy travel bag so that you can support your baby’s sleep routine wherever you go. The Sleep Tight Baby Bed is an essential for any tired new parent, night or day, home or away…it is the ultimate must have!
Read on to understand the science behind the Sleep Tight Baby Bed (and why it received the MyMama Loves seal of approval!)...

IS THE SLEEP TIGHT BABY BED SAFE FOR OVERNIGHT SLEEP?
Yes! The Sleep Tight Baby Bed 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 Sleep Tight Baby Bed meets and surpasses the following safety standards. BSEN 1466 – Tested to relevant aspects of the carrycot standard that enable its safe use overnight including;
- Rigidity of side walls – PASS due to structured side walls preventing suffocation hazard and overheating
- Retention of side walls/ roll test – PASS conclusive that infant will remain safely inside the product and could not roll out
- BS4578:1970 - Airflow safety test - PASS due to the clever foam inside the side walls
- BS5852 - Flammability and chemical test - PASS due to the materials used which have naturally low flammability and are safe for sensitive baby skin
The product has undergone a comprehensive risk assessment and extensive, exhaustive safety testing relevant to marketing it as suitable for overnight use. There are no other existing safety tests relevant to a product of this type.

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 overheating when a baby is unattended. Additionally, the product bed has been designed using safe sleep guidelines including a firm flat, waterproof base (please keep the base inserted during use).

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 due to their soft pillowy structure which can present risks of suffocation and overheating. The Sleep Tight Bed is not a nest or sleep positioner, it is an alternative to a traditional mattress and a complete sleep space. It has a firm, flat mattress with a rigid base, and soft-touch sides made of firm, breathable foam. Like a moses basket, it gives baby a smaller, cosier space to sleep in, but is made of technologically advanced materials that eliminate the risks posed by pillowy nests.
-
WHY WOULD I USE PURFLO'S 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. 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.
-
HOW LONG CAN I USE THE SLEEP TIGHT BABY BED?
The product has been designed for use up until 8 months old. Like all Cribs and Moses baskets, once a child can sit unaided, the product should NOT be used overnight or unsupervised.
-
WHERE CAN I USE THE SLEEP TIGHT BABY BED?
The Sleep Tight Baby Bed can be used unsupervised in most bedside cribs and cots and on safe surfaces until baby can sit up unaided. Once your little one can sit up unaided, supervision whilst using the baby bed is required. The Sleep Tight Baby Bed does not fit into Moses baskets/ bassinets but does fit in cots and bedside cribs.
