Infant Crib Safety Mattress

Abstract

An infant crib safety mattress is disclosed comprising a mattress body having a sleeping area defined by a largely flat surface, the sleeping area bounded by an upsloping border region that is angled upwards at a defined angle to prevent a child from wedging against or entangling with the crib rails, while also eliminating the need for crib bumper pads. The transition between the sleeping area and the sloping border is an upward angle less than perpendicular, eliminating any sharp transitions or locations where an infant may become wedged. The internal structure of the mattress includes a uniform filler material or a coil-spring system, as desired by the user.

I claim: 
     
         1 ) An infant crib safety mattress, comprising:
 a mattress body having a largely flat sleeping area, an upsloping border region bounding said sleeping area, a first and second mattress end, a first and second mattress side, a mattress underside surface, and an internal mattress structure;   said border extending angularly upward from said sleeping area at an intersection defined by said sleeping area boundary;   said angle between said flat sleeping area and said upsloping border at said intersection being less than perpendicular to prevent an infant from wedging into said intersection and preventing said infant from resting against crib rails;   said internal mattress structure adapted to support an individual on said sleeping area.   
     
     
         2 ) The device of  claim 1 , wherein said internal mattress structure further comprises a uniform filler material. 
     
     
         3 ) The device of  claim 1 , wherein said internal mattress structure further comprises a combination coil spring structure and filler material, said coil spring structure below said sleeping area for supporting said individual, while said filler material filling said border region.
