Fossflakes BabySkies Mattress Topper

The Fossflakes BabySkies Mattress Topper has been developed by two well-respected Danish chiropractors, Peter and Karina Gyrst, in order to foster a natural infant motor development.

The ergonomic mattress topper is designed for infants naught to six months because babies often sleep on a mattress which is too hard and where hard surface makes it difficult for babies to move their neck.
The Gyrst clinic has seen many cases of neck stiffening and flat occiputs due to bad sleeping positions on hard surfaces.

The result is Fossflakes BabySkies Mattress Topper with seven dynamic flexible squares to support baby’s movements and help strengthen baby’s neck muscles.
This is one of the major factors for developing a strong back and the beginning of healthy motor development.

Size: 31 cm x 81 cm 

Place the Fossflakes BabySkies Mattress Topper on top of baby’s ordinary mattress or bring it along and use it on the sofa after breast-feeding, in the stroller or under the play mat on the floor.

When your baby is laying on its back – remember to turn the head gently from side to side. Parents should be particularly observant if their baby has a favorite side.

A Fossflakes BabySkies Mattress Topper can be placed on top of the baby’s ordinary mattress. It is softer and supports the baby’s head, neck and back. The child’s neck will have no sudden twists because it lies on a lovely soft surface, where the head can sink into the mattress.

We know – ‘unique’ is a word that is thrown around a lot! However, when it comes to the unique Fossflakes, we actually have a point.
Our patented loose fibre filling is of a quality and shape you won’t find anywhere else, which is why Fossflakes filling offers a unique combination of properties.

The filling is primarily made of polyethylene, a durable and breathable form of plastic with small pores in the surface that allow air to pass through.
That’s why it’s possible to stay cool under a duvet with Fossflakes filling. The filling of both our duvets and pillows consists of 70% patented Fossflakes flakes mixed with 30% polyester fibre balls.

The arch construction of the flakes doesn’t just help to ensure good air circulation – the design is also key to the Fossflakes cushions’ ability to provide stable and ergonomically correct support over time. This applies to both our regular pillows and our support pillows.
This is because the curved shape is incredibly stable, ensuring that the cushions retain their volume and firmness longer before collapsing – and if they do collapse, they can easily be shaken back into a plump and supportive shape.

MAINTENANCE

Maintaining the excellent properties of Fossflakes products is easy. Simply give your Fossflakes products a shake to maintain plumpness.

Washing instructions:

Machine wash at max. 60°C. Avoid using fabric softeners and detergents with enzymes when washing Fossflakes pillows and duvets, as they can impair the properties of the filling.

Drying instructions:

Your Fossflakes products can be air-dried or tumble dried on a low heat (e.g. a wool or silk programme). They cannot withstand high heat.
Remove products as soon as the machine’s drying cycle is complete. If you are unsure whether your machine can dry on low heat, let your pillow and duvet air-dry instead.
The filling is evenly distributed and will not clump even after frequent washing.
