Have you looked into whether it is dangerous to have a newborn infant sleeping on this matress? A cot/bed with a poor fitting mattress can cause death by the infant rolling into a gap/crevice and suffocating. (Infants don't have the strength to lift their head or crawl out.) For various reasons, it is also relatively common for parents to sleep with the baby in their bed (despite the risk of crushing). This mattress…

Seems like it solves the cuddling problems but creates a whole new how-to-have-sex problem, I can imagine a bunch of positions would be made rather awkward by this mattress.

Please, enlighten us.

When you try to put a hand/elbow/knee down on the mattress, there's a good chance you'll slip in to one of the slits in the mattress.

Really nice idea and all...I have just one doubt, why would someone want a t-shirt or hoodie with the logo of a mattres?

"Cuddle More" is a great idea for a t-shirt. Too bad the proposed design looks so industrial.

I'm mostly curious regarding how you put sheets on this bed and still use it for its intended purpose.

Very annoyed. I had this exact idea about 18 months ago, but didn't do anything with it. Just goes to show that success is really about hard work and commitment rather than just a great idea. Kudos to you. I hope it changes the world.

There are a lot of potential pitfalls with this, the first one I can think of being having sex. I wouldn't want to have slits in the mattress that my arms or legs could get caught in when having sex.

Get with the program, man, you can't have a startup without tshirts! They usually end up being 90% of the actual products shipped.

I think I may have just come up with their new slogan: "The seedless watermelon of mattresses".

Great idea. Some thoughts:

- like xkcd suggests, the only really important slit is for the arms.

- couldn't this be simulated by taking a regular mattress and simply cutting a slit in the right place?

- has anyone tried doing that?
