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.

Although the leverage you could get by digging your feet in would be crazy. Silk sheets feel nice but are wicked slippery.

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.

Or maybe a whole new sets of positions will be invented.

Good thinking!

I like how there's a new Kickstarter ripoff explicitly for projects that have no prototype and whose "founders" have no industry experience. Makes it easier to get in the right mindset for maximum enjoyment before clicking. Their price comparison chart also seems extremely misleading: I have a natural latex mattress and it was not $4000. It was $700.

The video does have a fully working prototype?

because all kickstarters are created by reputable people with legit "industry experience" who always produce. ...NOT!

Though this is not the worst indiegogo project I've seen, Kickstarter at least has a policy against overhyping a product that doesn't exist. (That's why we see so many of these projects on sites that do allow this overhyping now.)

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…

You should never have a newborn sleeping directly on a mattress next to you. Ever. Regardless of the mattress.
