Other pediatricians recommend that an infant be placed on his side while sleeping. As a result, various sleep positioning aids have been developed to keep an infant on his back or side while sleeping.
- Various infant sleep positioning aids such as support pillows and wedges have been developed to position an infant while sleeping. The support pillows and wedges can be placed around the infant to prevent the infant from rolling over onto his stomach. Better sleep positioning aids are desired to improve the comfort of an infant while sleeping.
- In some embodiments, the present invention provides an infant positioning aid including a first position member positioned on a first side of the infant; and a second position member arranged on a second side of the infant opposite the first side, and wherein at least one of the first position member and the second position member is adjustable to a selected shape that is maintained during use.
- In other embodiments, the present invention provides an infant positioning aid including a first position member and a second position member configured to fit adjacent an infant, wherein at least one of the first position member and the second position member is adjustable to a selected length that is maintained during use.
- In yet other embodiments, the present invention provides an infant positioning aid including a first position member and a second position member configured to fit adjacent an infant, wherein at least one of the first position member and the second position member is adjustable to a selected curvature that is maintained during use.
- Other aspects of the invention will become apparent by consideration of the detailed description and accompanying drawings.

FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrate an infant placed on a sleep positioner having two positioning members that do not conform to the shape and size of the infant. This type of sleep positioner can lead to unwanted movement of the infant and make the sleep positioner uncomfortable for the infant leading to less sleep time. -
FIG. 2 illustrates an infantsleep positioning aid 10 including amat 14 with a support surface. Themat 14 can have a consistent thickness throughout its length and width. In other constructions, themat 14 can have a varying thickness throughout its length forming a wedge shape (i.e., an increasing thickness from one side of the mat to an opposite side of the mat). As illustrated inFIG. 3 , themat 14 includes afirst fabric layer 18 and a second fabric layer 22 stitched together at their peripheries and forming an enclosure for anintermediate layer 26. Theintermediate layer 26 can comprise a spacer fabric having a first mesh layer, a second mesh layer, and a plurality of fabric strands positioned in a lengthwise fashion between the first mesh layer and the second mesh layer. The fabric strands are flexible yet rigid enough to withstand the weight of an infant without collapsing. Theintermediate layer 26 can include one or more additional layers such as a layer of a foam material, a memory foam material, and/or a combination of materials. Theintermediate layer 26 provides support for the infant while also allowing air flow between the infant and the support surface. - The
first fabric layer 18 and the second fabric layer 22 can comprise the same material or a different material. Portions of thefirst fabric layer 18 and portions of the second fabric layer 22 can comprise a different material than the rest of thefabric layer 18, 22. Thefirst fabric layer 18 and the second fabric layer 22 can comprise cotton, tricot, nylon, spandex or other suitable materials or combinations of materials. - The infant
sleep positioning aid 10 also includes afirst positioning member 30 and asecond positioning member 34 as illustrated inFIGS. 4A-C and 5. Bothpositioning members positioning member mat 14 and moved and adjusted to conform to any position of the infant and to the size and shape of the infant. Both positioningmembers first positioning member 30 is set forth below. - With reference to
FIGS. 4A-C and 5, thefirst positioning member 30 includes atube 38 having a generally defined perimeter as shown. Thetube 38 includes afirst end 42, asecond end 46, and anintermediate section 50 positioned between thefirst end 42 and thesecond end 46. Thefirst end 42 and thesecond end 46 of thetube 38 are open and allow for the free passage of air. Thetube 38 can comprise a plastic material having sufficient flexibility yet rigid enough to prevent collapse. The plastic material can include openings adjacent to thefirst end 42 and thesecond end 46 that cooperate with the open ends to allow for the passage of air. Theintermediate section 50 includes an accordion configuration as illustrated inFIGS. 4A-4C . The accordion configuration allows thefirst positioning member 30 to be lengthened and/or curved to accommodate different sizes and shapes of infants. A user can push or pull the positioning member along its length to adjust the length of the positioning member. A user also can bend or flex the ends of the positioning member to adjust a curvature of the positioning member. - The
first positioning member 30 also includes afabric layer 54 generally surrounding thetube 38 and having a thickness for providing a cushioned and soft feeling next to the infant. Thefabric layer 54 can include an open first end and an open second end to allow for the free passage of air.
