Abstract
An infant bedding apparatus utilizes a mesh sleeping surface and a suspension device adapted to suspend the mesh sleeping surface above an existing sleeping surface of the bed thereby defining an air space between the existing sleeping surface and the mesh sleeping surface. The suspension device is a rigid rectangular frame having connectors, which may be elastomeric, for attachment to the mesh sleeping surface. Tensioners may be attached to the connectors for tensioning the mesh sleeping surface. As a result, the circulation of the fresh air in the area where body contact with the mesh sleeping surface occurs is improved when an infant is sleeping in a face-down or a substantially face-down position.

An infant bedding apparatus comprising:
- a mesh sleeping surface;
- a suspension device supported by an existing sleeping surface and suspending the mesh sleeping surface within an existing framework of an infant bed, whereby an air space is defined between the existing sleeping surface and the mesh sleeping surface;
- the suspension device being a rigid rectangular frame including upper and lower interconnected portions;
- and
- the mesh sleeping surface being connected to the rigid frame by connectors.
An infant bedding apparatus comprising:
- a mesh sleeping surface;
- a suspension device suspending the mesh sleeping surface above an existing sleeping surface within an existing framework of an infant bed, whereby air is free to circulate between the existing sleeping surface and the mesh sleeping surface;
- the suspension device being a rigid rectangular frame mounted on the existing sleeping surface;
- and
- the mesh sleeping surface being connected to the rigid frame by connectors.
