The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (”CPSC”) has recently issued a warning that families never place infants to sleep on air mattresses or other soft surfaces, including water beds. 

According to CPSC, air mattresses or other soft surfaces, pose suffocation risks for infants, and “Even properly inflated air mattresses are usually too soft for infants to maintain a clear airway. Air leaks and under-inflation also contribute to incidents.”
