Breathable mattress pad

Abstract

Sleeping accessories such as mattress pads, mattress topper covers, and sheet savers are disclosed herein comprising integrated padded mesh material. Integrated padded mesh material, when used in the sleeping accessories, results in improved air flow for the user, which can reduce complications during sleep such as sudden infant death syndrome. The material may have one or multiple layers, and may include a moisture wicking fabric, allergy-blocking fabric, or water resistant fabric. Certain layers are padded to provide more comfort for the user and in some embodiments, the padded layer may be sloped to assist with reflux.
