To buy a sleepyhead second hand?

[Marsaday]

So I know people generally do not use/buy second hand cot/crib matresses because it is supposed to increase the risk of SIDS.
However, on ebay and on local selling groups there is a roaring trade in second hand sleepyhead nests.

Is using onw of these second hand not exactly the same as using a second hand mattress? Or am I missing something??
I'm wondering whether to spend £90 new or £50 seond hand...

They aren't P.E.T. so they're not breaking down and releasing gasses.

Mine is second hand. It's all washable. I love it, but DD only sleeps in it during the day when I'm around to watch her. I think there are some concerns with suffocation because of the big squashy bit around the edge but DD likes being swaddled quite tight and can't roll over yet so I think she'll be fine.

I wish we'd got ours second hand as ours has not managed to sleep in it once!!

binkybix maybe you should sell it to me!

Can you wash the bumper bit then? I assumed you could only wash the cover.

lemon my baby is only 6 days old and definitely can't roll yet! Plus she is swaddled so pretty stuck anyway. She's not been at all keen on being put down sp I thought feeling snuggled would help.

second hand mattresses are associated with a higher rate of cot death. I wouldn't therefore buy a second hand one of any variety.
