Sleepcurve mattress- any experience?

My 5 month old son has tortolicollis and plagiocephaly as a result of this.

I have read about the ‘Sleepcurve’ mattress which is apparently clinically tested by Alder Hey. I believe it works by taking pressure off the whole head which then allows the head to grow normally.

Does anyone have experience of it - does it correct plagiocephaly and are there any downsides/ dangers to it?

Using it would be in addition to physio and osteopathy.
Not keen on helmet unless it is the only option.

I just find it odd that none of the four professionals I have spoken to who supposedly specialize in this have even heard of the mattress.
