My son regularly smacks his head on the solid wooden ends of his cotbed, either in his sleep (sleep-crawling) or when falling over while standing up half asleep. He doesn't seem to mind, but I do. I want to cover each end with a block of foam, but all I have found is sold for use in seating and is of dubious composition. I know polyurethane and polyester foam and the fire-retardants often used on them can release noxious fumes but I don't know where to go to find non-toxic foam. I did fold an old duvet in half and drape it over the cot. I tried smacking my head against it a few times and came to the conclusion that it wasn't cushioned enough. Ouch. The things we do for our children. Any ideas?
