Cani Airwave: The Breathable Mattress for Babies

Designed by Chun-Lung Chen

People-oriented and live with the earth as the concept, babies have been in contact with natural organic cotton fabrics since their birth. The product structure is made of breathable, safe and supportable PET thermoplastic elastomer, and 3D honeycomb pressure-relieving texture, which makes babies more comfortable. Natural and organic, people-oriented, and live with the earth are our philosophy in making baby mattresses.

The Cani Airwave mattress is a revolutionary design that prioritizes the safety and comfort of babies. Inspired by the founder's own experience as a new parent, the mattress was created to address the challenges of choosing baby-safe products for children with atopic dermatitis. By following the advice of doctors and sourcing organic cotton from abroad, the founder discovered the incredible benefits of using organic materials for babies' skin. This led to the introduction of organic cotton to Taiwan and the creation of the Cani Airwave brand.

What sets the Cani Airwave mattress apart is its unique construction and materials. Made from European Food Law and FDA approved PP material, the mattress is free from plasticizers, formaldehyde, and BPA. It is designed for babies who frequently spit or wet their bed, and can be easily washed with hot water and dried in just a few hours under sunlight. The breathable fibrous structure allows air to flow freely inside the mattress, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic sleeping environment for babies.

The Cani Airwave mattress measures 120cm x 60cm x 5cm and weighs 3200g. Its pocket spring structure provides superior support for infant spine health development, surpassing the capabilities of traditional flat design mattresses. The mattress is meticulously handcrafted by Taiwanese craftsmen, with hand-embroidered stitches creating playful bear patterns on the organic cotton bed bag. This attention to detail and craftsmanship adds a touch of innocence and childlike charm to the design.

Since its launch in 2015, the Cani Airwave mattress has received accolades for its innovative design and commitment to infant well-being. In 2021, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Baby, Kids, and Children's Products Design category. This prestigious award recognizes designs that demonstrate creativity, resourcefulness, and a dedication to improving the quality of life for children. The Cani Airwave mattress truly embodies these qualities, making it a standout choice for parents seeking the best for their babies.

With its focus on organic materials, breathability, and superior support, the Cani Airwave mattress is a testament to the power of design to enhance the lives of infants. By prioritizing the health and comfort of babies, Chun-Lung Chen has created a mattress that not only meets the needs of parents but also contributes to a better and safer world for children.
