Sleep Surface Hazards

Sleep Surface Hazards is a construct in pediatric sleep safety research that identifies specific physical characteristics and conditions of an infant’s sleeping environment—such as soft bedding, inclined surfaces, or positional instability—that increase the risk of suffocation, entrapment, or impaired arousal, thereby differentiating it from other Sudden Infant Death Syndrome risk factors by focusing exclusively on the biomechanical and spatial properties of the sleep surface.
