Abstract

Variables affecting thermal resistance of infant bedding materials arranged to simulate use are described and an alternative method for estimating thermal resistance (dry) of multiple layers is proposed. Thermal resistance was determined when materials were flat and spaced to simulate use, using a guarded-hotplate similar to that specified in ISO11092:1993(E).
