Is there really such a thing as cot death?

Cot death, according to Dr. Jim Sprott is a result of toxic gas poisoning generated from the mattress a baby sleep on. As such, he recommends not using old mattresses, using only pure woollen or pure cotton over-blankets, and avoiding such things as dry-cot mattress protectors, sheepskin products and duvets.
