How to Choose a SleepSafe Bed:

When choosing a SleepSafe® Bed, we want you and your loved ones to rest in a comfortable and safe environment, so with the advice from care giving professionals and listening to the needs of our clients, SleepSafe® Beds has created a durable medical equipment (DME) safety bed that meets or exceeds the FDA guidelines on entrapment and falls.

Choice #1 - Which SleepSafe® bed model will suit your needs?
Our durable medical equipment (DME) safety beds have one distinct difference - the height of the safety rail protection above the mattress. This choice should be made based on the activity level of the user. How active are they? How much safety rail above the mattress is needed? Can they sit up? Can they pull to kneel or stand in the bed? Keeping this in mind will help you and your doctor determine which bed is most appropriate. Also, you will need to order your bed with or without padding.

It is important to also consider transfer height.

The SleepSafe® - BASIC Bed transfer height is 21¼" with safety rail on. 19½" with safety rail off.

The SleepSafe® - Low Bed transfer height is 22¼" with safety rail on. 20¾" with safety rail off.

The SleepSafe® II - Medium Bed transfer height is 32" with safety rail on. 30½" safety rail off.

The SleepSafer® - Tall Bed transfer height is 26" with safety rail on. 24½" with safety rail off.

Each bed offers increased safety rail height and level of protection.

Choice #2 - What features or functions do you need in a foundation?
Every SleepSafe® Bed includes a foundation that supports the mattress. The following foundations are available for SleepSafe® Safety Beds:

Fixed Foundation

Manual Foundation

Articulated (Plus) Foundation

Hi-Lo Foundation

Select the features and functions that will best suit your needs.

Fixed Foundation offers a foundation with a fixed height and NO articulation. The mattress will lie flat on a box spring or bunkie board. Depending on the bed model chosen, you will have more than one choice for positioning that fixed height at the time of installation.

The SleepSafer® - Tall Bed offers 2 different fixed height options.

The height/positioning choice you make when installing the fixed foundation will determine the height of safety rail protection above the mattress. Example, if you choose to install at the lower position, this will increase the height of protection above the mattress. You may change the height of your fixed foundation at any time.

Note: You have a choice when choosing the Fixed foundation of a box spring or bunkie board. There is no cost or comfort difference between the two options. The only difference in the two is the depth of each. A bunkie board offers approximately 5" more of safety rail protection.

Manual Foundation offers four choices. The hand cranks use a hydraulic system and are easy to use with little effort by the operating caregiver. Note: The hand crank handles fold up into the handle's shaft.

Manual Flat Foundation Hi-Lo without the Articulating feature. This will raise and lower the mattress height with one crank located in the front panel of the bed below the safety rail.
Manual Plus Foundation without the Hi-Lo feature. This will raise and lower the head and/or knee section of the bed with a combination of two cranks located in the front panel of the bed below the safety rail.
Manual Electric Foundation with Electric Articulating and Manual Hi-Lo. This will allow user to raise and lower the head and/or knee section of the bed electrically with a remote. The raising and lowering of the mattress are controlled by a manual crank located in the front of the bed
Manual Hi-Lo Foundation with the Articulating feature. This will raise and lower the mattress height and raise and lower the head and knee section of the bed with a combination of three cranks located in the front panel of the bed below the safety rail.
With a hydraulic system, the hand cranks are easy to use with minimal effort by the caregiver.

Articulated (Plus) Foundation offers an electric frame with a fixed height. This foundation features head and knee elevation by remote control. With the touch of a button, you can elevate the head and/or knee section of the bed. As in the Fixed foundation, there are more than one height positions to choose at time of installation.

The height/positioning choice you make when installing the Articulated (Plus) foundation will determine the height of safety rail protection above the mattress. Example, if you choose to install at the lower position, this will increase the height of protection above the mattress. You may change the height of your fixed foundation at any time.

Hi-Lo Foundation offers a Hi-Lo electric frame as your foundation with FULL articulation. Not only does the head and knee section elevate, but the Hi-Lo feature allows the mattress surface to be raised or lowered by remote control. This is considered a fully electric bed. Depending on where you position the mattress within the frame will determine the amount of safety rail protection above the mattress. When lowered all the way down you will maximize the rail height above the mattress. As you begin to raise the mattress from the floor, you will decrease that safety rail height above the mattress. With the Hi-Lo foundation, you can position the mattress anywhere within the range of motion of the frame.

Note: The Hi-Lo electric foundation has a wired remote control on a cord plugged into the bed and does not operate more than one bed. This allows multiple beds in one space with no problem.

Choice #3 - What bed size is most appropriate?
The following durable medical equipment (DME) bed sizes are available for SleepSafe® Beds. Mattresses support up to 350 lbs.

Twin offers a standard twin bed size. Mattress size is 38" by 77".
ALL twin sized beds are available with all available foundations.

Full offers a standard full bed size. Mattress size is 51" by 77".
ALL full sized beds are available with all available foundations.

Queen offers a standard queen bed size. Mattress size is 61" by 77".
ALL queen sized beds are available with all available foundations.

Choice #4 - What wood finish would complement your room best?
The following wood choices are available for all SleepSafe® Beds. Please note that our beds are made with natural wood with a clear finish. We do not use a stain or paint, allowing the natural beauty of the wood to shine through a protective clear finish.

Alder is a rustic birch with random knots and straight grain. It is moderately light with a clear, natural finish.

Maple is the lightest of wood choices and shows very little wood grain.

Oak is a bit darker than the maple, but relatively light in color and shows more natural wood grain.

Cherry is slightly darker than Maple and Oak but again, is still relatively light in color. Many people tend think of the dark cherry stain when thinking of cherry, but remember this is the natural wood with no stain finish, however, over time, cherry wood will darken naturally over the years.

Mahogany should be the darkest of the wood choices but mahogany finishes will vary significantly. We use an African Mahogany which is naturally lighter than typical dark Mahogany. The color will darken with time. We clear coat the wood to bring out the wood's beautiful grain.

Choice #5 - Do you need any additional accessories?

Padding: Very Important : When ordering your bed, you will need to order your SleepSafe® Bed with or without padding depending on your needs. Our beds are now sized and manufactured accordingly. It is important to make this determination when you order your bed as retrofitting your bed in the future will be costly. If you order padding, it will be installed at the factory and will cover all four sides. Padding only one or two sides is not an option.

If you order padding with your bed, it is very important to never use the bed if you have removed one or more of the pads. If you remove ANY of the pads, a gap will be created between the mattress and the sides of the bed potentially creating a risk for entrapment.

Four colors of padding are currently available: Cream, Gray, Blue and Taupe.

IV Pole can be installed anywhere on the footboard or headboard. It is a 30 inch stainless steel pole with 2 ram hooks.

Medical Tubing can be accessed through a 2" by 18" vertical hole cut from the headboard.

Headboard Window is available for installation in the headboard.

Footboard Window is available for installation in the footboard.

SleepSafe® Bed Headboard and/or Footboard Window Options
You can order your bed with or without a headboard or footboard window.
The need to see and be seen can be very important to both care givers and the person using a SleepSafe® Bed. We realize every situation is different so we have added the option of ordering additional windows that can be installed in the headboard or footboard. This can be especially helpful when ordering the SleepSafer® - High Bed, to allow more visibility.

SleepSafer® Extension Kit Increases Safety Height another 16¾"
Through the years we have had many requests for a safety bed with additional safety height. The SleepSafer® Extension Kit maximizes the safety height an additional 16 ¾" when fitted on top of a SleepSafer® Bed. This latest development allows a maximum of 53" between the top of the safety rail to the top of mattress using a bunkie board with the fixed foundation.

Available for SleepSafer® Bed models only, including all foundations.

Kit may be included, as an option, with a new bed order or can be sent out as a retrofit for an existing bed.

Front and back windows have see-through tear resistant mesh fabric to increase ventilation.

SleepSafer® Extension Offers an Enclosed Top with padding for Additional Safety.
SleepSafe® Beds now offers a top that securely fastens to the SleepSafer® Extension. A fully enclosed bed for the most active user has been requested by our customers for years. The SleepSafer® Enclosed Extension may be ordered with the Open Extension or separately.

All beds include the following items:
1. SleepSafe® Bed model of choice (Low, Medium or Tall)
2. Premium Mattress: Our technically advanced mattress provides remarkable comfort and support. Covered in fluid-resistant, anti-microbial/anti-bacterial, fire-retardant stretch Nylon fabric, the mattress provides unique comfort zones for support and pressure relief.
3. Locking Casters
4. Foundation of choice: Box spring or bunkie board (Fixed models), manual crank (Articulated/Plus), or electric frame (Articulated/Plus or Hi-Lo models).
5. Standard shipping within the 48 continental United States. (Excludes Alaska and Hawaii)

See the Additional Documentation below for a summary of experiences in dealing with requests for insurance and/or Medicaid financial assistance. (Most of the beds that are sold are covered by insurance, both private and Medicaid). We do not file for Medicaid or insurance claims. The example letters of medical necessity and advice within the Supporting Documents are only intended to assist you in writing your own letter to aid in securing funding for medical equipment. It is in no way implied that if you use this example you will be granted funding for medical equipment. Our only intention is to share information that we have gathered in the past and used by other clients.

• MANUAL FOUNDATION offers a fixed height with NON-ELECTRIC head and knee adjustment. This foundation features head and knee adjustment by using a manual crank that is installed at in the footboard. NO high and low mattress height adjustment is available. With a hydraulic system, the hand crank is easy to use with minimal effort by the caregiver. Unlike the other foundation options that offer more than one choice for positioning the mattress height of the bed, the Manual foundation has only ONE height to install the foundation. The fixed mattress surface is 33 inches from the floor offering 12 inches of rail protection above the mattress surface (18” above the deck).

• ARTICULATED FOUNDATION offers an electric frame with a fixed height. This foundation features head and knee elevation by remote control. With the touch of a button, you can elevate the head and/or foot section of the bed. As in the Fixed foundation, there are more than one height positions to choose at time of installation.

Example, if you choose to install at the lower position, this will increase the height of protection above the mattress. You may change the height of your fixed foundation at any time.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Remote Controls for Electric Foundations: The articulated electric frame has a WIRELESS remote control. The WIRELESS remote control has a 250 foot range where the radio frequency operates a bed. This can be an issue if a SECOND articulated bed in the same home, especially if beds are used a multi-bed facility. One remote will operate another bed if within 250 feet.

• HI-LO FOUNDATION offers a Hi-Lo electric frame as your foundation with FULL articulation. Not only does the head and knee section elevate, but the Hi-Lo feature allows the mattress surface to be raised or lowered by remote control. This is considered a fully electric bed. Depending on where you position the mattress within the frame will determine the amount of safety rail protection above the mattress. When lowered all the way down you will maximize the rail height above the mattress. As you begin to raise the mattress from the floor, you will decrease that safety rail height above the mattress. With the Hi-Lo foundation, you can position the mattress anywhere within the range of motion of the frame.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Hi-Lo electric foundation has a WIRED remote control on a cord plugged into the bed and does NOT operate more than one bed. No problem to have multiple beds in one space.
