Choosing the right SleepSafe Bed

We want our clients 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 our clients, SleepSafe™ Beds, LLC has created a bed system that meets or exceeds the FDA guidelines on entrapment and falls.

At first glance, it may appear to be confusing or overwhelming…the many variations of the SleepSafe Beds product line, but there are actually basic differences in only 3 models. We want to assist you in determining your needs and find the right solution that is best for you and your loved one so you both can rest easier. Please take a moment to read through this “crash course” on our products to help you sort through the different choices.

Here is a pictorial comparison and chart, as well as a simple explanation of the basic differences and what bed solution will best meet your individual needs. All of our beds are custom built per order so it is important to order the correct bed the first time. If you are still unsure about which bed model is right for you, please call us at toll free 866-852-2337 so we may help you make the right choice.

Another basic, but important difference in the 3 models is access to the sleep surface. All of our beds are built with 2 safety rails. On the SleepSafe and the SleepSafe II, the rails are installed on both sides of the bed, allowing access from either side. In order to offer the highest level of protection with a maximum 36 inches of safety rail height above the mattress, we have designed the SleepSafer with both safety rails tiered one on top the other on one side, allowing access from only one side of the bed. Because of the overall height of the bed, it usually does not create a concern because most users place the bed against a wall. However, when the SleepSafer is the only solution to fit your needs, and you need to have access from both sides, we offer the option for “Dual View”, which includes 2 additional safety rails to replace the solid wood back panel.

All 3 models are available in an upgraded version, the “PLUS” models, (SS+, SS2+ & SSR+) in which the box spring or bunkie board. Our product line includes the SleepSafe™ (SS), SleepSafe™ II (SS2) and SleepSafer™ (SSR) basic models. The most important difference in the 3 bed models we offer is the safety rail height above the mattress surface. If your only need is to prevent falls, the SleepSafe will fulfill your basic need, with protection from 10 inches of safety rail height. As the user’s activity level increases, the need for higher safety rail coverage may be needed. As you move up to the SleepSafe II and the SleepSafer, the height of the safety rail increases anywhere from 10 inches to a maximum of 36 inches above the mattress. The overall height of the bed also increases with each model. board is replaced with a semi-electric frame that offers remote controlled head and/or feet elevation. The SleepSafe, SleepSafe II and the SleepSafer are also available in a “YOUTH” size and a “HiLo” model. The HI LO models are available in standard twin and a custom size of 48 inches wide and offer the added feature of fully electric mattress height adjustment in addition to head and/or feet elevation.

To recap the 3 different models and variations, please refer to the chart and pictorial comparison of the 3 models and what choices are available within each model. You choose the wood type from Oak or Maple. Both woods are relatively light in color. The Oak tends to show more of the natural wood grain. Additionally you have a choice in box spring or bunkie board in the BASIC models. You would choose the bunkie board when you need to increase the safety rail height by 4 inches. There is no cost or comfort difference between box spring and bunkie board.
