On the surface, the foundation supports the mattress. But the right foundation does so much more.
Enhanced Safety
To increase safety, the SleepSafe Bed design has addressed the gaps in the seven zones of entrapment.
Sensory Regulation and Comfort:
For many users with sensory processing challenges — a firm sleeping surface can be calming and help reduce overstimulation.
Easier for Parents and Caregivers
Adjustable height foundations can reduce the stress and strain of nighttime routines, including repositioning the user or transferring in and out of bed.
The following foundations are available for your SleepSafe® Safety Bed:
Fixed Foundation
FIXED FOUNDATION offers a foundation with a fixed height and NO articulation or HI-LO features. The mattress will lie flat on a box spring or
bunkie board.
| BED TYPE | NUMBER OF FIXED HEIGHT OPTIONS |
|---|---|
| The SleepSafe® – Low Bed | 2 Fixed Height Options |
| The SleepSafe® – Medium Bed | 2 or 3 Fixed Height Options |
| The SleepSafe® – Tall Bed | 2 Different Fixed Height Options |
| The SleepSafe® – Extension Bed | 2 Different Fixed Height Options |
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 5.5″ more of safety rail protection.
Manual Foundation
MANUAL FOUNDATION The hand cranks use a hydraulic system and are easy to use with little effort.
Note: The hand crank handles fold up into the handle’s shaft.
MANUAL HiLo
(mattress elevation only)
MANUAL ARTICULATION
(head and knee elevation only)
MANUAL HiLo COMBO
(head, knee and mattress elevation)
MANUAL ELECTRIC COMBO
(electric head and knee elevation and manual mattress elevation)
Articulating Foundation
ARTICULATING FOUNDATION offers an electric frame with a fixed height choice. With the touch of a button, you can elevate the head and/or knee section of the bed.
As with the Fixed foundation, there is more than one attachment point to choose at time of installation. The attachment point choice you make when installing the Articulated foundation will determine the height of safety rail protection above the mattress. For 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 foundation at any time.
All articulating SleepSafe Bed models, both manual and electric, are designed for the head section and the knee/foot section to move smoothly up and down. The angle of each section can be set at a preferred angle. The HEAD section moves from the flat position (zero) to 70 degrees. The KNEE/FOOT section moves from a flat position (zero) to 40 degrees.
Hi-Lo Foundation
HI-LO FOUNDATION offers a Hi-Lo electric frame as your foundation with FULL articulation. The HiLo combo foundation offers head, knee and mattress elevation by remote control. This is considered a fully electric bed.
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 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.
