FAQ

Beds

Are SleepSafe Beds approved by the FDA?

SleepSafe® Beds, LLC is registered as a manufacturer, and its products, classified as medical devices, are listed with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA does not provide “approval” for this type of medical device as it is exempt under FDA’s Title 21, Chapter I, Subchapter H, Part 880, Subpart F, Section 880.5100 (b).

According the the FDA, “Registration of a device establishment, assignment of a registration number, or listing of a medical device does not in any way denote approval of the establishment or its products by FDA.”

For questions regarding FDA regulations, please contact Bob Baldacci, Director of Quality and Regulatory Affairs at SleepSafe® Beds.

Other manufacturers of safety beds may claim approval, but they have misinterpreted the statute.

Is there a way to cover the Channel Cut-Out?

SleepSafe Bed - Cut-Out Insert in the HeadboardYes. We make an optional Cut-Out Cover that can be inserted into the Channel Cut-Out. The cover is fastened from the outside of the bed. For further information, call Customer Support at 866-852-2337.

 

Is there a way to enhance safeguard against unwanted opening the bed’s safety rail?

Yes. We are occasionally asked if there is a way to prevent the safety rail from being opened by either the bed’s user, or someone outside of the bed, such as a sibling. It is best to call our Customer Service department toll-free at 866-852-2337 to discuss a solution.

How many degrees do the SleepSafe® Beds head and knee sections move when articulating?

All articulating SleepSafe Bed models, both manual and electric, are designed for the head section and the knee section to smoothly move 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 section moves from a flat position (zero) to 40 degrees. For further information, contact our offices toll-free at 866.852.2337.

How long does it take to ship my SleepSafe® Bed after it has been ordered?

Once ordered from your DME provider, it may take up to 4 weeks to ship a SleepSafe® Bed. Production and shipping times vary throughout the year. Expedited shipment is available. After the bed has been ordered by your DME provider, you are welcome to call us at 866-852-2337 from 9 to 5 EST to check the delivery status of your bed.

How do I reset my SleepSafe Bed’s Control Box?

For SleepSafe® Bed models using electric for articulation and Hi-Lo operation after January 2015, go to “Resources” under the “Contact” tab. You will find a downloadable instructional sheet for resetting your bed with your remote. These beds use T-Motion components to operate your bed.

SleepSafe® Beds manufactured prior to January 2015 used a different component system called Linak. For those instructions, please contact our Customer Service department at 866.852.2337.

What is the difference between a SleepSafe®, SleepSafe® II and SleepSafer® Bed models?

The main difference is the height of the safety rail protection above the mattress. Each of the SleepSafe® Bed models increases its overall bed height about 10-12 inches. Even though the safety rail itself does not change in size, the overall height of safety rail protection changes with each bed model. For complete SleepSafe® Bed measurements please visit our specification page.

Another difference is the transfer height — the distance from the floor to the top edge of the bed’s wooden side panel below the safety rail.

• SleepSafe® – BASIC BED has a Transfer Height of 21¼” with the safety rail on the bed and 20¾” with the safety rail removed.

• SleepSafe® – LOW BED has a Transfer Height of 22¼” with the safety rail on the bed and 20¾” with the safety rail removed.

• SleepSafe® II – MEDIUM BED has a Transfer Height of 32″ with the safety rail on the bed and 30½” with the safety rail removed.

• SleepSafer® – TALL BED has a Transfer Height of 26″ with the safety rail on the bed and 24½” with the safety rail removed.

Can I put different casters on a SleepSafe® HiLo Bed that has towers?

The casters that are provided with the SleepSafe® HiLo bed should not be replaced with different casters as they would interfere with the HiLo operation on SleepSafe® Bed models that use towers.

Is a battery backup system available for beds that use electricity, in case of a power failure?

Yes. Battery backup systems (UPS) are available from retailers such as Staples or Office Depot.

We recommend that you purchase a UPS battery back up unit such as APC’s ES 750. This unit will give enough power to operate the bed for a limited time. This unit has 6 battery powered outlets to provide power for other devices as well.

What kind of electric outlet is necessary for SleepSafe® Beds that use electricity?

A standard, grounded (3 prong) 110 volt electric outlet is all that is needed for our electrically powered foundations. No special or additional electricity or accommodations are necessary.  We recommend that you use an equipment power surge protector, like you would for your computer or other expensive electronic components, to protect your SleepSafe® Bed from a power surge.

Will a standard lift fit under a SleepSafe Bed® Bed?

Yes. Our most recent SleepSafe® Bed models have the following clearance beneath the bed’s side panel and the floor to accommodate most standard lifts.

There is a 8 inch clearance under the SleepSafe® Bed – (Low Bed) to accommodate most standard lifts.

There is a 8 inch clearance under the SleepSafe® II Bed – (Medium Bed) to accommodate most standard lifts.

There is a 7.75 inch clearance under the SleepSafer® Bed – (Tall Bed) to accommodate most standard lifts.

Various clearance heights have been in effect over the years, if your bed is over 3 years old, please call us toll free: 866-852-2337 to check your models clearance height.

Are SleepSafe® Beds available with manual cranks?

Yes. SleepSafe® Beds has four choices with easy to operate hand cranks. The manual crank systems are located on the side of the bed, under the safety rail, making it easier and more convenient for room placement and operator use.

1) Manual Hi-Lo Combo
This will raise and lower the mattress height AND raise and/or lower
the head and knee section of the bed by using the three cranks.
2) Manual Articulation
This will raise and lower the head and/or knee section of the bed by
using two cranks located in the front panel of the bed.
3) Manual Hi-Lo
This will raise and lower the mattress height by using one crank
located in the center of the front panel of the bed.
4) Manual Electric Combo
This will raise and lower the head and/or knee section of the bed
electrically with remote. Will raise and lower mattress with a crank manually.

Can I get a SleepSafe® Bed in other lengths or widths?

All standard size SleepSafe® Beds are 77 inches long. However, we can manufacture custom lengths up to 84″, or as short as 60″, for an additional charge. Custom widths, particularly narrower than the standard twin size frame, are also available.

Please contact us toll-free at 866-852-2337 for further details about custom bed lengths and widths.

How do I get replacement parts or what should I do if I have a repair problem?

Please call your local dealer that helped you purchase the bed. They should be able to help with any problem you may have. If for whatever reason your original dealer cannot help you, please contact us directly so we may assist you at 866-852-2337.

When you call, please try to have your original Sales Order number. If you cannot find that number, you can use the bed’s serial number. This number can be found on the outside of the headboard, centered at the bottom on a small clear sticker. It will be a 4 or 5 digit number.

Serial numbers can be found on any bed manufactured after 2009. Beds before that time did not have serial numbers and can be traced using the original Sales Order Confirmation that your dealer should have.

How do I find the serial number for my SleepSafe® Bed?

The serial number can be found on the outside of the headboard, centered at the bottom on a small clear sticker. It will be a 4 or 5 digit number. Serial numbers can be found on any bed manufactured after 2009. Beds before 2009 did not have serial numbers but can be traced using the original Sales Order Confirmation that your dealer should have.

Prior to 2009 only beds with electric foundations had serial numbers for the electric frame.

  • The serial number can be found on an older Articulated (Plus) foundation under the head section of the metal electric frame. It starts with the letter W.
  • The serial number can be found on an older Hi-Lo foundation on a metal plate stamped on the metal frame around the knee section.

As of February 14, 2018 the serial number of the bed, the frame number and the Sales Order Confirmation number will all be the same. You can locate the serial number and the frame number as before in the same locations.

Are SleepSafe® Beds for children only?

No. All SleepSafe® Beds are standard adult sized beds available in twin, full and queen sizes and will accommodate an adult up to 350 pounds.

What is the weight capacity of a SleepSafe® Bed?

The mattress supplied with your SleepSafe® Bed supports up to 350 pounds. The foundation can support more, however, weight support is usually limited to mattress specifications.

How do I clean my SleepSafe® Bed?

All surfaces of a SleepSafe® Bed can be cleaned with water and mild detergent using a soft cloth. Please avoid any abrasives and solvents.

Do you manufacture any other types of beds?

Yes. We manufacture a brand called Assured Comfort® Hi-Low Adjustable Beds. Three models are available offering various features depending on the requirements of the individual using the bed.

For more information call us at 866.852.2337 or please visit us at www.assuredcomfortbed.com

What is the difference between an Articulated and Hi-Lo foundation?

The Articulated foundation, referred to as a PLUS model, allows the user to only raise or lower the head and knee section of the bed, electrically by a wired remote control or manually with a crank on our manual SleepSafe® Bed models. Note: Past bed models may have used a wireless remote to control articulation.

The Hi-Lo foundation on our fully electric model allows the user to raise and lower the head and knee section of the bed and control the overall height of the mattress from the floor, electrically by a wired remote control. The same features can be controlled manually with a crank with our Manual Hi-Lo Combo model.

Can I get a Hi-Lo foundation to adjust the mattress height without the head and knee adjustability?

Yes, but only with one of our manual foundation configurations. The electric Hi-Lo function is not available without the head and knee articulation.

What is the difference between a box spring and a bunkie board in a fixed foundation?

Each SleepSafe® Bed needs some type of foundation for the mattress to rest upon. With the Articulated and Hi Lo foundations, the mattress rests directly on the electric frame. With the Fixed foundation, you have a choice between a box spring or bunkie board for your mattress to lie upon. The only difference is that a bunkie board is 2 inches high and a box spring is 8 inches high.

When the goal is to maximize safety rail height above the mattress you will choose a bunkie board so that the mattress surface can be positioned 6 inches lower within the bed’s foundation. When the goal is to raise the mattress surface as far from the floor as possible, then you should choose a box spring so that the mattress will be positioned 6 inches higher. There is no price or comfort difference, only a height difference.

How should I move a SleepSafe® HiLo bed that has towers that touch the floor ?

Before moving the SleepSafe® HiLo bed, it needs to be lowered all the way so that the towers are not touching the floor. If the towers are touching the floor and the bed is moved, you could damage the towers.

Can SleepSafe® Beds accommodate an IV pole and medical tubing?

If ordered, our IV POLE kit can be installed anywhere on the foot board or headboard. It is a 30 inch aluminum pole with 4 ram hooks.

If ordered, a 2″ by 18″ vertical slot can be installed in the headboard to access MEDICAL TUBING.

Do SleepSafe® Beds offer a “flush transfer”?

All SleepSafe® Bed models without the Hi-Lo feature have multiple settings to choose when installing the bed. These settings allow different rail height protection for the beds. One of these settings allows the mattress to be just above the side panel when the safety rail is down, allowing easier transfers from the bed.

However there is one exception. Beds with a fixed foundation, using bunkie boards, cannot be setup for a “flush transfer”, as this configuration is set up for maximum safety rail protection. The bed user will need to be lifted over the side panel to transfer.

SleepSafe® Beds with Hi-Lo capability allow the height of the mattress to be adjusted, including a “flush transfer” position.

Can I add extra windows to the head and/or foot of ANY SleepSafe bed?

Extra windows can be added to all beds except the SleepSafe® – Low Bed with padding installed.

Safety Rails

Is there a way to enhance safeguard against unwanted opening the bed’s safety rail?

Yes. We are occasionally asked if there is a way to prevent the safety rail from being opened by either the bed’s user, or someone outside of the bed, such as a sibling. It is best to call our Customer Service department toll-free at 866-852-2337 to discuss a solution.

My child has outgrown the height of the safety rails. Can I convert my SleepSafe Bed to a model offering more safety rail height?

Yes. Most SleepSafe® – Low Beds or SleepSafe® II – Medium Beds can be converted to a higher bed. A SleepSafer® Bed – Tall Bed can be retrofitted with a SleepSafer® Extension Kit to offer an additional 16¾ inches of safety height protection. Conversion depends on the year your bed was manufactured. Beds manufactured prior to 2009 may not be converted. If you have any questions, give a call toll-free at 866-852-2337.

To convert any bed to a higher model, while keeping the same foundation you will need to purchase a Conversion Kit from SleepSafe® Beds. This kit will include a new headboard, foot board and side panels. You will use your existing mattress, foundation, casters and safety rails.

Insurance may or may not cover the additional cost of the conversion kit. It may be necessary to submit another letter of medical necessity justifying the change. You will need to make the purchase through your local DME provider of SleepSafe® Beds.

Is there a fully enclosed SleepSafe® bed available (a.k.a. canopy bed)?

Yes.

SleepSafer® Bed Extension Offers an Enclosed Top for Additional Safety.

SleepSafe® Beds now offers a top that securely fastens to the SleepSafer® Extension.  For more information, please call us toll-free at 866-852-2337.

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 as a fixed foundation.

The SleepSafer® Bed Extension Kit may be ordered initially with a SleepSafer® Bed or ordered separately as a retrofit into an existing SleepSafer® Bed.

• Available for only SleepSafer® Bed models including all foundations.
• The Extension had 6 windows, 3 on each side length, covered by see-through tear resistant mesh fabric to increase ventilation.

How much does a SleepSafe® Bed safety rail weigh?

Each SleepSafe® Bed safety rail weighs about 18 to 20 pounds depending on its finish.

How do the SleepSafe® Bed’s safety rails work? Can they be removed?

On the SleepSafe® – Low Bed and SleepSafe® II – Medium bed, the safety rails really never actually have to be removed. When they are lowered and hanging in place, they most likely won’t be in the way. Only the SleepSafer® bed – Tall Bed will need the top rail removed when full access to the mattress is needed.

When full access is needed in the SleepSafer® – Tall Bed, lower the bottom safety rail first and leave it hanging in place. Then lower the top rail, and while it is hanging in its lowered position, remove it by lifting its hardware and simply set aside.

If the SleepSafer® Bed has an extension, the top rail will raise and lock into a fastener located on the side of the extension, so the top bed rail does not need to be removed.

Note: When replacing the rail for the SleepSafer® – Tall Bed, be sure to put it back the same way you took it off. Set it back in place in its lowered position first and then flip it up to lock in place.

Do all SleepSafe® Beds include windows in the safety rails?

Yes. All beds include 2 safety rails with 3 windows (or mesh screens) in each. On the SleepSafe® — Low Bed and SleepSafe® II — Medium beds, the two safety rails are divided. One safety rail is installed on each side, allowing access to the mattress surface from each side.

In order to maximize safety rail protection with the SleepSafer® — Tall bed, the two safety rails are tiered, one on top of the other. Bed access is allowed from only one side. The back is constructed of a solid wood panel. Most SleepSafer® installations are against a wall and access from both sides is not needed.

When a SleepSafer® — Tall bed is needed and access from both sides is important, a Dual View option is available. The bed will be manufactured with 4 safety rails, two tiered on each side.

Padding

Can I replace the padding in my bed?

Yes, padding can be replaced in your SleepSafe Bed. Please contact your original Durable Medical Equipment provider (DME). Your DME will work with SleepSafe Bed Customer Support at 866.852.2337 to fulfill your request.

If I order padding, will it cover the safety rail windows?

You have a choice. When padding is ordered, it is factory installed to cover all four sides of the interior, including the safety rails with the windows. You can choose to have the padding installed over or around the safety rail windows.

Important! If you order a  bed with padding, we do not recommend using the bed if any of the pads have been removed. Removing the pads will leave a gap between the mattress and the bed side.

Please note that we manufacture two different sized foundations for a bed with padding and a bed without padding.

The first size is for a bed with padding installed. It allows just enough space for the padding to be installed and extend below the mattress surface.

The second size is for a bed without padding installed. It will be sized a bit wider so that it makes full contact with all four sides of the interior of the bed.

In either case, we are making sure the mattress fits tightly within the foundation to address the risk of entrapment or burrowing.

Is there a way to cover the Channel Cut-Out?

SleepSafe Bed - Cut-Out Insert in the HeadboardYes. We make an optional Cut-Out Cover that can be inserted into the Channel Cut-Out. The cover is fastened from the outside of the bed. For further information, call Customer Support at 866-852-2337.

 

What type of padding do you use inside a SleepSafe® Bed?

The padding used for SleepSafe® Beds has the following specifications and features:

Cover Material:
• 70 Denier Nylon Fabric with a Specialized Fluid Resistant Healthcare Coating
• Padding may cover windows entirely or be formed around the windows or meshed screens.
• Colors available: Cream, Gray, Taupe and Light Blue

Padding Features:
• Bacteria / Fungal resistant
• Fluid Proof
• Non-allergenic
• Easy to keep clean
• Malodor Protection
• Flame Retardant
• Stain / Tear Resistant
• Non-allergenic
• Anti-Static

If I order extra windows in the headboard and footboard AND padding, will it cover those windows?

No. We can add an extra window to the headboard and/or footboard and factory install the padding around the window.

Can I order pads after I have already received my bed?

Yes. but at a higher cost than if they were purchased at the time of the bed purchase. To retrofit padding, you will need to purchase a new mattress, to allow room for the padding, in addition to the padding.

Older models may need to have the foundation replaced as well. If you have any questions, call us toll-free at 866.852.2337.

How does the padding attach to a SleepSafe® Bed?

Industrial strength Velcro is used to secure the padding to a SleepSafe® Bed.

The safety rail pads are extended up and over the rails and attached on the outside. The headboard and foot boards pads extend just to the top of each and attach on the inside of the bed. The pads go right to the edge of the leg in the headboard and foot board.

Mattresses

How do I clean my SleepSafe® Bed mattress?

We recommend cleaning your SleepSafe® Bed mattress with a mild detergent and water using a soft cloth. An example would be using Dawn® Liquid Dish Detergent and water with a terry cloth. Please avoid any abrasives and solvents.

Can I buy just a mattress?

Yes, as a replacement for a SleepSafe® Bed mattress. We do not recommend using a SleepSafe® Bed mattress for other bed type. Our mattresses are designed and custom sized to fit inside a SleepSafe® Bed and may not be appropriate for other beds. Safety is our number one priority and our mattresses are designed to fits snugly within the wooden bed frame to reduce the chance of burrowing or entrapment.

If your SleepSafe® Bed was manufactured prior to 2009, and you are looking to replace your mattress, the size may be different, please call to confirm the size of the mattress for your bed 866-852-2337.

Do I need special sized sheets for a SleepSafe® Bed?

No. Standard Twin, Full and Queen sized sheets readily available at any department store will fit the appropriate SleepSafe® Bed.

What is the difference between a box spring and a bunkie board in a fixed foundation?

Each SleepSafe® Bed needs some type of foundation for the mattress to rest upon. With the Articulated and Hi Lo foundations, the mattress rests directly on the electric frame. With the Fixed foundation, you have a choice between a box spring or bunkie board for your mattress to lie upon. The only difference is that a bunkie board is 2 inches high and a box spring is 8 inches high.

When the goal is to maximize safety rail height above the mattress you will choose a bunkie board so that the mattress surface can be positioned 6 inches lower within the bed’s foundation. When the goal is to raise the mattress surface as far from the floor as possible, then you should choose a box spring so that the mattress will be positioned 6 inches higher. There is no price or comfort difference, only a height difference.

Is the mattress used on a SleepSafe® Bed waterproof?

No, our mattresses are not waterproof, they are water resistant. Please keep in mind, as with any nylon based material, it is not designed to withstand repeated, long standing fluid. Over time, if fluid is allowed to pool up on the surface it will eventually soak through.

SleepSafe® Beds use CertiPUR-US ® compliant foam products for our mattresses featuring gel technology. This support provides optimized pressure redistribution, rapid heat dissipation, and increases in breath-ability compared to standard foam.

If the mattress surface is subject to excessive fluid, it is highly recommended that you use an additional type of  waterproof or water-resistant protective cover over or around the mattress.

Insurance

Does health insurance pay for SleepSafe® Beds?

In most cases, when the bed is either prescribed by a physician or justified as Medically Necessary, health insurance may cover the bed as Durable Medical Equipment.

Your local Durable Medical Equipment (DME) provider can assist you in gathering the necessary documents to submit your health insurance claim. Please call us toll-free at 866-852-2337 if you need help in finding a local dealer near you.

Each State governs their own Medicaid  program within Federal Guidelines so the requirements will differ from state to state. If your Medicaid  claim has been denied, you may want to consider an appeal or to seek the advice of a legal advocate in your area. You can find out more information in “Insurance” section of our website.

Will my bed require prior authorization from my insurance company?

It all depends on your health insurance.

Most of the time your insurance company will require prior authorization. What this means is that your dealer will need to submit a claim, a prescription from your doctor and a Letter of Medical Necessity to justify the purchase. After submitting the claim, they must wait for the insurance company to approve the purchase, BEFORE they will move forward and order the bed from us.

On our website, under ‘Letters of Medical Necessity’ you will find useful information including several example letters of medical necessity, guidelines to write your own and a link to help you with the appeals process when needed.

What type of wood do you use when building a SleepSafe® Bed?

SleepSafe® Beds use premium veneer core hardwood plywood produced domestically on PureBond® formaldehyde-free veneer core platforms and carefully monitored for a controlled thickness range.

SleepSafe® Bed’s all wood hardwood plywood panels offer clear advantages over solid wood panel applications. These panels offer great stability and durability, reducing the chance of splitting or warping which are inherent with solid wood applications.

The 4 bed posts on a SleepSafe® Bed are composed of solid wood and are designed to match the your finish choice. For example, we use solid oak posts to complement an oak finish.

Can I buy a bed directly from SleepSafe® Beds?

We typically do not sell our beds directly to customers. Most SleepSafe® Beds are sold through a network of more than 3000 Durable Medical Equipment (DME) providers nationwide. These courteous, knowledgeable and trusted providers are set up to assist you with submitting an insurance claim, will make your bed purchase, accept delivery and deliver and install your bed at your home. They are an integral part of the process in acquiring a SleepSafe® Bed. We as the manufacturer are not set up to assist with insurance claims, nor can we bill on your behalf.

If we were able to sell a bed to an individual, we would require payment in full, in advance, before a bed shipped. You would incur an additional $275.00 for drop shipping a bed to a residence. The individual would have to accept responsibility for accepting delivery and installation. And most importantly, there would be no local representation for after sale service if needed. We strongly recommend, even someone who wants to pay cash, to go through a local DME provider.

If you need assistance finding a DME to help you through the process of purchasing a SleepSafe® Bed, please contact us at 866-852-2337.

At least once or twice a year, examine the bed and check all screws and fasteners for tightness. Over time through movement and use, a bolt may become loose. If you find a screw or bolt that is a bit loose, you can use a Allen wrench to tighten.

Be sure to ask your dealer at the time of installation to leave the Allen wrenches provide for bed assembly. You can use them at a later date should anything need tightening.

You can clean your bed with water and mild detergent using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasives and solvents.

I am moving. How do I move my SleepSafe® Bed?

It’s best to call your local dealer that helped you purchase the bed. They may be able to help you move your bed. Not all dealers offer this service and may charge a fee. There is also a pamphlet and video about moving your bed available in our website’s RESOURCES, under the CONTACT tab.

The most important thing is to be extremely careful to keep all nuts, bolts and small pieces together. The bed is actually quite easy to take apart and put back together if you take your time and stay organized.

My child’s medical needs have changed. Can I change the foundation?

Yes. Most SleepSafe® Bed foundations can be converted to another choice, depending on the year they were manufactured. Older beds, prior to 2009, may not be able to be converted. We will be happy to assist you. Give us a call toll-free at 866-852-2337 for more information about SleepSafe® Bed conversions.

To convert any SleepSafe Bed foundation, you will need to purchase a Conversion Kit from SleepSafe® Beds. This kit will include a new foundation and side panels. You will use your existing mattress, casters, safety rails, head and foot boards. Insurance may or may not cover the additional cost of the conversion kit. It may be necessary to submit another letter of medical necessity justifying the change. You will need to make the purchase through your local DME provider of SleepSafe Beds.

How can I find a Durable Medical Equipment (DME/HME) provider in my area?

Is the remote control for SleepSafe® Bed operation wired or wireless?

Current SleepSafe® Bed Hi-Lo and Articulated foundations use wired remote control. Older models used a wireless remote control.

Important  Note: Because older Articulated foundations have a wireless remote control that is operated through radio frequencies, you cannot have more than TWO articulated beds within a 500 foot area. We can program the remotes so they will not interfere with each other, but we can only program 2 beds. If more than two beds are needed in one location, you MUST be sure that they are far enough away from each other, otherwise, when you operate one remote control, it may adjust the other bed in a different room.
