All SleepSafe® Bed safety rails are 14½ inches high except for the Basic Bed safety rails which measure 19½ inches high.
The SleepSafe® Extension Bed and the InSIGHT bed offer fully enclosed environments for maximum safety.
The “hard-sided” SleepSafe® Extension Bed adds 16¾″ of safety height to the SleepSafer® Bed. This development allows 53″ between the top of the mattress to the top of rail when using a bunkie board as a fixed foundation. It can be ordered with or without a securely fastened top.
The “soft-sided” InSIGHT offers a 360° See-through screen surround and top. The zippered access is 55” wide by 42” high.
More information about both beds, refer to the FLYERS section under the PRODUCTS tab.
The safety rails can be requested with plexiglass or mesh, however you wish.
If your child can reach over the safety rail and open the safety rail, it’s possible the rail height is too low. We offer conversion kits that increase the safety rail height for maximum safety. We also offer latch blocks that may be installed near the latch pin to deter your child from opening the safety rail. Call Customer Support to discuss your options at 866-852-2337.
SleepSafe® Beds manufactured after 2008 can be converted to another model, allowing for more safety rail protection.
A SleepSafe® Low Bed and SleepSafe® II Medium Bed can be converted to a SleepSafer® Tall Bed for more safety rail protection.
A SleepSafe II Medium Bed and a SleepSafer® Tall Bed can be retrofitted with an extension kit to offer additional height and more safety height protection. You can choose to have the top open or closed.
For conversions, work with your DME provider. If you have any questions, contact Customer Support at 866-852-2337.
Each SleepSafe® Bed safety rail, with cutout windows, weighs about 18 to 20 pounds depending on its finish. Solid safety rails, without windows, weigh about 25 pounds.
The top of the safety rail is attached by two latches at each end, located on the headboard and footboard bedposts. The bottom of the safety rail is supported by two hinge pins. When each side is manually unlatched, the safety rail will pivot down and rest on the side panel.
On the SleepSafe® Low Bed and SleepSafe® II Medium bed, the safety rails, when lowered, do not have to be removed.
For access into the SleepSafer® Tall Bed, first lower the bottom safety rail, then lower the top safety rail. While the top safety rail is in the lowered position, remove it by lifting it up and out from the hinge pins and set aside.
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.
The SleepSafe® Extension Bed has a fastener located on the side of the extension. To secure, flip the top safety rail up and lock it into position with the fastener.
All beds include safety rails with three plexiglass windows. The SleepSafe® Low Bed and SleepSafe® II Medium bed each have one safety rail on each side, allowing access to the mattress surface from both sides.
The SleepSafer® Tall bed has two safety rails that are tiered, one on top of the other. Bed access is only allowed on one side. The back side is a wood panel.
When access to both sides is required, a “Dual View” option is available. The bed will be manufactured with 4 safety rails, two tiered on each side.
