Being stuck at home all day every day is tough on the whole family and a good nights sleep is particularly important so that everyone can feel refreshed and ready to go the following day.

The range of beds and safe sleeping environments for children with special needs from Safespaces can offer exactly that.

Check out some of the options below and get in touch with any questions you have by email or phone.

Some of the most popular Safespace Beds

The Safespace

The Safespace is designed for those with autism, epilepsy, behaviours which challenge and profound multiple learning difficulties, including those with full mobility. It provides an extremely robust space that can be kicked, punched and head-butted. It can withstand the roughest treatment by both children and adults and provides a space in which someone can sleep, move, roll or play freely, reducing the risk of injury by eliminating hard surfaces.

Features

Each Safespace is custom-made, with a door and window, aligned with the door and window of your own room. This allows for the use of curtains, light fittings, radiators and electric sockets, television, music and sensory equipment. This helps to create a light airy, comfortable space, much more attractive and versatile than conventional room padding. The walls of the Safespace are positioned 25cm away from any hard surfaces and flex out on impact, removing the risk of injury from hard surfaces, such as walls, radiator, in the room. The floor has 75mm of foam under it, which absorbs much of the impact from anyone falling or landing heavily on it. This is adequate for most Safepace users and provides a surface which is stable enough to walk on. If the Safespace could be used by someone who is likely to intentionally bang their head on the floor with a lot of force without wearing protective headgear, we would recommend the provision of a 75mm floor mat inside the Safepace. Room sizes need to be at least 50cms (20") wider than the Safespace to allow the walls to flex out safely.

Cosyfit

The Cosyfit is used mainly as a safe bed for those at risk of falling or hurting themselves on metal or wooden bed surrounds.  Its soft, high sides, open top and large viewing panel create a comfortable sleep area. The large soft window on one or both sides allows light in and creates a sense of space whilst allowing the user to watch television or enjoy sensory equipment, this also helps with communication and reduces the feeling of isolation or containment experienced by those in beds with very high sides. Users will often seek it out at other times too, to relax or play - a place to feel safe in. The Cosyfit provides much needed peace of mind for carers and parents, reducing anxieties about injuries from falls, rolling and seizures. Noise levels are reduced as there are no hard surfaces to bang on. The Cosyfit can be quickly and easily dismantled for storage, making it ideal for respite centres and care homes.

Features

• 3 reinforced padded side panels and 1 opening side with a mattress as standard.
• Can be pushed against a wall where space is limited.
• Front panel can be fully opened and fastened to the side, providing a large open area.
• The low floor makes it easy to step into.
• Easy to dismantle and store.
• Can be used with a ceiling track hoist or adapted for use with a mobile hoist.

Voyager portable model

A safe, transportable bed for holidays and trips away from home when the time comes! The Voyager is often used by those who already rely on Safespaces products. It is suitable for respite care and for those who are uncomfortable in unfamiliar surroundings or are used to a safe room

Features

The Voyager is a free-standing structure consisting of a robust, but lightweight, aluminium frame, from which the soft sides can flex out on impact, requiring a clearance of 30cm (12”) from any hard surface. It has an integral PVC netting roof, with standing room inside. It comes with a system of water-filled ballast bags which create additional stability. A securely fitted inflatable mattress (with pump included), provides a comfortable, but easily transportable base. Several fun viewing panels and the white PVC netting walls, allow carers to see in, and help to create a sense of space for the person inside. The Voyager packs up into 2 transport bags each measuring 117cm x 38cm x 30cm (46” x 15” x 12”). They weigh 20kg and 15kg respectively, total weight 35kg. It is supplied with complete assembly instructions on paper and DVD. With practice, the Voyager can be assembled in 10 minutes.

Safespace Siesta

Safespace Siesta is a versatile, strong and comfortable high-sided sleep area, suitable for those with limited mobility The Siesta is designed for those who may have a lot of movement and strength, but are unable or disinclined to pull up or climb over the high sides. The customisable design makes it suitable for those with complex or varying nursing needs and those requiring a hoist. Its robust ‘flex-out’ sides can be kicked, punched, head-butted or rocked against, and help keep a person safe from injuries and from falling against hard surfaces for example during seizures.

Features

The Siesta is made with the same heavy duty PVC fabric as all our products, supported on a strong frame and base. The walls flex out to absorb impact and so require a clearance of 25cm (10”) from any hard surface. The Siesta can be jet washed, or the fabric can be easily removed for steam-cleaning, to support infection control. Opening panels can be zipped open and clipped back, or rolled up for ease of access. Viewing panels allow in light, create a sense of space, and facilitate observation and communication between client and carer, which can be restricted by other designs of high sided beds. A viewing panel at the foot end can allow the client to watch television or enjoy sensory products. The Siesta has a raised platform to accommodate mobile hoisting and an open top to accommodate ceiling track hoisting. The Siesta comes with a 15cm (6”) mattress as standard.
