One of the most important factors in achieving a better nights sleep is comfort. With this in mind it is important to consider the amount of actual sleep space you will have available on your new mattress. In general, the mattress should be longer and wider than the amount of space you or you and your sleeping partner take up when laying on it. For two adults it is recommended to sleep on a queen or king mattress size. The following illustrations are a general guide to help you make the best decision. Twin Mattress Size 39''x 75'' (inches) Twin bed size is generally made to accommodate one child or one adult sleeper. On occasion when you need to lay with your child it should accommodate, but will be a bit crowded. If you are a taller adult you may want to consider a twin-XL which will give you added length. Twin (also referred to a ‘single’) is great for smaller guest spaces, bunkbeds, and daybeds. Twin XL Mattress Size 39''x 80'' (inches) Twin XL bed size (Extra-Long) is 5 inches in length longer than the standard twin.
This size is great for taller youth or adults. Twin-XL is the same length as a queen or king, In fact two of them side by side equals a king. Full Mattress Size 54''x 75'' (inches) Full bed size, also known as a ‘double/standard’, was commonly used for two adults 30 - 40 years ago when the homes and bedrooms were built much smaller. Now it is usually purchased for single person use and sometimes smaller guest rooms. It is a tight fit for two adults and the same length as a twin. Two adults sleeping on a full size is equivalent to each person sleeping on a crib mattress (27 inches of sleep space). Most people with a sleeping partner opt for the queen size. Full can sometimes be special ordered in extra long. Queen Mattress Size 60''x 80'' (inches) Queen bed size is the most popular size sold. Great for two adults that want to save living space in their master bedroom and great for single use for those who just like to stretch out. King Mattress Size 76''x 80'' (inches)
King bed size (also known as an eastern king) is the same length as a queen but much wider (16 inches). If you have the space it offers the most room for couples. King size beds are also great if you have kids or pets who like to share your bed.

Our durable medical equipment (DME) safety beds have one distinct difference — the HEIGHT OF THE SAFETY RAIL PROTECTION above the mattress.
This choice should be made based on the activity level of the user. How active are they? How much safety rail above the mattress is needed? Can they sit up? Can they pull to kneel or stand in the bed? Keeping this in mind will help you and your doctor determine which bed is most appropriate. Also, you will need to order your bed padding. It is important to also consider . • The SleepSafe® – BASIC Bed transfer height is 21¼” with safety rail on. 19¼” with safety rail off. • The SleepSafe® – Low Bed transfer height is 21¼“ with safety rail on. 19¼“ with safety rail off. • The SleepSafe® II – Medium Bed transfer height is 31″ with safety rail on. 29½” safety rail off. • The SleepSafer® – Tall Bed transfer height is 25″ with safety rail on. 23½” with safety rail off.

When you line the 3 different beds side by side you will see that each one gets taller than the next. Every durable medical equipment (DME) SleepSafe® Bed includes a foundation that supports the mattress. The following foundations are available for SleepSafe® Safety Beds: Select the features and functions that will best suit your needs.The mattress will lie flat on a box spring or bunkie board. Depending on the bed model chosen, you will have more than one choice for positioning that fixed height at the time of installation. • The SleepSafe® – BASIC Bed offers 1 fixed height option. • The SleepSafe® – Low Bed offers 2 different fixed height options. • The SleepSafe® II – Medium Bed offers 2 different fixed height options. • The SleepSafer® – Tall Bed offers 2 different fixed height options. The height/positioning choice you make when installing the fixed foundation will determine the height of safety rail protection above the mattress.
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 fixed foundation at any time. 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″ more of safety rail protection. • offers four choices. The hand cranks use a hydraulic system and are easy to use with little effort by the operating caregiver. Note: The hand crank handles fold up into the handle’s shaft. This foundation features head and knee elevation by remote control. With the touch of a button, you can elevate the head and/or knee section of the bed. As in the Fixed foundation, there are more than one height positions to choose at time of installation. The height/positioning choice you make when installing the Articulated foundation will determine the height of safety rail protection above the mattress.
• HI-LO FOUNDATION offers a Hi-Lo electric frame as your foundation with FULL articulation. Not only does the head and knee section elevate, but the Hi-Lo feature allows the mattress surface to be raised or lowered by remote control. This is considered a fully electric bed. Depending on 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 will 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. With the Hi-Lo foundation, you can position the mattress anywhere within the range of motion of the frame. IMPORTANT NOTE: The Hi-Lo electric foundation has a WIRED remote control on a cord plugged into the bed and does NOT operate more than one bed. No problem to have multiple beds in one space.

Our beds are now sized and manufactured accordingly. It is important to make this determination when you order your bed as retrofitting your bed in the future will be costly. If you order padding, it will be installed at the factory and will cover ALL four sides. Padding only one or two sides is NOT an option. If you order padding with your bed, it is very important to NEVER use the bed if you have removed one or more of the pads. If you remove ANY of the pads, a gap will be created between the mattress and the sides of the bed potentially creating a risk for entrapment. Two colors of padding are currently available: Cream or Gray.
