The Big Friendly Bed

The Big Friendly Bed is designed for children who require a safe, secure, and calming environment to sleep. Ideal for children with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) and other conditions that necessitate a safe and enclosed sleeping space, this bed ensures peace of mind for both children and carers.

Many children, including those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), challenging behaviours, and other conditions, find comfort and security in the Big Friendly Bed. The high-sided design creates a soft and enclosed environment that helps reduce distractions, promoting relaxation and better sleep. This low-stimulation space is especially beneficial for children who may become agitated or restless in more open sleeping arrangements.

For carers, the Big Friendly Bed provides a reliable and secure solution that not only ensures the child’s safety but also offers peace of mind. The bed’s design and features make it easier for carers to manage the child’s sleep routine, knowing that the child is secure and comfortable throughout the night.

Key Features of The Big Friendly Bed:

• Customisable Size: Available in a variety of sizes, with standard lengths of 180cm, 190cm, and 200cm. Custom sizes can be made to suit your child’s specific needs.
• Safety and Security: Designed to provide a secure sleeping environment for children with sleep, behavioural, or safety concerns.
• Hygienic & Easy to Clean: Made with materials that are simple to maintain and ensure a long-lasting, hygienic solution.
• UK-Made: Manufactured in the UK, ensuring that support for both the bed’s frame and the clients is readily available.
• Durability & Value: A reliable bed built to last, offering exceptional value for money.

Optional Extras:

The Big Friendly Bed can be fully customised with the following options:

• Sides: Choose between polycarbonate with spindles or solid wood. We can manufacture the bed to any specific requirements.
• Profiling Bed Base (4-piece profiling): Back and leg profiling that sits inside the bed, allowing for added comfort and flexibility.
• Specialist Padding: Available in a range of heights, we can adjust the padding size and even cut windows into the padding if needed.
• Handles: Fixed handles or removable handles (to prevent accidental opening by siblings).
• Strengthening Bar: A wooden bar that runs along the door side, from the headboard to the footboard, providing additional reinforcement in cases where the child may push or hit the doors.
• Step-in Height Adjustments: Customised to suit your preferred height, making it easier for both the child and carer to access the bed.
