The fancy new bed

Brayden's new bed arrived. It is a hospital bed made to not look like a hospital bed, the Sleepsafe bed.

Brayden had a test drive in it. The entire bed can go up and down; head, up and down; feet up and down. It also has the rails on the side to keep him safe.

He will be sleeping with his head only slightly elevated, not as much as it is in the picture...I just had to try it out!

We have waited many, many months for this bed (insurance denials, lots of letters from doctors, etc.). I have not even purchased any bedding for it yet (the picture just shows the mattress). So Brayden is sleeping in his crib until I get it situated.

LOVE it!! We are trying to get this same bed for the kids - with the low mattress and high sides to keep them in. Did you go through REP?

That is wonderful! I am so glad that it finally came. I hope Brayden loves it and gets some great sleep!

Wow...that is pretty impressive!

I imagine it must have a hefty price tag?
If insurance denied it, did you get funding from another source?
Just curious as to how one gets that for the home?
