Which SleepSafe® bed height is right?
Choose by how the person moves at night. The SleepSafe® LOW (35¾” floor-to-rail) suits users who roll or slide out of bed; the SleepSafe® II MEDIUM (45¾”) suits users who sit up or kneel; the SleepSafer® TALL (54¾”) suits active climbers; and the SleepSafe® Extension (72″, with an optional top) is for determined climbers. The therapist or doctor writing the letter of medical necessity should explain why the chosen height is needed.
Can the bed be raised for caregivers?
Yes. Manual and electric HI-LO foundations raise and lower the mattress for transfers and care. The specification tables below list the mattress and rail heights for each foundation.
What paperwork does insurance need?
Usually a prescription (written order) from the treating doctor, a letter of medical necessity, recent clinical notes and a copy of the insurance card. The letter should explain the diagnosis, the safety risks during sleep, what has already been tried, and how the bed will be used and supervised. You can upload documents with your eligibility request, or send them later.
