The Plus Surround Bed is built in an extremely stable manner, being specially designed for children and adults with restless to very noticeable motor nerves. With these individuals it is not always primarily a question of implementing nursing and therapeutic measures in the bed, but rather of creating a safe environment for them, so as e.g. to exclude the possibility of them causing danger to themselves.
Above all it is suitable for these persons who, on account of mental deficiency, in part display a considerably retarded development. Their motor function is often determined by restlessness and insufficient goal-directedness. To protect them against physical harm, for example as a result of leaving the bed in an uncontrolled way, it is necessary to have these special beds with high lattice frames.
Plus also serves to encourage and facilitate proper motion. It is suitable for children who, in spite of illness and disability, possess sufficient motor competence to effect the transfer into and out of bed independently.

Testimonial from Mother of child
The Safe surround bed has changed our lives totally. For the first time in 8 years we (parents) are able to go to bed and wake up in our own bed. Our son has Angelman Syndrome which is known to involve a sleeping disorder. He is also epileptic and intellectually impaired. Many Angelman children have died during the night due to unmonitored activity.
I used to stay in the room with my child from the age of 2 years, to help settl him, put him back to bed, and to prevent him from injuries he could sustain by opening windows/cupboard doors. He has recently turned 10, and we have just received a Safe Surround bed. He loves this huge cot. It has helped to settle him as he no longer has the option of crawling off his bed to play (sometimes he would go on until 2am/3am... other times wake at 4am and play...) Now he stays tucked up from 9:30pm and falls asleep easily.
He generally sleeps through the night (never did before) waking at 7am. At last I am able to sleep in my own bed with my husband, without either of us worrying about what our son might be getting up to in his room while awake. We are so grateful for this equipment as it has given us a new lease of life.
Sleep deprivation places great strain on a marriage and on family relationships. We have two other children who are also enjoying our new 'relaxed' family and the less stressful and noisy night-time routine. Most of all, our son is much happier, as he too is benefitting from a better night's sleep.
