Beds by George Slumber Series Safety Bed – Standard Side (Single Door)

Safe, Comfortable Sleep Support for Individuals with Special Needs

The Beds by George Slumber Series Standard Side is a specialized safety bed designed for individuals with special needs, nighttime wandering behaviors, or medical care requirements. The standard side door system rises 20" above the mattress with single doors on both sides of the bed, providing caregiver access from either side for transfers, repositioning, and linen changes without having to walk around. Each bed is handbuilt by Amish craftsmen using a combination of solid wood and high-quality engineered wood, then finished in Amish-certified EPA-friendly stains or catalyzed conversion paint — so it looks like furniture, not medical equipment.

Five model configurations let you match the bed exactly to the occupant's mobility, medical, and positioning needs: from a simple fixed bunkie board for standard sleep support, through manual head and head-and-foot adjustment, to semi-electric and fully electric hi-lo with full articulation for complex medical care at home.

Features and Benefits

• 20" single door system with doors on both sides for bilateral caregiver access
• Five configurations: fixed, manual head, manual head and foot, semi-electric, and full electric hi-lo with articulation
• Handbuilt by Amish craftsmen using solid wood and high-quality engineered wood for lasting durability
• Available in 5 Amish-certified wood stains (Natural Oak, Fruitwood, Michael's Cherry, Asbury, Rosewood) and 3 paint finishes (White, Black, Pewter)
• Comes standard with full frame, bunkie board, and medical-grade mattress with stretch nylon, anti-microbial, fluid-resistant cover
• Optional gel-infused foam mattress for increased pressure redistribution and heat dissipation
• Accessories available: clear view door panels, sensory-reducing tinted panels, padded interior, casters, IV poles, access ports, head/foot windows, and mesh enclosure canopy
• Lower profile enclosure than the Hi-Side model — well suited when less containment height is needed or bilateral access is a priority
• Residential aesthetic designed to blend into home bedroom settings rather than appear institutional

Perfect For

Families and Home Caregivers: Doors on both sides mean either caregiver or parent can access the bed without repositioning themselves — particularly helpful in tight bedroom layouts or for two-caregiver transfers.

Occupational and Physical Therapists: The SS150-D manual dual-adjustment and SS180 full articulation models support positioning protocols and head-of-bed elevation for therapeutic sleep postures.

Nursing and Respite Care Settings: The electric models (SS180-S and SS180) accommodate complex medical care needs including hi-lo height adjustment and full articulation, reducing caregiver strain during transfers.

Procurement and Funding Specialists: Beds by George supports insurance documentation and provides specification sheets for prior authorization. Contact your dealer for clinical justification support and insurance letters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Standard Side and the Hi-Side Slumber Series?
The Standard Side door system rises 20" above the mattress and has single doors on both sides of the bed, allowing access from either side. The Hi-Side rises 32" with a bifold door on one side only. Choose the Standard Side when bilateral access is a priority or a lower enclosure height is sufficient; choose the Hi-Side when greater containment is needed.

Which model should I choose if the occupant needs head elevation for reflux or respiratory support?
Model SS150 or SS150-D provides manual head (and foot) adjustment. For powered adjustment, model SS180-S (semi-electric) or SS180 (full electric hi-lo articulation) are appropriate. Consult your occupational therapist or physician to determine the right configuration.

Can the Mattress Hold Down System be added to any model?
No. The Mattress Hold Down System is compatible with the SS100 (fixed surface, bunkie board) model only. It is not compatible with adjustable or electric deck configurations.

Can the bed be customized with accessories?
Yes. Beds by George offers a range of accessories including clear view or sensory-reducing tinted door panels, padded interior liners, casters for repositioning, IV poles, access ports for tubing, head and footboard windows, and a mesh enclosure canopy for additional overhead safety. Consult your dealer to determine which accessories are appropriate and whether they affect cost.

Is insurance coverage available for this bed?
Beds by George provides documentation to support insurance prior authorization. Some accessories, such as the gel-infused mattress, may require additional clinical justification. Contact your dealer or visit the Beds by George insurance resources page for letter templates and requirements information.

What finishes are available, and are they safe?
All stains are Amish-certified, EPA-friendly, and meet KCMA and AFMA requirements. Paint finishes use a catalyzed conversion two-part process. Finish options include five wood stains (Natural Oak, Fruitwood on Oak, Michael's Cherry on Oak, Asbury on Oak, Rosewood on Oak) and three paints (White, Black, Pewter).
