Choosing a bed for challenging behaviour
Most beds are designed to offer those who sleep in them high-quality rest. However, some sleeping solutions are required to answer a greater challenge - keeping their users safe and secure overnight. For this reason, there are contract beds and mattresses currently available that have been constructed with consideration to the requirements of people with special needs. From tamper-proof mattresses to robust beds made of metal or wood these tailored options can be ideal for those with autism and other psychiatric conditions.
In the following post, we’ll explore just some of the solutions available that might suit your needs.
Well-engineered mental health beds
The Wyoming platform bed provides a firm foundation that’s built to endure with extra thick side and cross bars crafted from steel. Available with robust heavy duty wooden slats or powerful premium welded mesh this reinforced bed comes with a lifetime guarantee offering purchasers complete peace of mind.
Wooden options like the Robust Box bed can be ideal beds for autism and can even be fixed to the floor if required for extra security. These hardwearing beds have been designed so no part of them can be used to conceal items and both foot and headboards benefit from rounded corners to avoid sleepers inflicting harm on themselves.
Many reinforced wooden beds like the Robust Box Bed are crafted from MDF covered in melamine as this can provide a far sturdier combination than conventional timber and pegboard options.
Protective heavy-duty mattresses
Mattresses are available that offer no way for their sleeper to harm themselves and cope with other overnight issues such as severe incontinence. Sometimes referred to as anti-vandal mattresses, these solutions ship with a wipe-clean waterproof covering and have no external elements that can be removed, and no available access within. Additionally, these mattresses benefit from testing to the British Safety Standard for fire safety.
