Product Description
The Big Friendly Bed is designed for children who require a safe, secure, and calming environment to sleep. Ideal for children with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) and other conditions that necessitate a safe and enclosed sleeping space, this bed ensures peace of mind for both children and carers.
Many children, including those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), challenging behaviours, and other conditions, find comfort and security in the Big Friendly Bed. The high-sided design creates a soft and enclosed environment that helps reduce distractions, promoting relaxation and better sleep. This low-stimulation space is especially beneficial for children who may become agitated or restless in more open sleeping arrangements.
For carers, the Big Friendly Bed provides a reliable and secure solution that not only ensures the child’s safety but also offers peace of mind. The bed’s design and features make it easier for carers to manage the child’s sleep routine, knowing that the child is secure and comfortable throughout the night.

Optional Extras:
The Big Friendly Bed can be fully customised with the following options:

- Specialist Padding: Available in a range of heights, we can adjust the padding size and even cut windows into the padding if needed.
