Although the choice of the most suitable model can only be made after a study of each individual situation, it is possible to give a few examples. general indications according to the main types of disability.

Muscular hypotonia, polyhandicap, psychomotor retardation, Rett syndrome, syndrome d'Angelman: adapted beds

When a child moves little or not at all, there are 3 main points to bear in mind for choosing an adapted bed :
- to maintain visual contact with everything around the child, the walls of the bed must be transparent (Plexiglas) or equipped with barsif possible on all 4 sides, like our models Luna or Thomas.
- the quality of mattresses is essential, as the child will rely on it for a large part of his life. of the day.
- a electric control to lift the slatted base or the whole bed, to make it easier to get in and out of bed. change, care and sharing, and also help to relieve some of the burden on the family. the mattress (chest or legs).

When the child can crawl, check that the bed base is lowered. the as low as possible to enable the child to become more autonomous by avoiding any accident.

Huntington's disease or Huntington's chorea, epilepsy, violent seizures, self-mutilation: adapted beds

The priority in these cases is to ensure the child's safety. It must be possible to close the bed with doors fitted with bars or Plexiglas panels, reinforced with safety bars. To prevent the child from injuring itself, the bed must be fitted with interior padding. The doors should also be high enough to prevent the child from climbing over them (some models are also closed above).

Autism, ASD: adapted beds.

The bed with doors is ideal for creating a reassuring environment, similar to a hut or refuge. Beds with a fabric surround (such as our Cocoon and Tipi models or the Noé travel cot) have a similar effect. If the autistic disorder is accompanied by violent seizures, the aspects mentioned in the previous paragraph should also be taken into account.

Beds with fabric surrounds are perceived as "enveloping".
