They look more like furniture than institutional hospital beds, and better sleep promotes both physical and mental health. These beds are made to accommodate children who are medically fragile or who have medical conditions like Down syndrome, developmental disabilities, Angelman syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, and ADHD.
