4 Standard Sizes Plus Custom Options
Choose from our Mini (single), 3/4 Twin (narrow double), Midi (double) and Maxi (2m x 2m) pods, or talk to us about a custom size to suit your room and your child's needs.
We can help you match bed size to age, height, sensory-seeking behaviour and room layout so you get the safest, calmest setup from day one.
Maxi2m x 2m
The Maxi has the internal size of 2m x 2m, in the home it provides a safe environment that is big enough for both sleep and day time play. In schools it can be used as a free standing safe play room, therapy area or furnished with sound and lights as a sensory room.
Midi2m x 1.4m
The Midi has an internal size of 2 x 1.4m and is available in three different wall heights 1.4,, 1.7 and 2 meters. Whether it’s reading a story, helping them get to sleep or when they’re ill, a bit of space to share the bed is always handy. The Midi will fit into most rooms and still offer some room for storage.
3/42m x 1.2m
The 3/4 has an internal size of 2 x 1.2m and is available in three different wall heights 1.4,, 1.7 and 2 meters. With its wider mattress it is a great size for the adult who needs a bigger bed but doesn’t quite have the room for a Midi. Due to the Safe & Sound design the 3/4 is available with both Hi-lo and profiling.
Mini1.9 x 0.9m
The Mini has an internal size of 1.9m x 0.9m and is available in 1.4m , 1.7m and 2 meters wall heights. The Mini provides a single bed sized space that fits into all but the smallest of rooms. It is ideal where the intended use is for a safe sleep area, leaving the rest of the room available for play and storage. The Mini is available with Hi-Lo function.
CustomUp to 2m x 2m
Sometimes none of our standard size safe environments will fit into the available space. If this happens we can custom make a pod to fit the space you have, up to 2m (79″) long in any one dimension. Custom sizes do however cost slightly more and our emergency next day replacement fabric service is not available due to its custom size.
Standard Safety Features on Every Safe & Sound Pod
Every Safe & Sound Pod includes key features to keep sensory‑seeking children safer at night while maintaining a comfortable, low‑sensory environment.
Extra‑tough kick‑zone panel at the bottom of the bed to withstand repeated kicking, stamping and bouncing.
Zip‑out wall panel that can be rolled up and secured with magnetic catches for easier access, cuddles and care.
Soft padded toe‑stub in a choice of colours to protect toes and feet from hard edges.
High and low level mesh ventilation panels to keep fresh air flowing through the pod while maintaining an enclosed, safe space.
Fully padded internal corners available in hundreds of design options to cushion impacts and personalise the bed.
Custom Features to Match Your Child's Needs
Profiling
Our unique profiling feature is available on the Mini (single‑size) Safe & Sound Pod. It allows the mattress platform to be raised at the head or feet while keeping all sides soft, enclosed and free from entrapment gaps – ideal for reflux, breathing issues or complex care needs.
Hi‑Lo
Our super‑stable Hi‑Lo unit can be added to any Safe & Sound Pod – at the time of order or later on. This allows carers to raise and lower the whole bed, making moving and handling, personal care and medical tasks safer and easier, while still keeping the user inside their familiar safe space bed.
Castors / Static and Fixing Options
All Safe & Sound Pods are built on an integral plinth with adjustable feet, allowing the bed to be set to three different heights. Beds can be:
used as a free‑standing special needs bed, or
fixed to the floor to comply with UK Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) requirements where needed.
Customise the Look With 1000s of Design Options
We offer thousands of fabric and panel design options so your Safe & Sound Pod can be as calm or colourful as you need it to be. You can choose:
simple, low‑sensory designs to create a very calming bedroom, or
patterns that reflect your child's favourite colours, characters or hobbies.
We'll help you strike the right balance between a visually soothing autism‑friendly bedroom and a bed that feels personal and welcoming.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Safe & Sound Pod suitable for autistic children who head‑bang or jump?
+
Yes – the Safe & Sound Pod is designed as a fully padded safe space bed for sensory‑seeking children who head‑bang, rock, jump or throw themselves around at night. The extra‑tough kick‑zone, padded corners and enclosed sides help reduce injury risk and keep them safely contained while they sleep.
What size Safe & Sound Pod should I choose for my child?
+
We usually recommend the Mini (single) for younger, fully mobile sensory‑seeking children, as it creates a calmer, lower‑sensory sleep space with less room for high‑impact jumping. Larger sizes like the 3/4 Twin, Midi (double) and Maxi (2m x 2m) may be appropriate for older children, teens or complex care situations – our team can advise based on your child's needs and room layout.
Can the Safe & Sound Pod be funded through a Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG)?
+
Many families obtain funding for a Safe & Sound Pod through a Disabled Facilities Grant or other local authority and health funding routes, depending on clinical need and local criteria. We can provide detailed specifications and quotes to support applications and work alongside your Occupational Therapist or housing team.
