Spacesaverbeds create a safe and calming place for a child to sleep and relax. Having the right product can make such a difference to a family's quality of life. Here's what the parent's have to say...

Night time became a Nightmare for the Mckinly family from the North of Scotland, as their son Callum, who’s seven and had been diagnosed with ADHD, struggled to sleep for long periods and as he had got older and bigger had got into the habit of getting out of bed and targeting areas in his bed room where he would continually kick the wall or furniture after lying on his back on the floor and make a lot of noise.

Mum, Shona, explained that this happened 4 or 5 times a night and had gone on virtually since Callum had outgrown his cot bed, then after the effort of getting Callum back into bed and settling him again several times a night it seemed as if we hadn’t been to bed. The knock on effect was that the whole family didn’t ever seem to be functioning as we should be. We often looked on the internet for information from parents in a similar position to us and started to identify beds for children like Callum, who didn’t sleep well and could be disruptive through night. The beds all seemed to be very expensive and after general discussion with other parents at Callum’s school it seemed getting funding would be unlikely. We then identified the Cloud Cuddle and read several reviews on the company’s Dutch website and found out it had just become available in the UK and the cost was a fraction of the other beds we had looked at. After contacting Callum’s Occupational Therapist, a trial of the Cloud Cuddle was arranged almost immediately. From night one Callum just loved being in the Cloud Cuddle and being enclosed never bothered him at all, in fact he enjoyed being in there as he sees it as his own personal space. When he wakes in the night he still makes some noise, but soon re settles himself and goes back to sleep. Callum’s OT arranged funding to purchase the product and it’s really changed all of our lives and, most importantly, Callum’s, who is a lot happier and generally a lot better behaved.

The Cloud Cuddle opens up the option for a first family holiday and proves a great success.

When the Grimsley family from Rugby read about the Cloud Cuddle Universal Bed Surround receiving high praise from families who have children with SN on a social media page and how it had opened up the option for them to go on holiday , they felt it might be the ideal solution to enable themselves to take their first family holiday. Their son, Leo, is a young man with a lot of energy and struggles to settle in his bed for long periods, so the option of a family holiday, ‘with the potential hazards there may be in unfamiliar surroundings’ was out of the question.

The family decided to visit the Kidz to Adultz Middle exhibition at the Coventry Arena in March to visit the Cloud Cuddle stand to look at, and discuss, how the Cloud Cuddle was assembled, it’s portability and enable Leo to get into the product to find out what his reaction would be to a potential new sleeping environment. Leo immediately took to the Cloud Cuddle and spent 15 minutes inside the product, after quite some persuasion agreed to get out of it to allow the family to continue their trip around the exhibition. The following day an order was placed by Leo’s mum, Jodie, for a Cloud Cuddle, which was despatched and with them the next day. A holiday to Devon was booked for June and the Cloud Cuddle delivered everything expected, taking up very little room in the family vehicle and was fitted to a single mattress in a matter of minutes at the holiday cottage. Leo, recognising the Cloud Cuddle from the exhibition, again got straight in and loved his own sleeping space and settled immediately, sleeping soundly - as did the rest of the family knowing Leo was safe and secure.

The Cloud Cuddle is a multi award winning - CE Marked - class 1 medical device. It’s tough, robust and durable and in just 5 minutes it can be fi tt ed to any single bed to create a safe and calming place for a child to sleep and relax. Huge cost saving compared to care cots & soft surround bed opti ons. Home assessments throughout the UK are available.
