What's difference between Cubby Basic vs. Cubby Plus?

Cubby Plus and Cubby Basic are the same bed with ONE big difference. Cubby Plus has the tech hub integrated into the canopy of the bed. Features of the tech hub include a camera, circadian light, 2-way mics, environmental sensors, a soothing speaker, etc. These are beneficial features that provide remote monitoring and soothing sensory inputs for your loved one. Cubby Basic does not come with a technology hub at all. This is the reason the Cubby Basic is at a lower price point as well. Every Cubby Bed order (either variation) approved by Insurance/Medicaid comes with the bed frame, tensioned canopy, safety sheets (2), aromatherapy sleep spray, and a mattress. If you’re planning to purchase out of pocket, the Cubby does not include a mattress. We offer quality mattresses that you can add on to your purchase or you are welcome to use another full-size mattress as long as it is 8′ to 10′ thick. Click here to view our available mattresses!

How long does it take to set up/disassemble the bed?

The bed typically takes one adult 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to set up. Having another person as a helping hand will speed things up. Our personal set up record is 27 minutes!

What tools will I need?

We supply all the tools you need to set this up. And by all the tools, we mean 2 Hex keys. 🙂

How hard is it to move?

The assembled bed without a mattress will weigh around 100 lbs., is very stable, and is too large to move around. Two adults can lift it to move it within a room. If you’re moving houses or rooms within the house, we recommend you disassemble the bed first then reassemble it in your desired location. If requested, we do offer wheels for the feet of the bed that enable movement and also have locking brakes.

What are the age, height and weight restrictions of the bed?

The Cubby Bed can be used by any age but most doctors recommend that babies do not transition from a crib into their regular bed until they are at least 3 years old. The Bed uses a full-size mattress that is 75” long and 54” wide. This should accommodate most adults. The Bed can support up to 1000 lbs.

What kind of mattress will work?

To utilize the Safety Sheets, you must have a mattress that is between 8 – 10 inches thick. Anything larger than that will not work with the required Safety Sheets. We offer 2 mattresses that are a perfect fit for your Cubby. You do not need a box spring either! Our mattress slats will work with any mattress.

What’s included with my Cubby Bed order?

Your Cubby Bed comes with everything your kiddo will need to have a safe sleep! The Cubby Plus includes: Technology Hub: Light, Speaker, Camera, and iOS/Android Apps Canopy Steel Frame Poles & Connectors Mattress Slats Mattress: included with insurance coverage, extra if private pay Two (2) Safety Sheets Removable Pocket Removable Window/Door Straps Steel Ring Holes: at the head/foot of the bed for cords, feeding tubes, etc. Wheels or Permanent Foot Mounts (optional) The Cubby Basic includes all of the above except for the technology hub and the optional wheel/floor mounts.

Bed Frame Troubleshooting

The Cubby Bed can be assembled by a single person in about 90 minutes. Having 2 people working on the bed will make things easier. Below is an item list of what comes with every Cubby Bed order for reference. There is also an item list in the Assembly Guide included with the Cubby Bed. Make sure you have all the pieces you need before assembling! 1. Poles #1 Top End (2) #2 Vertical Corners (4) #3 Bottom Length (4) #4 Bottom End (2) #5 Top Arch (4) 2. Connectors #6 Arch Connectors (2) #7 Length Connector (2) #8 Top Corner Connector (4) #9 Bottom Corner L Connector (2) #10 Bottom Corner R Connector (2) 3. Canopy Dual fabric + mesh Canopy enclosure (1) 4. Safety Sheets Innovative microfiber zipper sheet (2) 5. Blue Accessories Eyes (4) Ears (4) Feet (4) 6. Hardware Screws (32) S-Clips (3) Locks (2) Hex Key Velcro Straps (4, to secure slats to the frame) Helpful Tips 1. Mattress slats don’t fit on the frame This is typically caused when the poles and connectors are not fully pushed together. Loosening the corner connectors and pushing all poles in as much as possible will help make sure there is no extra space. A fully assembled frame will measure 87 in L x 54 in W x 72 in H when completed correctly. 2. Canopy is too tight If you are having trouble zipping the Canopy around the frame, you may have a couple of poles not fully pushed together. Checking each connector and pushing in the corresponding pole as much as possible may help give you a bit more slack for the canopy. This is the most common reason for the tight canopy and is the most efficient troubleshooting tip. The doors may be tight for the first few times. Try unzipping all the entry points of the Cubby (the 3 doors) and see if this slack allows for the canopy to zip onto the frame. Stretching the canopy can help the material relax around the frame as the canopy uses a unique tension padding design. To see how to do this, check out our videos here. 3.

Where are Cubby Beds made?

Cubby Beds are proudly designed and assembled in Colorado, USA.

What are the materials?

The Frame The frame is made from galvanized and powder-coated steel for long-term durability. The Fabric Our fabric is a solution-dyed acrylic that is ultra-tough and stain resistant. No chemical flame retardants have been added to the fabric ensuring it’s safe for your kiddo. The fabric meets or exceeds the following flame retardancy standards: California Technical Bulletin 117-2013 Class 1; NFPA 260:2013 Class 1; UFAC 1990 The Tech Hub Our integrated Tech Hub is provided by leading electronics manufacturers.

What happens if the fabric rips?

Although our canopies are made from an ultra-tough fabric, accidents do happen. As soon as you see a rip, discontinue use and carefully remove the canopy from the frame to prevent further tears. Contact us immediately and we will support you through the next steps.

What if my kiddo wets the bed?

Accidents happen! The good news is that the safety sheets can be machine washed. If the side walls are affected, it is best to spot clean by blotting with a clean dry cloth for small messes. You can use diluted bleach to sanitize if needed. We also offer an additional accessory to protect the mattress and prolong its life if you’re interested!

Can I disinfect with bleach?

You can spot clean with bleach on the grey fabrics without risking any color damage. The pockets, edges, and straps may have minor color changes but their integrity will not be affected.

Can I machine wash the canopy?

We recommend that you hand wash or spot clean the canopy but in case of a big bedroom disaster, you can machine wash it. Keep in mind to close all zippers first when washing. Machine wash in cold water on the delicate cycle with normal amounts of mild laundry detergent. Allow fabric to air dry.

How do I dry the canopy?

The canopy can only be air-dried. A clothesline is ideal but you can also hang it over a stand or on the Cubby Bed frame. Please do not put it in the dryer as it may damage the zippers and seams.

How do I clean the canopy?

Accidents happen… luckily your canopy has tough stain-fighting abilities! With a new spill or stain on your canopy, blot (don’t rub) liquid spills with a clean, dry cloth. For oil-based spills, apply an absorbent such as corn starch, then remove it with a straight edge. Spray on a mild cleaning solution of soap (such as Dawn or Woolite) and water. Rinse the fabric thoroughly to remove all soap residue. Air dry. If that doesn’t fully remove the stain, apply a solution of water and mild dish soap again, and then use a sponge or soft bristle brush to agitate the stained area. Blot the stain dry with a clean cloth.

What are the safety features of a Cubby?

The Cubby has 4 essential safety features: The safety sheet Tension padding Remote monitoring Securing zipper pockets on all entry points In this article, you will learn the importance of each feature and how they support keeping your kiddo safe. Safety Sheet A critical feature of the Cubby is that it eliminates the risk of entrapment and burrowing. The innovative design exceeds the FDA’s 7 Zones of Entrapment guidelines and provides far more safety than traditional beds. Each Cubby Bed comes with a set of two (2) sheets that integrate and secure into the side walls of the canopy to keep your kiddo safe. They’re made of breathable microfiber and are available. Tension Padding The Cubby Bed does not use any foam or padding as this stuff can be harmful and toxic to not only the environment but more importantly, your kiddo. Instead, we’ve opted for a unique design in our canopy that we like to refer to as ‘Tension Padding’. The tension comes from the fabric used in the canopy being tautly stretched across our custom frame. It truly allows for a safe place during moments when your kiddo needs to release energy or cannot control their movements by cocooning them safely inside the Cubby Bed. A securing zipper pocket at each entry point A feature designed specifically for those little Houdinis who seem to escape their rooms no matter what! Our zipper pocket allows you to safely secure your kiddo inside with peace of mind that they will remain in the Cubby Bed throughout the night. This feature is very beneficial to ease the concerns of families who have children that elope. Remote monitoring From a phone or tablet, moms and dads far and wide can check in on their kiddo to ensure they are safe and sound. The Tech Hub includes a 1080p camera that offers night vision, a feature for recording, and an option for a customizable grid that can track large movements inside the Cubby Bed. There is an app to set up notifications as well. If your child is up late, jumping around in their bed – you can receive a notification about that! There is also a 2-way mic inside the camera. Being able to remotely speak to your kiddo enables you to calm them down during harder-to-handle meltdowns and safely soothe them inside of their Cubby Bed. It also can be used to greet your child each morning before entering their room to provide them with a little independence if that is what your child needs. The wonderful thing is that all of these features are customizable to serve the unique needs of each child who has a Cubby!

What are the features of a Cubby Bed that helps with sleep?

The Cubby has 3 essential features that can help provide better sleep to your family. These include the following: Tech Hub Circadian Light Soothing Speaker Canopy Blocks Light Muffles Sounds Accessories on CubbyBeds.com Mattress Weighted Blanket In this article, you will learn more info on how these features can provide your family with happier days and calmer nights. Tech Hub The Tech Hub is an additional accessory of the Cubby Bed that can provide brighter mornings and better nights to you and your family! Two main features that can help with sleep include the Circadian Light and a Soothing Speaker. The Circadian Light fades in or out like a sunset which provides a signal that it is time to relax and sleep. Also, the extended use of Circadian Light can improve your kiddos’ natural circadian rhythm! On the other hand, the Soothing Speaker provides a calming environment and masks unwanted noise with pre-loaded nature sounds and white noise. There is also an option to connect your phone or tablet to play your child’s favorite music, sounds, or sleep stories via the aux input. Canopy The breathable canopy has two main features that help with sleep, as it blocks light and muffles sounds. Studies show that the absence of light can help with sleep because it helps regulate the production of the hormone melatonin . Melatonin is produced in the brain and helps regulate sleep-wake cycles. Having the Cubby Bed’s fabric canopy doors enclosed creates a dark environment which then helps your child’s body to produce more melatonin and promote better sleep. In addition to this, the canopy can also limit any outside noise that can cause possible disturbance to your child while he/she sleeps. By muffling sounds, you can create a quieter, more peaceful environment that is more conducive to sleep for your child. Accessories on CubbyBeds.com Two great accessories of Cubby Beds that support a good night’s sleep for your loved ones are the mattress and the weighted blanket. The gel memory foam mattress offers a great sleep experience. It also gives all-day support and a plush but firm feel. In addition, the mattress has a high-quality top layer of memory foam that gently contours to your loved one’s curves for exceptional pressure point relief. A gel swirl treatment draws heat away to provide a temperature-neutral environment. Another amazing accessory that can help your child sleep soundly and peacefully is the weighted blanket . Findings show that people who use a weighted blanket often notice they stay asleep longer, have fewer disruptions to their sleep, and experience overall improved sleep. Some reports say it helps people, especially kids, to fall asleep faster. Another thing is that the weighted blanket increases serotonin which impacts the sleep-wake cycle. The blanket regulates sleep stages and impacts the depth of sleep. Cubby Bed’s weighted blanket also helps in cocooning your kiddos which reduces movements during the night, leading to a more restful sleep.

What are the sensory features of a Cubby Bed?

This article will provide more context on the sensory regulation features of a Cubby Bed. Such features include the following: Tech Hub Circadian light Speaker with a sound machine Canopy Dual fabric doors + mesh Muffles sounds and customizes light input The Cubby Bed’s Tech Hub has great sensory features. The light from the Circadian Light fades out like a sunset which provides a psychological cue for kiddos to relax and sleep. In the same manner, the light slowly turns on like a sunrise which cues them that it is time to wake up. Extended use of circadian light has the ability to improve your kiddos’ natural circadian rhythm! How cool is that? Another sensory feature included with the Circadian Light is a built-in sound machine ! This provides a customized calming environment unique to your child’s needs as well as muffles unwanted noise. There is also the option to connect your phone or tablet to play your child’s favorite music, sounds, or sleep stories via the aux input. Parents know their kids the best — the Tech Hub is optional. The Cubby Basic is the option without the Tech Hub and includes a cover in its place that is made from the same durable fabric as the rest of the canopy. One of the amazing sensory benefits of the Cubby Bed’s canopy is its Dual fabric doors . Each door has a heavy-duty mesh. The customized doors help in controlling light and darkness inside the bed. Also, the heavy-duty mesh and overall canopy limit the outside noise that cause possible disturbance to your child.
