We’re Jon and Amara Smith, happily married for 17 years and the proud parents of Skyler, Alara and Abigail. We created the Safe Place Travel Bed to solve our own sleep struggles with Skyler, who has Angelman Syndrome. For seven years, we never had a peaceful night together in our own bed – one of us always had to be with him at night. It was exhausting, and the constant sleep deprivation was hard on our relationship and our other children.
Then we discovered that he slept well in enclosed spaces – finally a solution! But we looked around and found that safety beds were wildly expensive, and none of them were portable. He would be fine at home, but what about taking family vacations or going to see Grandma? So, we created a safety bed that we could both use at home and take anywhere. It changed our lives, and that’s when we knew we had to share our product with the world.

Jon is a registered ER nurse and inventor, and Amara is a homeschooling Mama and author. We believe in chasing dreams and living without limits, and we want to help you do the same! Our mission is to give the WHOLE family the joy of travel with a safe, affordable, and hassle-free sleeping solution for your restless special needs loved one.
