Question
Is the head of this bed adjustable
Answer
Unfortunately, this crib does not offer that feature. We have an alternate crib which has a gatch deck which the head and knee section will raise: GC1802CNKM http://www.medical-supplies-equipment-company.com/product/ppf/id/23300/new_prod_full.asp
Also, there is the option to add the fowler headrest, which raises only the head portion, to the LC1802CNKM crib: 06LWOFNKM http://www.medical-supplies-equipment-company.com/product/ppf/id/23001/new_prod_full.asp
Please advise if you may be interested in either option I'd be more than happy to get a total price including delivery costs for you. Note, mattress is not included and other accessories are available if necessary.

Question
What is the seat height Can the seat height be made higher? I have difficulty standing from low seated positions.Do you have any related shower chairs with just a bench-type seat?Are the casters removeable? Can they be replaced with non-rolling tips?Thank youAlbert
Answer
Thank you for you inquiry. The current seat height is about 23in from floor to seat. If you need the seat height to be slightly higher there is a custom charge of $35.00. In additional this will make the shower chair non-returnable. We are able to remove the casters and apply non-rolling tips at no additional charge.
