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.
