This is a bedside cradle customized to attach to your bed safely. My sidecar beds are designed so that mother and baby can sleep face to face and breathe on each other. These baby beds are a cradle/bassinet size 18" x 36" to help moms to begin nursing, establish good sleep rhythms, and bond in the first 18 to 20 months of their baby's life. This is a very durable "fine furniture" version baby bed, designed to survive many years of use and be shared or handed down in families. Walnut and mahogany are premium and expensive furniture woods. Sidecars made with these woods are priced higher and listed separately from my maple, cherry, or oak baby beds. Mattresses are not included and are sold separately. Any standard "cradle" size mattress 18" x 36" will fit my baby beds. I also sell the organic eco-wool mattress listed in my CustomMade shop and I can provide links for alternative mattress sources. My shipments weigh about 45 pounds and require a special carton, so shipping would add $75.

For Copper-Top Sewing Machine Desk / Console TableCould not be happier with maker or the end result. You would be crazy not to work with Clifford if given the chance. The work is so beautiful and well constructed. The quality was only matched by his incredible communication and professionalism. A true gem Thank you again. - Bobby

For Baby BedI received my baby bed yesterday and am overjoyed with this project. From the very beginning Clifford made this a special process. He had some fantastic design ideas that really improved on what I had in mind and developed a compelling proposal. Then he continued to keep me informed as the project progressed - sent me lots of pictures and taught me about the construction choices he was thinking about. I really felt like I was involved in the creation of this piece. He was on time throughout which helped ease my worry that the baby might come before we had a place for her to sleep! When I finally got to see the bed set up in our room I realized this is a true heirloom piece that will be used for babies in my family for many many years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend Clifford and can't wait to dream up another project we can work on together soon.
