[quote=Anonymous]I can actually answer this question from experience.  The answer is yes, as we did it twice at Sibley for two different babies.  In 2008, we brought in a twin-sized air mattress.  We had one of the tiniest private rooms that they have, and it fit fine, and no one told us that it was a problem.  My husband said it was a life-saver.  He actually was able to get a bit of rest.  In 2010, we brought in a queen-sized air mattress (by mistake - we grabbed the wrong one), and it was too big for the space.  I thought my husband was going to cry.  BUT, the nurse came in and showed us that they had updated their furniture, and the couch actually folded out to become a full-length sleeping surface.  (Not sure I would call it a bed.)  Not sure if the new furniture is in every room or not.  So, you may want to try to find that out from Sibley first, but if you do bring an air mattress, bring a twin-sized one.

Also, I had two c-sections, and I absolutely wanted my husband there with me for comfort and as an advocate.  You can't get out of bed the first night after a c-section.  The first time he stayed all four nights.  The second time, he stayed the first and possibly the second nights.  Good luck, OP!  [/quote]
