Furthermore, it can be placed on either side of the bed while being secured under by the included safety strap. Because these kinds of products are designed for elders or people who fall out of bed, lacking mobility, and balance, Stander decided to add the 180° fold down feature. This way, the user can get out of bed with greater ease. But, since it takes up 14″ of space between the floor and the top of your box spring, make sure the bed it is intended for is tall enough for it.

Buying Guide of Adult Bed Rail

In choosing a bed rail, you need to first look at the bed to see how wide it is, and how tall the box spring is from the floor because some bed rails include legs that could be taller than your box spring. These measurements are critical as you don’t want to have your purchase sit in the corner because it turns out to not fit the bed as should. Secondly, you need to know how much your patient or elder weighs.

If they are obese, check the weight capacity of the bed rail and it is recommended to get the one with legs and safety strap as well for maximum support. Otherwise, the support bar under the mattress will do just fine to hold the rail in place. Finally, don’t be stingy buying these things, it is for your loved ones’ safety.
