Assist bed rails are sturdy handles that provide balance and stability when getting in and out of bed or changing positions. We carry high quality assist rails by top names like Stander, Carex and SafetySure
The main job of a secure assist bed rail is to provide a sturdy handle for those who need help with balance when getting in and out of bed. Bed assist rails aren&rsquot designed to prevent you from leaving or falling out of bed so they aren&rsquot enough when infirmity or the side effects of medication leave you vulnerable to a fall.
These bed side rails securely attach to the floor or bed frame and enable you to get your support from the floor not your soft mattress. A bed side rail allows you to pivot to get up from or sit down on the edge of your bed all without anyone else&rsquos assistance giving you a better sense of independence.
Assist bed rails are only about a third of the length of full-sized adult bed rails. These rails are usually adjustable to accommodate any height and are often portable. They lock when in use yet easily pivot out or down. Some are just extremely thin handles while other styles incorporate pockets to keep needed personal care items like glasses a cell phone and medication nearby.
Despite how narrow some bed assist rails are they are all meant to attach easily and securely. The home bed-assist rail by Drive Medical includes a safety strap you wrap around the mattress or box spring to ensure a safe and secure fit. The extra long strap fits single twin double queen or even king-sized beds. The removable power-coated steel handle includes a mid bar which creates a reliable grip at any height and can be detached when not in use.
Many models are excellent for travel and pack easily in a suitcase. Bedside Econorail by Stander weighs less than 2 lbs and supports over 300 lbs. The full size cushion handle allows for comfortable transfer in and out of bed.
If you have a low risk of falling out of bed and you want to maintain independence and have stability when getting in and out of bed assist rails are great mobility devices.
