Your guide to bed rails

A bed rail can be a really handy piece of kit, particularly if you need extra help when getting in and out of bed or standing up due to weaker limbs or difficulties with balance.

A bed rail can offer additional support and give you the confidence to continue living independently. You may choose to use a bed rail if you find it difficult to sit up from a lying position or stand up from the side of the bed.

You may also choose to use a bed rail if:

• You’re over stretching to reach alternative, inadequate support when getting in or out of bed e.g. a door, bedside furniture or a radiator! All these options are capable of injuring you through unexpected movement or temperature changes, meaning they aren't safe or secure enough to support you.
  
• You feel unsteady or breathless when getting in or out of bed. A bed rail can provide you with reliable support, enabling you to regain your breath or balance, before going about your daily routine.
  
• You find it difficult to change position during the night. If you wake up needing a glass of water or the toilet but find it challenging to roll your body into a position that makes this possible, a bed rail can give you the leverage needed to pull yourself into a more suitable position.
