Prevents falls!! As described:)

I bought two bed rails for my 92 yr old parents several months ago. They really like the bed rails because they feel safe in bed now and because they can lean on the bed rails to get in and out of bed which really helps them. They don't extend the rails because (1) they cannot fall out of bed with the rail in the non-extended position, (2) it requires too much strength to slide the rail in and out (WD40 is helpful) and (3) they need the open space to get in and out of bed.I also bought the canvas attachment for magazines, remotes, etc. It is OK but hard to attach because it is a very tight fit, the pockets are restricted, very tight. It does hold a Comcast remote. The mftr needs to make the canvas attachment a half inch larger so it fits easily and so pockets can hold larger items. I put a shoulder bag over one of the bedrails and that works well (see pic).Here's how one person can install the bedrails without removing the mattress.First read the instructions! Important info about where to position the bed rail to prevent injury.1) Lay the bedrail on the floor by the bed2) Put the strap through the bedrail3) Get a yardstick, broom handle, PVC pipe or any long pole type object (a yardstick works best since it's flat)4) Tape the end of the strap to the end of the yardstick5) Lift up the corner of the mattress and push the yardstick as far as possible to the other side.6) Walk to the other side of the bed, lift the corner of the mattress and pull the yardstick to you.7) Secure the strap to the bed frame

Once this is setup it really helps after an upper body injury or surgery. Getting the mattress out of the way it's quite easy to set this up. The straps really help the whole thing stay in place. Very sturdy and it didn't shift at all while using it. If you are going to need something like this I do recommend it.

Dad fell out of bed, says he was sleeping and didn't know what happened. So I bought this rail after getting the patient lift we had ( but never used) to get him off the floor at 4am. He isn't sleeping with it extended because his fingers are deformed from severe arthritis and the button is too difficult for him to push. I wish that they had a lever/tab on the button (like there is on his shower chair button) to provide an aid in pushing the button down so the rail can be extended. I was worried that he wouldn't have enough room to sit on the edge of his bed and still reach the items on his nightstand but he manages. Keep in mind the rail must be at least 12.5" from the headboard to keep the head from get entrapped which could cause a fatal hazard even if the person is not cognitively impared ..as my dad is not..he has mobility and no dementia..but I tried putting the rail closer than 12.5" to the headboard and sticking my head in between the gap and it didn't feel safe even for me. Keep in mind this is STANDARD practice for ANY bed rail and is not specific to this item in particular. I put the rail at the proper 12.5" + inches from the headboard and he was still satisfied about reaching his nightstand. I wish he would extend the rail but even with it un-extended he said he likes it, it is doing its job and he wish he would have gotten the rail sooner. I feel better too knowing at least he won't hit his head on his glass covered nightstand if he does roll out of bed again. Dad is 6'3" 230 lbs. Sturdy device.

Hard to set up on king size bed

I like the safety feature and appreciate the help and ease of sitting up without any problems or assistance.

I am glad I have it. Really worth the price to keep me from sliding out of my soft bed.

Did not fit our bed well because not usable on an adjustable bed frame
