Aidapt Easy Fit Bed Transfer Rail With Straps Design to Help Getting In and Out of Bed

I bought this bed guard/ transfer aid for my elderly father who has just had a hip replacement. He found it impossible to pull himself upright from the lying position post surgery prior to fitting this guard but he now swears by this appliance and is able to pull up using it but also is able to lie down in a controlled manner instead of flopping backwards. It was a little difficult to fit on your own as it has to go under the mattress and you have to strap it down to the opposite side of the bed. I found the straps a little confusing but once tied down with some force the guard never moves. They also have a pine bed with wooden sides which does make it a little difficult to get to sit correctly under the mattress but with a little perseverance it does an excellent job.

This is a good product that was bought to enable an older person to a) not fall out of bed and b) lever herself into an upright seating position. It does each of these jobs perfectly and is a real bargain at the price. One thing to know is that if the bed base has a lip between the base and the frame it will not be a snug fit but we made it work. It is better suited to a divan base but can still work ok with springs/slats/frame set ups. It was easy to put together. There is a strap but despite various family members having degrees, we could not make any sense of how it was supposed to work. We used it as a kind of tied rope in the end. Instructions would be good. One down side was that Amazon packaged it in a box half as big as a double wardrobe! It made it very difficult for the older person to receive at delivery. Very strange and unnecessary packaging.

I purchased this for my gran after she had a fall at home. She's very active and independent and absolutely refused to have any sort of permanent fixture put up to aid her in and out of bed. She had a fractured pelvis and was really struggling to get out of bed so I bought this and installed it in her bedroom.She was over the moon!! She said "it's amazing! It's really helpful for pulling myself out of bed!" In a surprised voice as if that was just a handy coincidence and not what it was actually meant for :) after her initial reluctance to have anything permanent fitted, this aid was a great middle ground for her as it is very sturdy once installed, but could also be easily folded away once she recovered.Highly recommended.

The support is used as an aid in getting in and out of bed after an accident. The lady in question is 94. This support is ideal for the elderly and infirm who find difficulty at bed time.

Bought this to take on holiday. It is very sturdy and was very useful for getting in and out of bed. The holiday would have been very tricky with out it. Being disabled it made the difference from having a holiday that was ok to a holiday that was great. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who has difficulty at bedtime.

Didn’t come with instructions so my dad and I wrestled with it for 1/2 hour until we were happy the straps were secure. But will do the job now fitted

This bed rail is very sturdy, easy to assemble and does the job. It can be a bit of a shock to roll into if it's cold, but I haven't fallen out of bed since it was installed, and it's a great aid for support as I get up.

This is a life saver !!! I struggle getting out of bed with my fibromyalgia and it can take me up to 2 hrs on a very bad day to get out of bed or just turning over in bed . You have something firm to hold onto and gently lift yourself up .... it had straps to secure it underneath the mattress to stop it from moving . But i don't use it as I find it ok without them :) and it doesn't look ugly against your bed so you can still have that glammor bedroom without it looking like a nursing home :)
