The Safety Bed Rail serves as both a safety guard rail and a bedside handle, supporting up to 300 pounds. The 30-inch long safety handle provides balance and support when transferring in and out of bed, and the rail can pivot downward 180 degrees to lay flat against the bed for increased caregiver access, requiring 15? of clearance. Compatible with most traditional beds with mattresses between 10? and 19? thick, it is not intended for use with adjustable or extra soft beds.
