Bed Rails
The shopping I do these days.
Anyone recently purchased a bed rail they're happy with? I need a little help keeping my DW from rolling off of the edge of the bed.
Thanks!

Hi @CindyBum
I got the one below for DH. He was okay with it as it was compact and did not look like it would restrain him. Once he got used to it, he said that he liked that he could pull on it to sit up and get out of bed easier.
And like you, I got it mainly because I thought he was literally going to fall out of bed - he sleeps right at the edge of the bed! There are many styles and prices to choose from.
Take care!

Me too thank you! It's in my cart ……. Cindy you're right not the kind of shopping I look forward to but necessary.

I got a very similar one for my elderly mom (no dementia) after she fell, broke her wrist and needed assistance getting in and out of bed. It was easy to install, very stable and was the right size to provide support but not block her access in or out of bed. She still uses it almost 2 yrs later.

I got something a bit odd but works okay. I was looking for something that would keep my dog from rolling/falling off the bed. I ordered 2 sets (one for each bed). I am pleased with them and yeah, they are not for everyone. The reviews were a big help. Amazon:
Shinnwa Bed Bumpers for Toddlers (2-Pack) Memory Foam Rail & Adults, Safety Guard Queen, King, Full Bed, Sleep Long Pillow Pads with Non-Slip Bottom Machine Washable Cover2
