A lot of customers are asking... How do I pick the right bed rail for me? Outlined here are the main questions you should ask yourself before purchasing a bed rail...
Question #1: Are you falling out of bed? If you are falling out of bed, you may want to consider a full size bed rail opposed to a half bed rail. A full bed rail will allow you to have more fall protection and can prevent you from falling out of bed. If you want a half rail that expands to a full bed rail, you may want to consider an adjustable bed rail like the EZ Adjust Bed Rail by Stander, Inc.
Question #2: Do you need fall protection or just assistance getting out of bed? If you need fall protection, you should consider either a full bed rail (recommended) or a half bed rail. If you just need assistance out of bed, you may want to consider a bed handle like the Bed Cane by Stander, Inc.
Question #3: What functionality do you want? Bed rails have really progressed over the years. Now bed rails are coming with... ⁃ Organizer pouches to keep handy items close by ⁃ Folding functionality which allows you to fold down your bed rail after use ⁃ Adjustable functionality: the ability to adjust from a half size to full size ⁃ Extra Support Legs - Allowing you to have an extra handle to transfer to a walker or wheelchair (ex. Mobility Bed Rail) Pick the bed rail that you feel with fit most with your lifestyle and budget. If you don't want the extra functionality, you may want to consider something less expensive.
Question #4: Do you travel? If you do travel, you may want to consider a bed rail that is compact, easy to travel with, and easy to set up. An example would be something like the Econorail by Stander, Inc.
Question #5: Warranty? Elderly bed rails come with anything from 30 day money-back money guarantee to a lifetime guarantee. Obviously, we would recommend that you try to find a bed rail with lifetime warranty. (No explanation needed)
We hope this post gave you a better idea on what you might want to consider if your planning on purchasing a bed rail. If you keep these questions in mind when purchasing a bed rail, you may avoid the guilt and shame of "buyers remorse".
Have a great day and... Live the longer life you love!

I learned that one of the most dangerous things that can happen to the elderly is falling. The recovery can be very difficult and sometimes the damage can be irreversible. That's why we have to be very very careful with our elderly loved ones.
