My wife and I r looking for safety options for our bed. Ran into this video by accident. Very Well informed by the caretaker presenting this product. I love the clarity of the information. We will be considering these products as an option.

[@EquipMeOT]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I hope you are able to find a product that works well for you. If you have any questions I’m happy to answer them!

I just watched the video yesterday. We are English in France, and this video was informative.

What type of bed rail would you recommend to be used with an adjustable bed, ie: hospital style bed?

[@cuteandviolentchibi]

I need the video of a bed rail that prevent a fall that are adjustable and hopefully reasonable price

[@gosman949]

Will this work on a bed that has electric adjustable up and down feature?

[@derilenemccloud6592]

Excellent video! Could you make a recommendation for a bed that has a mattress that sits onto of a bed frame?

[@EquipMeOT]

Absolutely! That’s a wonderful idea for another video. If you need some ideas I could share a few links.

[@derilenemccloud6592]

@@EquipMeOT I would be very interested in your recommendations. My mom has Parkinson's and I need to get a bed rail. She has a craftmatic bed with just a mattress and bed frame. I can't seem to find a bed rail that will work with her bed. Any suggestions you may have will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[@EquipMeOT]

If it is an adjustable bed, you might want to consider a stander safety pole. I have a video about it and have used it in similar situations to your moms as it can be positioned close to the edge of the bed or even right up against the edge and doesn’t rely on the bed itself for mounting. They’re a bit more pricey but very practical. Here’s a link to the video (

[@EquipMeOT]

Sorry, here’s the link to the stander security pole video kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4GvpISEfbB8qqM

[@derilenemccloud6592]

@@EquipMeOT Thanks so much for your guidance and direction on this! I watched your video and talked it over with my brother and we are going to go with your suggestion of using the safety pole because the bed is a craftmatic adjustable bed with a mattress and a bed frame (instead of box spring mattress). I will let you know how it works. Thank you because the only bed rails out there was for beds with two mattresses.

My elderly father is going to be staying in temporary housing following a fire in my parents apartment complex and the bed in the house they will be staying in is low to the ground. I think it’s a platform bed. I’m worried that he will have a little trouble getting in and out of bed. Do you know if this would work on a low platform bed like that?

[@josemiranda8686]

I need help ...my mom needs a raid for seniors to help stabilize and move around the mattress and to prevent to fall? Wich one do i need to buy her mattress is sitting on top of the bed frame ? What should i do ? Toda is 9/10/ 21

[@EquipMeOT]

I wonder if something like this would be more helpful. They are a little more expensive, but way more flexible for placement and excellent for stabilizing anywhere around the mattress. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4GvpISEfbB8qqM Then combined with something like this (low cost and will help with in-bed mobility). kzbin.info/www/bejne/goDQZpmknK-bi8U

@@EquipMeOT thank you so much!

[@EquipMeOT]

You’re welcome! Good luck!

[@goon8058]

Out of the box instructions did not indicate to place the bed rail towards the pillow. I put it in the middle of the bed and was ready to return it thinking it more of a hindrance potentially trip someone up , complete game changer moving it towards the pillow end.

[@bennyphilip2601]

Me too. I got one for my Mom and couldn't figure out the placement. Thank God for this Video!

[@Amrb26]

What would you recommend to work with a home hospital bed? The rails that came built in to the bed aren’t strong enough.

[@EquipMeOT]

This is one of the only ones on the market: Stander EZ Click Bed Handle, Hospital Bed Rail, Safety Assist Medical Rail for Seniors, Long Term Care for Elderly, Set of 2

[@tessaladd1675]

Hi there, you may be able to answer this question. Are you able to use bed rails with slatted beds? Would love your input or suggestions 😊

[@EquipMeOT]

Yes, there is a different style that works with them. This one is the type I’ve used before: amzn.to/3Bp9B9U

[@georgepjpandiathumparambil6981]

For ordering

[@wernersgren5157]

I’m really grateful you’re making videos like this, but you do realize younger people also require safety and mobility aids sometime, don’t you? Disability doesn’t discriminate based on age.

[@EquipMeOT]

Of course! I definitely make these videos with all ages in mind! Unfortunately, search terms that help videos get found in the crowded internet often include terms for a specific age group. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m glad you found these videos helpful!

[@celylibed7439]

Ok

[@Frauenfoerderer]

Great! thx!

[@akualayla6998]

Can this kind of bed rail work on an adjustable bed?
