Are they heavy enough to use to pull patient up in the bed?

Absolutely. These are very strong, quilted and thick. The blue side is even slippery to help you slide the patient easily. Excellent, excellent pads.

Sorry to say I haven't tried, we use them to protect the chair. Also it would depend on the weight of the person. I think they can the pad seems strong enough. The pads do wash well. I hope this helps you Good luck

yes they work well for that but might need larger size to include bottom and shoulders

Yes, and to be perfectly honest, they don't work very well. I still have to exert more force than expected to move the furniture. I wouldn't buy these again.

Yes! We took one of our standard twins off another bed to use it with these. No issues.

I would say no unless the wood platform is on top of a bed frame that has something to secure the strap to. Not sure an air mattress would have enough weight to hold the Bed Rail in place as the strap passes between the mattress and box spring and attaches to a bed rail. Something must secure the Bed Rail from moving when the patient tries to pull himself up.

I don't believe they would fit. They stand pretty tall. Also, it would be an inconvenience to pull 100 pounds from under your bed everyday.

They are very heavy but I'm sure with the right support by an expert it is possible. I love them!

I have never used them in the hospital. Mine work very well for me. I have the full length ones and had to get the additional adjuster to increase the overall leg circumference. My legs are quite large. It works best if I can devote a minimum of 2 hours per session. Four hours seems to be the maximum. By using them regularly, 5-6 times a week initially, I have seen great improvement. I now use them 2-3 time a week and have been able to maintain the progress gained. I wish you well:)

No not at all. these are quite strong and solid. Weight should not be a concern.

Yes I think so. I think they are a great aid in keeping people from rolling off the bed.

They are not heavy. They are pretty heavy duty, but not at all heavy. Easy to move and sweep around.

These are very strong for floral use. I would not suggest using them to lift a desk, as they do not seem like they they are suited to support that much weight.

No, they are not spring loaded. Would be helpful if they were. Mine are still a bit too stiff for me.

I believe so. We picked this bed rail because of the large 'bunky board' styling and the fact that the rails didn't go to the floor. The body weight anchors the handrail when in use. Ours is used under a top mattress only, not under a box spring, and it is fine with a 200 pound patient. It was super easy to put in place, too.

Hi Cari D, If the hospital bed is long, you should have no problem. Hope that helps you. Let me know if you like.

No. This is positioned between the mattress and foundation. A hospital bed has no foundation. Also, this is too wide and does not "bend" so you would not be able to raise up the head of the hospital bed. If you continue with use of the hospital bed get "half side rails". Hospital beds usually come with full length side rails but you can get half rails from the vendor. They are half the length and while not meant to, they can be used to help a person position themselves. They will also be able to be raised and lowered.

No, absolutely not. They are the lightest option of 1 lb. each. Excellent for rehab from mastectomies.
