Can this be used as a bed rail as well (to keep someone from falling out of bed)?

Bed rails for keeping someone from falling are made 4 feet long. This will only stop part of a body from falling out of bed

It is as long as the top rail of a hospital bed. I used it after the car accident I was in to be able to pull myself to turn and get out of bed. If you moved it down the bed it should work. Only issue is it doesnt fold down . hope this helps.

I guess you could, depending on where you place the unit. The rail is 20 inches long, but does not fold down like on a hospital bed. I use it for getting in and out of bed due to a bad back, so I place it at the head of the bed.

My Dad uses it to get in and out of bed, so I have it set up at the head of the bed. If you position it in the middle of the bed, it would help keep a older person from falling out of bed.

It has a strap that runs to the opposite side of the mattress and hooks on the box spring to secure the bed rail. Might still work but wouldn't be as secure.

the bars ar space 4 and 3/4 apart ..the rail are made to keep the person in bed so they dont fall out of bed .They ar not made to be pull on to help to get somebody up.You need a trapee bar attach to the head of the bed for that ...............

sorry for the delay, but what do you mean exactly? the rail is excellent. it is sturdy, as long as your mattress is sturdy. i have it attached to t he end of the bed, which helps my mother get up and out. it is adjustable for height. but, it is a good investment to use to get out of bed, and guard from falling out of bed. ron

For balance, maybe, but I expect in a fall it won't save you. Even if screwed to a stud, I think the rest of the mounting hardware might not be strong enough.

It would probably keep someone from rolling out of bed when sleeping. But when my 120-pound father used them to help him get up, he said they were too wobbly. He went back to the shorter, more sturdy rail even though it didn't extend. I don't know whether a heavier person would actually bend the rails, but I think it wouldn't provide the best support for standing if that's your question.

I am using it as a replacement for a bed rail on their toddler beds, and it works great. As long as you place it under the fitted sheet, you can't get under it, it stays in place, and truly does keep my girls (twins) from falling out of their bed.

I have the bed rail on a queen size bed for husband and it has been a blessing. He would not have been able to get out of bed and keeps him from falling out on many many occasions. works great.

We're hanging a step stoll for ours, but it is attached to a wall and less than a foot off the ground. I wouldn't recommend using it to hang anything from the ceiling and nothing over 5 pounds which if I remember correctly is the weight limit on these. That is nothing your afraid won't fall and hit someone if it did.

No. That wouldn't be a safe option. This item is meant for a side rail to be screwed to the wood plank the comes with it. I wouldn't suggest using this item in that way

No, it's used to attach a foot board to the end of the bed since the bed frame didn't have one.

Thank you for your interest in this item. The bed rail are designed for beds with a mattress and standard box spring. It is not recommended for adjustable beds.

Once you put it together, it is not portable. The function of this item in our case, is to help one get in and out of the bed securely. As it is shown on the px it would serve only as preventing a person falling out of bed. The railing for my handicapped wife is only 7" off the bed backboard, so she can pull herself up when getting up. Her twin mattress weighs a "ton" so there was no need to use the belt to tie the far end under the mattress. As for making the bed, I do it only by uncovering our top covers 3/4 of the way, so that both of our twin beds can get freshen up during the day. The middle black connectors (see picture) prevent the day cover to hide a portion of mattress if you choose to make the bed. Once you put it together, it is not portable.

For full safety, you have to attach it to your bed - it's easy to do. Otherwise, it's not stable. Please attach to your bed! :)

I doubt it. The rail system need he weight of the mattress to keep it firm and stable. We found it best to have the rail up near the head of the bed. It seems it would be awkward to have it set at the foot end side.

I'm not sure if they make rails specifically for this bed or not. I pushed the bed against the wall so that my son couldn't fall out of one side. He sleeps towards that side and has never fallen out the other open side. I know that you can get bed rails at the store & they might work for this bed if you decide you really need them. Hope that helps.

I wouldn't plan on hanging a headboard off of this. If the headboard was mostly self supported, you could tie into it for basic stability. We hung out headboard on the wall which is an alternate option.
