I love my Drive Medical Support. I use it every time I get out of bed and it really helps.

This bed rail fits very snug between mattress and box spring and is very secure. If you have some strength in your arms, it should be helpful getting out of bed. You grab the rail and roll to your side, then use both arms to push yourself to sitting position. Mattresses can be slippery, so grabbing on to this will provide you extra security. If you are standing from wheelchair getting into bed, the bar is great to help pull yourself up.

This product is designed to give you something solid to hold on to when getting into bed, and helps you pull yourself to the edge, making it easier to get out.

Hello Peter , I have installed a " Drive " brand bed assist bar for a large man who had difficulty getting out of his bed and after installing this bar , he was able to get out of bed with ease by him self . The bar installs quickly between the mattress and box spring in about 5 minutes . No tools required . Good Luck to you !

Well you have to keep your feet up off the floor. I sometime use a tube or water bar bells to keep me up. They are great. Just used mine again this morning. Hope this helps.

Yes, it will help, the weight of the mattress secures the device while you are getting into the bed or out of the bed, maybe a bit more caution should be used getting into bed, this unit will help.

Yes, you just don't have as much above the mattress. I needed some thing to hold onto for support as I got in bed. It wa perfect for that. Hope this helped.

Get on off a dock or boat out of water if u fall off is very hard, just bend your feet regarding your question

I might be the only one with issues in this regard. I am a short and heavy woman. My legs are pretty thick. So, when I snap myself in, I make it as tight as I can but once I invert myself, I slide down and almost fall out because at that point its by my ankles, which are small. my husband had to "save" my life mid air.

There are videos on YouTube where they tell you how to open and put your matress on the bed, it was very helpful. Just type "How to set a signature sleep Matress?"

Yes. Have a pad under you. There will be leeks always. I used it in bed mostly and always had accidents. Being awake you might become more skillful then I was. Being desperate for answers in this area I think it is worth a try. You can manage it yourself without help. That is better than a bedpan. It makes it worth a try.

Yes, I think it would work. It has helped me tremendously! It helps me sit up, turn over and get out of bed.

I straddle the bottom of the chair and just sit down. To get out of the chair just shift your weight to the bottom of the chair and then get up.

The bed is difficult to make up and it does move some, so you have to keep pushing it around. The bed is worth that effort to me. I really love this bed..

I have the same situation where I have to bend my knees. I find that if I stick my feet straight out in front of me I can still get assistance from the band. At other times I take my foot not in the band and kind of jump up to the top or have the band help me get to the top.
