can it also be used to prevent falling out of bed

It can definitely HELP prevent someone from falling out of bed, but it may be POSSIBLE for someone to still fall out since it isn't a full-length rail designed specifically for that purpose. My dad has not fallen out of bed with this product in place, but we purchased it primarily for use as a HAND RAIL to assist him in pulling himself up.

Yes!! Of course! But just in casa and to avoid it to get off easy, you could buy "Sheet Suspenders". I have it on every bed in my house.

It can but it will be very hard. The pad is basically designed to spread the body pressure over a larger percentage of the body surface to help prevent problems like bedsores. You might try something like a yoga pad or a sleeping bag pad between the board and the gel overlay.

It can be used on any bed or surface. I would recommend placing it under the sheet to prevent the intended person from moving it.

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

I wouldn't think so, it's not made to keep a child from climbing over it just to keep them from falling out of bed. If you converted your crib to a toddler bed it might work but I'd check the measurements of the crib against the rail and also the crib mattress might not be heavy enough to support the rail. It is supported under the mattress with a bracket the sets up to the other side of the mattress. I'd say NO most likely.

I fits across a single bed almost. It is wonderful and I am so glad I purchased this product. It has saved my mother from getting up and falling numerous times.

LOL that's funny! Good luck. I got it because my grandson kept falling out of bed and I wanted him to fall on something soft.

This method will not stop your child from getting off of the bed, if that's the issue you are trying to solve. This is ok for a child that doesn't move too much in bed, to add a soft protection so the child stays in this "nest". I don't think this would be a good traveling option as the foam pieces are fairly long; you might as well use hotel pillows and stuff them around the bed to achieve a similar result. Good luck!

Not perfectly. You're only using it as a barrier between your client and the bed. My clients move comfortably with little trouble.

I really don't think it would be a good idea to try to get up from a fallen position using this. It's not very sturdy, in fact its kind of cheaply made and I don't think it would be much help in getting up after having fallen. It does OK for what it's designed for but that's about it.

I have tried only these--and they do work well to keep my dog from falling off the bed.

Probably this would be helpful, although it may not be enough. It allows for some good "give" when used in conjunction with a firm mattress.

Yes. I would suggest you put a protective layer (sheet or blanket) between the mattress and the bed frame, because the actual support boards are not coated with anything and will stick to mattress.

It probably would, but I would not risk it. If you use it and it does become loose, it could cause a person to have a serious, perhaps fatal, fall. Use permanent adhesives, staples or nails for safety.

No. It is generally to keep a bed or couch from sliding on hard wood floors

Hi Norma. If you can't get on the floor I would recommend you get something other than this product to help you. I don't think using it in bed would be a great idea and it really is just a cheap bit of curved plastic so I don't know how much it would help you. Sorry.
