Bed Rail Entrapment Prevention - Bed Rail Safety Guard

THERE IS A MUCH GREATER RISK OF ENTRAPMENT AND INJURY/DEATH WHEN USING BED RAILS WITH A SOFT MATTRESS! A soft mattress increases the risk that a person’s head, arm, or leg could become entrapped between the mattress and a rail. Entrapment can cause injury or death. To ensure it is safe to use a bed rail with your mattress, test your mattress by taking your fist and applying about 12lbs (5.4kg) of weight on the edge of the mattress. If the mattress is soft enough that you can compress the mattress by about 2 inches (51cm) when applying 12 lbs (5.4 kg) of weight, do not use a bed rail without the bed rail safety guard. If you have any questions, please call 800-506-9901.

The Bed Rail Safety Guard comes in two widths and three lengths. To determine which Safety Guard is right for you: 1) identify your bed rail on the chart below. This will indicate whether you need a 46" or 20" wide safety guard; 2) Determine your mattress size. The safety guards come in three lengths to fit a twin, full/queen, and king sized bed.

The bed rail safety guard is to be used with Stander bed rails on extra soft mattresses. The bed rail guard helps to prevent entrapment that could be caused due to soft mattresses.

The bed rail safety guard is available for purchase on our website or purchase over the phone by calling 1-800-506-9901.

Entrapment is a situation where an individual can become caught by their head, neck, chest or other body parts in the tight spaces around the bed rail. For more information, visit https://stander.com/pages/entrapment-prevention.
