Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Great for my elderly father who lives at home with me. My father is 91 and soon after he moved in, he fell in the middle of the night wandering to the bathroom. When he finally came home from hospital this item was a blessing! We couldn’t fit the extra long hospital bed in the room we made for him so ordered a full size mattress with a simple metal frame underneath with no box spring because that made it too high for him (he’s 5’1 now). Was worried about this item not staying put w/o the box spring but it works great! The weight of the mattress is enough, though I feel my tiny father also makes a difference. Not sure how it would do with a much larger person with no box spring. He uses it to pull himself up or closer to that side. He loves the pockets it offers too. And I love the piece of mind it gives me when I need to sleep! I also purchased a baby monitor camera that syncs to my iphone so I’m able to hear him call out and/or view if he needs me. The bars on it also make for a great catheter rack! Not sure what I would’ve done about his catheter bag if I didn’t have this bedrail. Sometimes I even use the beds frame to hang it on in case he wants to turn towards the wall so it doesn’t pull to far from him. One problem I do see is, with my father, he tends to get his feet in between the bars, so I switched the pocket organiser to the other side. This didn’t change the problem, he just pushes his feet through the bottom bar now in his sleep lol. I’ve tried wedging a pillow in as a barrier but he usually kicks it out. At 91 he tends to go into a panic if he wakes in the middle of the night with his feet caught so I’ve taught him how he can simply undo his feet...took many tries. Sounds silly but with dementia all these things really make a difference. Long review for someone to read but I’ve found detailed reviews are very helpful when dealing with sudden changes in life and people need all the help they can get! Especially when it comes to getting sleep.
