Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Its hard to see exactly what you are getting on the internet when it comes to objects not commonly used everyday. This is no exception. I thought this product was going to be sturdier. The thing that goes around the mattress is actually a cord (a giant rubber band). So the bar even when properly assembled can be wobbly if enough weight is applied to it. I pray that it can hold my father especially if he pulls on it for support. If this cord was a flat steel bar that reached across the mattress and bent down with a hook at the end to grip the bottom of the bed frame, just the sheer weight of the mattress and the grip on the bed frame as a counterbalance would have made this barrier 10X sturdier. I bought this product because I am not sure what else is out there. This certainly isn't the best thing in the world. Just a compromise.
