Pillow lifters (or pillow lifts) rest on the top of the mattress and under the pillow (sometimes the pillow is part of the equipment). This section includes bed rails and accessories are designed to prevent a person from falling out of bed, but should never be used to restrain the user.

An extra tall bed guard can provide up to an additional 12cm in height which will help counteract the additional depth of a thicker mattress, enabling a suitable bed guard height (above mattress level) to be achieved. The benefits of bed rails for adults include preventing falls and injuries during sleep, providing support for individuals living with limited mobility, aiding in repositioning and transfers, and promoting a sense of safety and security while resting or sleeping. If you have mobility issues with your hands, such as tremors, painful fingers, swollen joints or paralysis, you may find it harder to prepare food, and enjoy mealtimes.

Making this adjustment can be very hazardous, as the foot end of the bed needs to be lifted and lowered manually. mattress inclinators and pillow lifters usually lift the person forwards and away from the bedside cabinet.

A bed centre support rail is a piece of timber or metal that runs down the centre of your bed frame (from head to toe) that provides support or extra support for your bed slats.

At Healthcare Pro, we have an excellent offering of bed safety rails, support rails and specialist bed aids that are designed to help you get in and out of bed with greater ease.If there is a risk that the person may fall off sideways it is probably more appropriate to use a mattress inclinator or a variable posture bed. Some of the hoisting mechanisms are portable and can be used on wall-fixed swinging frames in different locations, either for one person or for a number of different people. These are designed to support the bedclothes at the foot end of the bed, so that a person can turn over more easily in bed and their legs and feet are protected if the weight of the bedclothes is causing undue pain or pressure. This bed rail works with most traditional bed types with mattresses between 12" and 16" thick and a frame to fit the safety straps to. The cantilever tabletop is supported on one side only so that the table can be positioned close to the bed.
