🔧 DIY Tips
Fitting a bed rail yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 What you'll need
- Bed rail (right type for your bed)
- Tools for fitting
- Someone to test with
📐 Fitting tips
- Check bed frame compatibility
- Follow manufacturer instructions
- Position for your reach
- Test stability before use
- Check mattress gap safety
⚠️ Critical points

- Gap between rail and mattress
- Right height for sitting
- Check weight rating
💡 Pro tip: The gap between the rail and mattress must be less than 60mm or more than 235mm - in-between gaps can trap limbs.
