Types of bed rails and overbed tables in this collection
The products in this collection fall into five groups, with rails first and tables after.
Height adjustable bed assist rails
Height adjustable bed assist rails give a firm assist handle beside the mattress. Two adult styles in this range are made for elderly adults and let you set the rail height. They are designed to help with sitting up and standing from bed. Pair them with mobility aids for the next step.
Swing-down guardrails
A swing-down guardrail is one of the bed safety rails. It folds out of the way when you get in or out of bed. This range includes one extra long 71 in (180 cm) guardrail with safety straps in grey. Check the product page for bed size and age guidance before you order.
Heavy-duty rails
Heavy-duty rails suit users who need a stronger handhold. This range includes one bed rail that lists a 300 lb (136 kg) capacity. Always check that the rail fits your mattress depth and bed frame, and ask a clinician about your needs.
Rolling overbed tables
An overbed table with wheels slides over the bed so meals, books and laptops stay within reach. This range includes an overbed desk with wheels and a height adjustable top. It also has a table with lockable wheels and an H-shaped base. Both suit home and care settings.
Non-tilting overbed tables
Non-tilting overbed tables keep the top flat for meals and puzzles. This range includes one table with a 15 x 30 in (38 x 76 cm) top. Its height adjusts from 28 to 45 in (71 to 114 cm). Compare the full overbed tables collection for more styles.
Check each product page for exact sizes, fit and capacity before you order.
How do you choose bed rails?
Match the rail to the job
Choose an assist rail to help with sitting up and standing. Choose a guardrail if you need a barrier along the bed. A rail can help with one need and not another, so ask a clinician which fits your situation.
Measure your mattress and frame
Measure the mattress depth in cm and inches, and note the bed frame type and base. Rails fit some frames and not others. Check each product page for the supported mattress depth and bed size before you order.
Check capacity and stability
Look for a stated weight capacity. One rail in this range lists 300 lb (136 kg). Give the rail a firm push after fitting. It should not shift, wobble or slide when someone leans on it.
Watch for gaps and entrapment
A gap between the rail, mattress and frame can trap an arm, leg or head. Keep gaps small and check them often. A person who moves a lot at night may need a different solution, so talk to a clinician.
Measure for table clearance
Measure from the floor to the underside of the bed frame in cm and inches. The table base must slide under it. Then check the top size and height range. One table here adjusts from 28 to 45 in (71 to 114 cm).
Where do these bed safety products work best?
Home bedrooms are the most common setting. An older adult can use a bed assist rail to sit up, shift position and stand with more support. A rolling table then holds breakfast, medication organizers and a book. Pair them with bathroom and home safety products to cover the next room.
Recovery and caregiving are another good fit. Someone resting after surgery or illness may spend long hours in bed and benefit from a table on wheels. Caregivers can slide it out of the way for transfers. Look at health and mobility products for more daily living help.
Spare rooms and small spaces also suit these products. A table with lockable wheels stores along the wall, and a swing-down guardrail folds out of the way. Shoppers buying for a parent can browse gifts for seniors and caregivers as well.
How do you install and check bed safety equipment?
Follow the instructions that come with each product. Fit rails only to the bed type listed on the product page. Tighten every strap and fitting, then test the rail with firm pressure. Recheck the fit every week, because mattresses and frames shift over time. Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth and keep wheels free of dust and hair.
Shipping and returns: free shipping on orders over $150 across Canada. Returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery under our refund policy. Delivery details show on each product page.
Please note: Rails can create fall and entrapment risks when they do not fit. Ask a doctor, nurse or occupational therapist before use.
Bed safety FAQs
What is considered a bed rail?
A bed rail is a bar or handle fixed beside a mattress. It helps a person sit up, stand or stay in bed. Types include assist rails, swing-down guardrails and heavy-duty rails. Pick the type that fits your bed and your need.
Are bed rails safe for elderly adults?
Rails can help with standing and repositioning, but a poor fit can trap an arm, leg or head. Choose a rail made for your bed, check gaps often and ask a clinician first. Some people need a different solution.
Can any bed rail be fitted to any bed?
No, a rail must match the mattress depth, bed size and frame type. Measure your mattress and read the product page. A rail that fits poorly can shift or leave gaps, so confirm the fit before you rely on it.
What is the purpose of an overbed table?
An overbed table slides over the bed. A person can eat, read, write or use a laptop without leaving it. It is useful during recovery and for long days in bed. Pick a stable base and a height that suits you.
What size overbed table do I need?
Measure from the floor to the underside of the bed frame, so the base slides under. Then check the top size and height range. One table here has a 15 x 30 in (38 x 76 cm) top. It adjusts from 28 to 45 in (71 to 114 cm).
Where can I buy bed rails for adults?
You can buy adult rails at our store, at medical supply stores and at some pharmacies. Compare height options, capacity and bed compatibility. Free shipping applies on orders over $150, and returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery.
