Our Parentgiving Customer Care team takes any potential bed-rail buyer on a series of questions to determine what kind of bed rail is appropriate: What kind of bed will the rail be used on? Is there a box spring and mattress?
Is it an adjustable bed? Is it a hospital bed? What size is the bed? Do they want the rail to be one sided or two? Will the rail be used as an assist to help them get in and out of bed or is it to keep them in bed during the night? Is there a caregiver to raise and lower the rail, or will the patient need to do that themselves? Before purchasing a bedrail for use in a facility, it is important to contact the facility and determine what can and cannot be installed. If a loved one suffers from dementia and is quite active, will they be confused and try to climb over the rails? Rather than protecting the patient, this could actually harm them more. Many of our rails will fit beds from Twin to King. Be sure to read the descriptions for all pertinent dimensions and information. There are a few bed types where rails cannot be installed. Most rails have either a board attached which goes under the mattress, or straps which must have unobstructed access to the other side of the bed.
Some bed systems that physically cannot accept rails are: Sleep Number beds (there are many different models — call us if you are not sure) Platform beds, including Tempurpedic Beds whose box springs have been removed to make the overall height lower Adjustable beds are no problem! Our best-selling EZ Adjust Bed Rail is extremely versatile, affordable and a cinch to install on adjustable or standard beds. Please take a look at the video to see how well it works and don't miss the rave reviews! Once you have answered the above questions you can start looking in the correct category for the best rail for your situation. If all of this is a little overwhelming, call us! We are very familiar with all different types of beds and rails and will be able to make suggestions for you. Keeping your loved one safe is very important to us, as well! Can the rail be raised and lowered by the person in the bed? Many rails cannot be operated by the person in the bed.
They are meant to be operated by a care giver. Be sure to read the product descriptions carefully to confirm this information. What is the difference between a safety bed rail and an assist rail? A safety bed rail prevents you from rolling or falling out of bed. An assist rail is a shorter length handle that provides balance and stability getting in and out of bed. Do I have to get rails for both sides of the bed? We have both single side and double side rails, depending on your needs. Which rail can be used in a Sleep Number bed? As suggested by Sleep Number, they do not recommend rails be used on their beds. They can cause damage to the mattress. Are bed rails dangerous for the elderly? People at higher risk of entrapment, falls or injury from portable bed rails include those with conditions such as confusion, restlessness, lack of muscle control, or a combination. What kind of bed will the rails work in? If you have an adjustable bed, such as a Craftmatic bed, you will need to select a rail from our “Bed Rails for Adjustable Beds” sub category.
For non- adjustable beds, most rails will work, provided there is a mattress and box spring. Please read the individual product descriptions of the rail you are considering for other requirements, such as bed height, where needed. Most of the bed rails are not compatible for use on a platform bed due to the way they install and the clearance needed to raise and lower them. We also have a sub category for “Hospital Bed Rails” for use on a hospital bed. What rails can be installed at the foot of the bed? None of the rails we offer are designed to be installed at the foot of a bed. Which rails can be used in an assisted living or nursing facility? Before purchasing any rail for use in an assisted living or nursing facility, please confirm directly with the facility if it is allowed. Regulations may vary by state and facility regarding use of what is considered a restraint.At Jamtara Wilderness Camp in Pench, India, you can sleep in a bed surrounded by arjuna trees (binoculars included).
Photo: Jamtara Wilderness Camp Sleeping under stars is, simply put, awesome. The last sight you see before drifting off makes you marvel at the immensity of the universe and the beauty of those sparkling glimmers of light. Anyone who has ever camped can tell you that. And recently, hotels and lodges from California to Kenya are tapping into our stargazing urges and offering the intrigue of the night sky to guests who don’t particulary want to toss a sleeping bag on the ground. Their star beds have plush mattresses, soft sheets, plump pillows (mosquito nets if needed) and—most importantly—room enough for two. Photo: Courtesy of Little Makalolo CampThis luxury safari outpost, part of Wilderness Safaris’ collection, recently added an outdoor bed on a raised platform, safely overlooking Madison Pan. Twenty minutes from the main camp by jeep, it offers a feeling of being beyond remote—secluded, star-lit and often graced with the stately presence of Hwange’s famed herds of elephants.
Not for the faint of heart. Photo: KakslauttanenStaying in a glass igloo at this Arctic resort doesn’t actually mean sleeping outside, for obvious reasons (though there are also snow igloos for people who like to feel the cold). Heated, spacious and set up with basic bathrooms, the glass igloos are a perfectly comfortable base for heading out on reindeer safaris by day and watching the northern lights—while in bed—by night. Photo: Jamtara Wilderness CampHead to Jamtara Camp just outside of Pench National Park and Tiger Reserve to experience the only star beds in India. The camp opened in January 2015 and is operated by Encounters Asia. The three star beds here are inspired by “Machaans,” or the local farmers who are known to pass the night in their fields to scare off wildlife. Each of the beds are placed on a platform, draped in Indian silks and are surrounded by high arjuna trees. They’re complemented with basic bathroom amenities, lanterns, and binoculars for stargazing and wildlife spotting.
Plus, there are café tables for the coffee that you can have delivered first thing in the morning. And yes, you get your own night guard to ward off the animals.The star beds at this mind-body-soul retreat—think walking, rafting, and horseback riding safari with a touch of spa philosophy thrown in—have dramatic locations: Some are set amid a kopje of rocks in one of the eastern valleys overlooking a watering hole, and others are cantilevered out over the Ewaso N’giro River, several miles from the main lodge. Get there by Land Cruiser, horseback, camel or your own two feet, and then settle into a four-poster bed, which can be wheeled under a partial rooftop or left out right under the stars.Surf all day and then crash out in the Himalaya Suite at this upscale boho resort on the only tropical part of Peru’s Pacific coast, which has a terrace that’s big enough for staff to set up a bed outside. Its occupants can hear the close-by din of the ocean’s waves and feel the sea breeze (which also keeps beach bugs at bay) as they pick out the constellations.
Bonus: There’s an outdoor shower here too. Photo: Las VentanasLike much of the beach town of Cabo, this ultra-luxury resort is still being rebuilt due to damage from Hurricane Odile last year. When it reopens this spring it will still offer its popular “Sleeping with the Stars” program. Guests staying in Rooftop Terrace Junior Suites will have the option of having an intimate bedroom set up on the roof, where there’s a telescope in case you’d like to get a closer look at the skies. Photo: Treebones ResortYou should sleep outside at least once in the California gem that is Big Sur. And while not quite as comfortable as the other star beds here—it’s BYO sleeping bags and pillows, though there is a futon mattress—the so-called “Human Nest” is a creative way to check off that box. The resort calls it “extreme eco-sleep.” Guests hike into the campsite and bring their gear up a ladder and into a human-size nest made by a local artist of woven wood, where starlight shimmers through the spaces between the branches.
At Aman’s posh outpost in southwestern Utah—less than two-and-a-half hours from the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park and Monument Valley—staff will transform the daybeds on the terraces of the Pool Suites into proper overnight sleeping beds. It’s a popular option in summer, when nights are warm enough to enjoy the private plunge pool by star or moonlight.Astronomy is a focus at this offbeat lodge several hours north of Santiago in an area known of its clear night skies. A favorite of bespoke adventure outfitter Off The Beaten Path, the accommodations were all designed with the night sky in mind: The Observatory Bedrooms are wood cabins with glass panels in the angled ceilings above the beds, and the Dome Bedrooms are geodesic structures made of metal frames and PVC tents. Beds are lofted and rooftops can be opened up for open-air stargazing. And if you don’t get your fill of the Milky Way from your room, make sure you get a glimpse of it though the hotel’s own observatory, which houses two electronic Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes.
