Choosing an OTS Bed Grab Rail
A Bed Grab Rail is designed to give assistance and support:
- When raising yourself from a lying to sitting position and as you stand from the bed
- Whilst you are stood beside the bed, for example whilst getting dressed
- As you change your position in bed
- As you sit and lift your legs up onto the bed
Getting in and out of bed can be quite a struggle for many of us. Sometimes a little support is all that we need to get up and going.
The chart below helps you to determine the most appropriate bed rail in relation to the type of bed you have, and the user’s weight. Please contact advice@otstores.co.uk or 0845 260 7061 if you need any further advice.
