The Homecraft Bed Grab Rail is a support rail that provides a firm handhold at the side of the bed for getting in and out, rolling over and pivoting round to sit on the edge. A frame measuring 62 x 32.5 cm sits beneath the mattress and is held to the bed by three colour-coded straps, while two legs rest on the floor to carry load and limit movement when the rail is in use. The handle is 26.5 cm wide at the top and adjusts between 85 cm and 95 cm from the floor, so the grip can be set at a height that works for both the user and the bed. It may be fitted on either side of a divan-style bed, weighs 3.5 kg, and supports users up to 127 kg.

Getting out of bed is where a good deal of overnight risk sits, and a correctly set handhold addresses it more reliably than a bedside chair or a hand from a carer. Matching the handle height to the person keeps the pull efficient, the strapped frame and floor legs keep the rail where it was placed, and at 3.5 kg supplied flat it stores and travels easily.
