How to choose a bed rail?

Choosing the right bed rail is key to ensuring your child’s maximum safety during sleep. Before making the purchase, it is important to consider several important factors that will help you choose the most suitable product. Below we outline the main points you should focus on:

1. Measuring the inner frame of the bed

First, it is necessary to measure the inner frame of the bed. This dimension is crucial, because the bed rails are placed inside the inner frame and are weighted down by the mattress. With correct measuring, you will choose the right size of the rail.

2. Type of bed – slats or solid board

It is important that your bed has slats or a solid board across the entire bed surface. If your bed does not have these features, the bed rails cannot be used.

3. Storage space and adjustable slatted base

If the bed has storage space (tilting upward or to the side) or an adjustable slatted base, the storage space cannot be used while the rails are installed. In this case, the rails must be removed.

4. Sloped ceiling

If you have a sloped ceiling above the bed, it is necessary to measure the space between the ceiling and the bed and make sure the rail fits in the space. The height of the rail is always stated in the product description.

5. Type of rail installation

In our offer you will find Popular bed rails or Premium, which are simply placed on the slats and weighted down by the mattress, as well as those that need to be screwed to the slats - Economy, Smart, or Flip. Information about the installation method is always stated in the rail description.

6. Bed rail for frameless beds

You will also find the SHORT rail, which is suitable for frameless beds. This rail is inserted between the mattresses and secured with a safety strap.

7. Number of rails

Protection against a child falling is already ensured by one piece of our rail. However, for greater stability, we recommend using at least two rails and connecting them into an L shape. If the bed has a headboard, we recommend buying three rails and creating a U shape - safety will be ensured from three sides, with the fourth side formed by the headboard. For 100% protection, we recommend using four rails to ensure safety from all sides.

 

Thanks to these simple steps, you can easily choose a bed rail that will exactly match your needs and ensure maximum safety for your child during sleep.
