Meanwhile, wooden bed rails provide a strong and durable barrier for keeping children safe while they sleep at home. Plus, with their contemporary design and great choice of colours from white and natural through to grey, they’ll look great in your child’s room too." text": "Children’s bed rails are recommended for use between the ages of 18 months through to five years. From the age of five, a bed guard should be taken down. This is because beyond the age of five children are stronger and their weight is heavier, meaning bed guards may not be able to sustain the weight, strength, and curiosity of an older child. However, some children may benefit beyond the age of five with a bed rail installed should they be prone to sleeping near the edge of their bed or if they are active sleepers and move frequently in their sleep. text": "It is recommended that a baby under the age of 18 months should sleep in a cot and not a bed with a bed rail. A cot provides the safest and most secure environment for your baby to sleep, as the fully enclosed frame enables your baby to sleep safely without falling from the bed or being able to climb in and out of the bed unsupervised. text": "Safetots bed side rails are designed to prevent children from falling out of bed while they sleep, and are safety tested in accordance with today's current safety standards.All Safetots’ bedguards have been tested and comply with the British Standard 7972:2001+A1:2009 when fitted in accordance with the instructions.

Choose the right type:When choosing toddler bed rails, make sure you choose the right type for your needs. Some bed rails are universal and can work with almost any bed type, while others are designed for specific bed sizes. Make sure you choose a bed rail that is appropriate for your child’s age and size. Mesh bed rails: Lightweight and portable, ideal for travel, 90-degree fold-down mechanism for easy access. Sometimes your toddler’s transition from a cot to a bed can seem daunting, as they suddenly have the freedom to climb out of the bed when they choose, or potentially roll out of the bed while they sleep. A bed guard deters and prevents young children from rolling out of the bed and saves them from possible bumps and bruises in the night. A bed rail is not designed to prevent children from climbing out of bed, it simply keeps them safe while they sleep. Safetots bed rails range in size from a narrow 90cm in length through to 140cm in length. Choosing a bed guard with the most suitable height and length for your bed will really come down to the size of your bed and the depth of the mattress. Our bed rail buyer's guide includes step-by-step instructions for choosing the right sized bed guard for your child's bed.

All Safetots’ bedrails provide the maximum mattress depths and lengths in the product spec information to make it easier for our customers to select one that is compatible with their child’s bed. A minimum mattress length is also supplied to make certain that there is at least a 25cm gap either end of the bed as recommended by the British Standards Institution (a measurement deemed wide enough for the child to safely leave the bed without being tempted to climb over the rail). Inflatable mattresses are to be avoided in conjunction with a bedguard as these can easily be punctured and deflate. Bedguards are not suitable for waterbeds for obvious reasons or camping beds where there is only a canvas sleeping surface attached to a metal frame. Nor is it safe to use them on the upper level of a bunk bed as a fall from this height is life threatening. W) x 50cm (Typically used on single mattresses with measurements of approximately 90cm x 190cm, or queen sized mattresses with measurements of approximately120cm x 190cm) I HAVE A LIGHT WEIGHT, THIN MATTRESS:if you have a slim, light weight mattress which is often the case with cot beds and toddler beds, make sure that the mattress is substantial enough to hold a bed rail in place. Consider a smaller bed rail such as a Standard Mesh Bed Guard. There are several bed guards that will work with a cot bed, however, the depth of the mattress is key to ensuring there is enough weight to hold the cot bed rail in place safely. Ensure you have a good mattress that will hold the bed rail in place. Smaller bed rails such as the Safetots Narrow Mesh is a small, light-weight bed rail that would be suitable. The Safetots Narrow Mesh Bed Rail is available in a range of colours, White , Natural and Grey to match home interiors and toddler bedrooms. The Safetots Narrow Wooden Bed Rail would also be suitable for a cot bed and is a heavier option and compatible with a more substantial mattress. text": "If your child’s bed is against a wall, you will only need to fit one bed guard to the exposed side of the bed. Should your child's bed be in the centre of their bedroom, a bed guard fitted to both sides of the bed is advised. Bed rails simply aid in preventing your child from falling out of their bed as they make the transition from a cot to a bed and therefore if in the middle of a room, double bed rails are advised."

Bed Guards FAQ Schema

A bed rail prevents young children from falling out of bed and potentially hurting themselves, and it provides peace of mind for parents at bedtime. Should your little ones manage to climb out of bed during the night, our range of baby gates and room dividers will keep them away from any potentially dangerous areas of the home. text": "Bed guards can be used on double beds, although some bed guards are more compatible and suitable than others. When choosing a bed guard or rail for your double bed, firstly measure the depth of your mattress. If your mattress is extra deep, then an extra tall bed guard will be more suitable. These bed rails will achieve a greater height above a deep mattress. Secondly, an extra wide bed rail will cover a greater length of the bed and will work well on double and king size beds.

A more versatile bed rail is the mesh bed rail. Mesh bed rails are lightweight and portable, and with their simple fold down design, they are a great choice for taking on your travels. Mesh bed rails benefit from a 90 degrees fold down mechanism, enabling easier access to your toddler when getting them in and out of bed. https://www.en-standard.eu/bs-7972-2001-a1-2009-safety-requirements-and-test-methods-for-children-s-bedguards-for-domestic-use/

W) x 60cm(H) (Typically used on double bed mattresses with measurements of approximately 135cm x 190cm and King size beds with measurements of approximately 150cm x 200cm) Wooden bed guards and bed rails fold out to a 90-degree angle. The base frame of the bed guard then slips under the mattress and the weight of a mattress keeps the bed guard in place. Make sure the bed guard is properly fitted. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and test its strength by pushing on the guard from inside the bed. If the bed guard falls or moves, it hasn't been safely fitted, and should be fixed before your toddler uses it. Safetots wooden bed rails are a standard height of 38cm from the base to the top, and are considered suitable for most beds including cots, single beds, and double beds.

Can I use a bed guard on a double bed?

text": "Bed rails can be wooden or mesh. Wooden bed rails are more contemporary in their design and often blend in with a child’s bed and bedroom furniture. These toddler bed guards are a perfect match for wooden beds and wooden cot beds, as they can almost look to be part of the actual bed. It’s worth bearing in mind, though, that a wooden bed frame is less versatile than other bed guards, as once in place it has no fold down mechanism. The benefit, however, is a much stronger more resilient and durable bed guard. text": "A bed rail is a safety barrier for beds that enables you and your child to sleep safely.
