Bed Side Helper

NOTE: This product comes flat-packed and requires assembly. The Bed Side Helper can help people getting in and out of bed. It reminds where the edge of the mattress is and prevents rolling out of bed. The frame is made from a strong poly-carbonate plastic that is easy to wipe clean. You can use the Helper on almost any bed that has a separate mattress and base.
