Getting the right side rail configuration is an important part of any care home bed setup. Side rails provide a gripping point for repositioning, prevent unintentional bed exit, and give care staff a safety reference point during manual handling.

Trade2Care stocks full-length side rails, half rails and quarter (grab) rails for Drive Medical, Alerta, Harvest and Wellell profiling beds. Bed extension kits — including extended side rails — are linked directly to the specific bed model on each product page, so the correct combination can be added to basket before checkout.

Side rail types

  • Full-length rails — run the full length of the bed; maximum protection; high dependency residents
  • Half rails — cover the upper half; allow egress from the lower half; balance safety and independence
  • Quarter rails / grab rails — short rail at the head end only; grip point without restricting bed exit

Important: Bed rail use must be subject to a risk assessment for each individual resident. Call 03452 999 999 for compatibility advice with your specific bed model.
