I REALLY needed this! Edit:5/19

This is exactly what I needed after spinal surgery. I’m supposed to “log roll” to get out of bed, but I couldn’t manage to sit up without something to hold on to. It was easy to assemble and install. My bed doesn’t require the frame strap, but it was included and I think this device will work for most beds. I highly recommend this. I also like the pocket that attaches, it helps me keep up with my cell phone. Edit 5/19 Just an update, I still am grateful I have this addition to my bed. My back is healed, and I’m even back to work, but I find I am much more compliant on using safer techniques for sitting up to get out of bed. Of course I chuckle to myself for writing a review for a device that is basically a “bed cane”! I mean I’m 52 years old, but as the saying goes, there is a 25 year old trapped in this body surprised at what middle aged feels like lol. But, if you have any back issues, or suffer from conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, spinal stenosis, hip replacements, strained back muscles, DDD, CP, MS, etc. then this might very well be an assistive device that will just make your life a bit easier. Best wishes.

Works great on a queen bed.

Using this on a queen bed for my mother in law who broke her arm. This has allowed her to sleep on the bed and not a chair. She is now able to pull herself out of bed and helps to support her when she's getting into bed. It is very sturdy if setup well. No wobble or any movement. Looks like the strap used to secure it is not long enough to wrap around a King size mattress. It works great on a Queen. So just fyi.

LIfesaver for post-op assists

Has been magnificent for my almost 300 lb husband to get in and out of bed post hip replacement surgery. He is not too agile on his best day but this has proven incredibly stable for his needs. Nitpicking: I'm not much for directions and even with those supplied, it took a bit of focusing to put together. I wish the increments for height adjustments were a few mm different as there is a slight slant when inserted between mattress and boxspring (no bed frame). But the stability is spot-on and that's what counts.

It provides the assistance I need

I have had increasing challenges moving around in bed and especially getting out of bed. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's 9 years ago. I was starting to knock my glasses on the floor because I was always feeling on the nightstand for my cell phone or kindle. When I saw this I knew it was what I wanted. It has a pocket for all those things you might want to keep close to you at night, I placed it even with my waist so when I sit down, I can just swing my body around and be right in sleeping position. I use it during the night to help change position, and use it to pull myself up when I want to get out. I like the looks of it because it has a simple design and a padded handle.Also, it doesn't look so much like a hospital rail. It includes a strap around the matress to it is very secure. The pocket is designed to hang on the outside, but is strapped down do it won't move around when you are feeling around to find something. I would recommend this to anyone who needs some assistance moving around a bed.

Excellent buy!

This assist bar has been a fantastic asset for my wife. Mounted about 18 inches from the head of the bed under a Sleep Number queen mattress, even without the web strapping attached, it allows a much easier way for her to get in and out of bed. There is no box spring as the mattress is on top of a wooden storage base so we could use a simple screw clamp to fasten the stabilizer bar but this seems unnecessary as the bar is very sturdy from just the mattress weight. This was an excellent buy.

Helps in more ways than expected

I purchased this because I have a very bad back. Mornings are the worst for me. So I had this before getting an adjustable bed, and it worked great, however when I did get an adjustable bed it was a pain in the butt to keep it in place, I then rigged it with my no longer used baby boba baby carrier and strapped the bar that goes between the mattress and base, it worked like a charm 😊 Fast forward a year we finally moved to our house that would fit one and I finally ordered a bedroom set with a bed frame that has side bars. Well at first I had it outside the frame, but I couldn't get it lined up right, so I tucked it between the frame and the bed, Bingo!!! It's perfect no longer need to strap it in, and on top of that it holds the mattress in place!! If any of you have an adjustable bed, then you know, the mattresses slip constantly. So I am now ordering a second one to keep my husbands side of the bed from slipping too!! And the pocket is perfect to put the remote for the bed and plenty of room for probably 10 remotes. Thank you!

Super secure assist bar that's simple to install!

When it came time for my dad to come home from weeks in a rehab facility following a broken hip, he really wanted to come home to his own bed and not some rented hospital bed. This device made that possible. When properly installed, it's clear this device isn't going anywhere, no matter how much weight is pulling against it, even if you are pulling at it sideways. My husband who is 6' 3" and 250 lbs. tested it out before my dad got home and it was very reassuring to see & feel just how secure this assist bar was. My dad's home health nurse, occupational therapist, and physical therapist all were very impressed with how incredibly secure it is compared to many of those they've seen in homes they visit. Assembly & installation were simple, but be warned that you need two strongish people if you're installing it on a large bed (Queen or King size) because you have to move the mattress around to install the strap that runs across under it and attaches to the bed frame on the other side of the bed. This is the key to why this assist bar is so secure, which is really important when age, injury, etc. means you're using it to pull yourself up to a sitting or standing position - or depending on it for transfers from bed to walker, wheelchair etc. As I said, installation wasn't at all difficult so long as you've got the necessary muscle around to wrangle with a heavy, bulky, floppy mattress. We couldn't recommend this more highly!

I have arthritis and beds are so high these days. It hurt getting into bed. I felt like an Olympic vaulter most of the time as I tried to leap into bed. This bar is sturdy and feels a part of the bed. The bar is covered in soft rubber.so if for some reason you knock yourself in any way using it, no harm done. I have one of those posture pedic beds, and when I raise the head, the bar tends to come with it, but it doesn't bother me at all, it's still sturdy and feels secure. The bar fits under the bed in whatever place you like. Some additional constraints also fit under the mattress along with the under bar, so it's secure. If you change your mind about the position, you will have to move not only the outside bar, but all the underneath safety stuff. No big deal, though, if you have a younger sans freevarthritis relativevtobhelp you!

I like that this bar is almost like a bed rail ...

This Medline Bed Assist Bar is just what the doctor ordered. A friend is having shoulder surgery and is going to need a some time to recuperate. Getting in and out of bed is going to be difficult. This medline assist bar will help to reduce the stress and strain getting into bed. Just hold onto it and let it support your weight while getting in and out of bed. This Bed assist bar has a storage pocket, so you can carry books, magazines, a phone, glasses, meds and so on... I like that this bar is almost like a bed rail and offers that sturdy support. The handles are padded and it is easy to use. This bed assist bar will allow my friend as much independence as possible after shoulder surgery! I recommend it!

this has been so helpful beside my bed while recovering from knee replacement. I keep my cd player, CD's, headphones and a few other needfuls handy. The only negative it the starp to keep it securely in place does not reach around my king sized bed
