What does it do and how does it work?
- Gives a handhold at the side of the bed for getting in, out or repositioning.
- Retractable: the rail drops down out of the way and locks again when raised.
- Black powder-coated steel, sold as a pair, one rail per side.
- The short pair is half length; the long pair runs the full length of the side.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- For a Sophia 2, Sophia 3 or Sophia 4 where someone needs a rail to hold when transferring.
- Whether a person should use rails at all is a decision for their care team.
- A bed that is not one of those three needs its own rails.
Will it fit?

- Choose the short pair for half-length coverage or the long pair for the full side.
- The same two pairs are listed for the Sophia 2 (Twin XL and Queen) and the Sophia 3 (Twin XL, Double and Queen).
Using it day to day
- Raise it for use and check it locks; drop it down for transfers.
- On the Sophia 3, the short or long rail can sit on the section of the bed where the person needs the handhold.
- Check that the mattress sits tight to the rail, with no gap that could catch a head or neck.

- Health Canada advises checking the mattress size and type against the frame before rails are used and fastening the latches. Health Canada hospital bed safety
- These are bed rails, not a restraint; the care team decides whether they suit the person.
