Description
The 8000 is Stander's adult bed rail that extends in length and stays upright. It is a different item from Stander's Wonder Pivot rail, which swings down.
Who is this rail for, and who should look elsewhere?
- An adult who wants a handle for sitting up, standing or transferring from a conventional bed, if their care team agrees.
- Stander describes it as minimal to moderate weight support when standing from bed. It is never a restraint.
- Not for an adjustable-base bed, an extra-soft mattress, a bunk or a child's bed.
Will it fit my bed?
- The bed needs a frame the straps can go around: box spring, platform or slats.
- Mattress sizes run from twin to California King.
- Measure the mattress. It must be 10-14 in (25-36 cm) thick; Stander says never to use the rail outside that range.
- Keep the rail at least 12.5 in (32 cm) from the head and foot of the bed.
- The rail is 20 in (51 cm) high and 18 in (46 cm) deep.
What are the limits of use?
- Strap it tight against the mattress with no gap and no slack. Stop using it if a gap appears or it shifts.
- Never use two rails on one side of the bed, or a rail without its straps.
- It passed ASTM F3186-17 for adult portable bed rails. Entrapment is still a risk with any bed rail, so follow the warning tag.
- Health Canada's hospital bed safety page explains mattress fit and checking on the person.
Which other rails and handles can I compare?
- Drive M-Rail is an assist handle that slides under a home mattress, with no guard rail.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use it on a bed that raises and lowers?
No. Stander says never to use it on an adjustable bed. It needs a fixed frame that its straps can attach to.
Can it swing out of the way when I get up?
No. It slides out in length but stays upright. A rail that swings down is a different Stander item; ask us about it.
What if my mattress is thicker or softer than the range?
Do not use this rail. Stander allows only 10-14 in thick mattresses and warns against soft mattresses and toppers. Ask us about alternatives.
Do I need to build it?
Yes. The legs and guard bolt onto the rail with the supplied hardware and a hex key before the straps go on.
