Stander Bed Caddie, Bed Support Ladder Assist Handle, Sit Up Help, Adjustable Length for Elderly, Handicapped and Injured (Eligible for VAT Relief in the UK)

this would fit better on a bed with wood at the foot as it needs something to attach to my husband has a divan so the only thing to attach to is the caster underneath the bed which works but not really suitable. in effect it is strong enough to pull yourself up if you have the upper body strength to do this.

Had the product a few months now. A worthwhile investment, big help getting in and out of bed. Easy install as well. Vendor was prompt, received product 3 business days.

i ordered this as a potential aid for my father who just had a partial cystoscopy, hes bloated and swollen from that and weighs normally around 220 or so. this was easy to "install" and it has come in handy. im fairly strong but not enough yet to help lift my fathers upper half to have him sit up for brief moments while i adjust his pillows. i have him grab onto this ladder and hes able to lift himself up enough for me to move his pillows without causing him any real discomfort. its not needed everyday, and lately its not needed at all since hes recovering and getting better.... but its still worth the price even if its never used again. its very sturdy and it stays in place. my fathers bedframe is a minimal steel frame, so it has bars i was able to attach the strap to, not sure how this would install on a frame that is solid (like ones that have no underneath, with drawers for storage). the handles are easy to grip and hold onto, and again even if its only used a few times.....its worth it. id have never been able to get my father comfortable without this thing.

very useful

This was a lifesaver when my Dad got sick. This handy assist handle made it so easy for my Dad to sit up in bed, and adjust positions. I honestly think it helped my Dad get up and moving around faster than if he didn't have it because it gave him more independence. Plus, it saved my Mom and I from having to manually move him.

I bought this for my 90 year old grandpa. He's had some medical problems and surgeries that have weakened his core muscles. The way he was getting out of bed looked pretty unsafe--wrenching his upper body around to push up on his nightstand, often falling back and having to try again. His shoulder and arm muscles are still strong, and that's an important thing to keep in mind for using this product. I looked at bedside walker models but those are meant to go under a box spring and grandpa's bed is just a mattress on a slat foundation. So I decided to try this one and not only is it a lot cheaper, but it works really well. Installation was super easy on grandpa's metal bed frame, if you have a bed with a footboard, it might be harder to get it clipped in. Since it's a twin bed, I stuck an adhesive hook to the side of the bedframe and hung the rope ladder within Grandpa's reach--that way it's not taking up room in his bed. Grandpa's review is that it is "life-changing." Getting out of bed is easier and less painful.
