Why we know this works!
We love this bed step because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we measure bed heights in nearly every home visit, and a mattress that sits too high is a fall waiting to happen. Is a bed step safer than a regular step stool? Yes, because this platform is wide enough to stand on with both feet at 19 by 16.5 inches, has a textured non-slip rubber surface, and holds up to 400 pounds, so you are not balancing one foot on a wobbly stool. It adds 4 inches of height and is light enough to move to the car or kitchen when needed.
It is especially helpful for people with hip or knee arthritis, shorter stature, or leg weakness that makes climbing into a tall bed exhausting. If your loved one has poor balance or gets up confused at night, skip the step and lower the bed instead, and consider the Bed Rail for Seniors for firm support when standing.
