Cot side for adjustable bed

The client, recovering from a stroke, needed a cot side to stop him rolling out of bed at home. (He was bed blocking until the job was completed). The double bed at home was a new adjustable one which did not have provision for attaching a cot side.

A free-standing steel frame was made to avoid making holes in the new bed. The bottom of the frame pushes under the bed and is thus secured against tipping. The frame carries a standard NHS expandable, rise and fall cot side.

The client was able to come home from hospital and cannot fall out of bed.
