Good Night Bed Rail
Screw-fix Type
AR04U
- Screw-fix mounting eliminates the wobbling common with strap-attached rails—the brackets bolt directly to the bed frame for rock-solid stability when users pull themselves up.
- Central folding bars flip down to create a 90 cm (35.4") open section, allowing users to enter and exit bed independently without removing the entire rail.
- One-hand release mechanism lets caregivers press and swing the rail down flat in seconds, clearing space for transfers, medical care, or sheet changes without fumbling with multiple locks.
- Tool-free assembly means the rail installs in minutes using hand-tightened knobs—no screwdrivers or wrenches required, making setup simple even for those with limited strength.
Screw-Fix Design for Thin Mattresses and Seamless Comfort
The Good Night Bed Rail Screw-fix Type offers a specialized installation method ideal for thin mattresses and users who need unobtrusive support. Unlike bracket-based systems that can create noticeable pressure points through thin mattresses, this screw-fix design mounts directly to the bed frame, eliminating any sensation of supports beneath the user. This makes it particularly suitable for mattresses under 15 cm (6") thick, platform beds, or situations where users are sensitive to underlying structures. The simple unlock-and-fold mechanism allows caregivers to swing the rail down with ease, completely clearing the bedside area for transfers and care activities. The secure screw-fix attachment ensures stability even with frequent daily use, safely supporting users up to 90 kg (198 lbs) while preventing falls during transfers in and out of bed.

Screw-Fix Installation System
The screw-fix installation mounts the rail directly to the bed frame, creating a low-profile attachment that works exceptionally well with thin mattresses. Users lying on thinner mattresses won't feel the support structure beneath them—a common issue with bracket or strap systems that create pressure points. This direct mounting method is ideal for platform beds, futons, or any sleeping surface where comfort and an unobtrusive feel are priorities. The secure screw attachment provides rock-solid stability during transfers, preventing any movement or shifting when users apply pressure. While installation requires basic tools and screws (included), the permanent mounting offers superior long-term reliability for users who need consistent fall protection in a fixed location.
Fold
The simple unlock design allows caregivers to fold the bed rail down for easy bedside access. Unlike complex mechanisms, this straightforward operation requires minimal effort—simply unlock and swing down to clear the area for transfers, medical care, or toileting assistance. The foamed handle provides a comfortable gripping surface, reducing hand fatigue during frequent daily use. This thoughtful detail makes operation easier for caregivers who need to raise and lower the rail multiple times throughout the day. When folded down, the rail stays out of the way, allowing unobstructed access for wheelchairs, transfer boards, and other mobility aids.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between the Screw-fix Type (AR04U) and the standard Good Night (AR04)?
A: The AR04U uses screw-fix installation directly to the bed frame, making it ideal for thin mattresses where users might otherwise feel bracket supports beneath them. The AR04 uses L-brackets and straps, which works better for thicker mattresses and situations requiring easy removal or relocation. Choose AR04U for thin mattresses and permanent installations; choose AR04 for thicker mattresses or portability needs.
Q: How does the screw-fix installation work?
A: The rail mounts directly to the bed frame using included screws. This creates a low-profile attachment without supports beneath the mattress, eliminating pressure points that users might feel on thin mattresses. Installation requires basic tools and takes approximately 15-20 minutes. The screw-fix method provides superior stability for long-term use in a fixed location.
Q: Will users feel the rail supports through the mattress?
A: No. The screw-fix design mounts to the bed frame without any supports beneath the mattress surface. This makes it particularly suitable for thin mattresses (under 15 cm / 6") where bracket or strap systems might create noticeable pressure points that users can feel while lying down.
Q: How does the flip-down mechanism work?
A: Caregivers simply unlock and swing the rail downward and away from the bedside, completely clearing a 90 cm (35.4") wide area for bed access. The foamed handle provides comfortable grip during operation. When raised back up, the dual-lock system prevents accidental lowering during sleep.
Q: Can this be easily removed or relocated?
A: The screw-fix installation is designed for permanent or semi-permanent use. While it can be removed and relocated, this requires unscrewing and reinstalling, making it less suitable for frequent moves between beds. For situations requiring regular relocation, the L-bracket version (AR04) may be more appropriate.
Q: What bed frames are compatible?
A: The rail works with most bed frames that have solid sides suitable for screw attachment, including wooden frames, metal frames, and platform beds. The screw-fix method requires a frame structure to anchor into—it cannot be used with beds that lack solid frame sides.
Q: What weight capacity does this support?
A: The rail safely supports users up to 90 kg (198 lbs). The screw-fix mounting provides stable anchoring that maintains reliability even when users lean heavily against the rail during transfers or sleep.
Q: Can the height be adjusted?
A: Yes. Two height positions—48.5 cm (19.1") and 50.5 cm (19.9")—allow adjustment using a simple push-pin system. This 2 cm (0.8") range helps optimize fall prevention coverage while maintaining comfortable clearance for users to sit upright.
Q: Is the fabric cover washable?
A: Yes. The removable fabric cover is machine washable and can withstand regular cleaning products. Replacement covers are available separately for extended use.
Q: How durable is this rail for daily use?
A: The metal frame construction and reinforced flip-down mechanism are built for thousands of uses. The screw-fix mounting provides superior long-term stability compared to strap-based systems, making it ideal for permanent installations where reliability is essential.
