The tube is telescopic so it adjusts from 90cm (36") to 150cm (60"). One end of the loop can be turned down if it would be in the way of someone else using the bed. Max user weight 127kg (20st).Helpful advice
Hints and tips for bed sticks and bed rails
If you sleep by yourself, in a single bed a double loop handle bed stick or bed rails can be very useful to help you turn, sit and stand up more easily. If the bed stick is not needed on one side of the bed (for example if sleeping with another adult) it can be turned down towards the floor. WARNING: We strongly advise that you do not use a bed stick/loop if you share your bed with a child, as this can cause injury/entrapment.

Help with fitting
Positioning a bed stick
If you use a bed stick, please ensure that it is fitted tight up against the mattress and that the clips are fully through the frame.
