A must-have after spine surgery! I placed one of these ladders on each side of my bed and they were the reason I was able to turn onto my sides after spinal surgery, when the spine must be kept straight for several weeks. I would've been flat on my back the whole time without them! I highly recommend getting a couple of these if you're having spine surgery.

Works great!

this is a very nice tool to have. I put it on the centerline of a tempurpedic adjustable bed using the metal rail that retains the foot of the mattress, and it has been very good to have from the jump - for repositioning myself, for sitting up, for getting out of bed. (I'm a cancer patient with a lot of weight loss following abdominal surgery; my core strength is very low.) I can see it will also be a great rescue tool - last week I drifted to the edge of the bed while asleep, halted my fall by putting my head on the bedside table - and needed another 20 minutes to figure out a way to lever myself upright and get out of bed. that experience prompted my purchase of rails and this ladder. i will get the rails up when possible; this was a one-person job with immediate, large benefit. all that said, I do look at this tool and wonder how long it will last. the assembly of the middle rung on my copy introduces 2 unneeded points of failure - the main ring of fabric is cut on each side and the rung is attached at the cut, as is the loop which holds the top rung in place. If the çenter rung was joined the same way that bottom rung is, by leaving the webbing intact and joining to it as it went past, there would be no need for those two cuts - and probably fewer reviews reporting early failure of the ladder. Time will tell, and I will look into other fabric ladders. It seems possible that someone makes a bunk bed or treehouse ladder which offers similar functionality if attached to a bed.

I purchased this for my sister who had a stroke and can only use one side of her body. This was exactly as advertised, simple to install and worked perfectly for a disabled person to pull themselves up in a regular bed. I recommend it.

This item isn’t very user friendly. I used it with clients that needed assistance getting out of bed, and there’s too much slack which can cause user to lose the stability they need.

I considered a bed rail on one side of my bed to get out then nixxed the idea-because I wanted to continue to train my body/muscles to sit up. Which was something I was re-learning after hip surgery. It was a matter of use it or lose it. I wanted to relearn sitting up straight from a laying down position vs rolling on my side and grabbing a bar. I wanted to continue maintaining my arm & abdominal strength. This ladder- 1.Allows me to strengthen and use abdominal and other muscles to PULL myself up into a sitting position. ( Without leaning & depending on a fixed metal bedrail). 2. The bottom strap anchors around bottom of bed frame, positioning you in the middle of the bed. Thus, you’ve got something to grab onto to help you roll over- which keeps you from only sleeping on one side of the bed / only sleeping on one side of your body. 3. The ladder consists of nylon straps and the handles are sturdy plastic covered by a cushion like rubber- so the palms of your hands are well protected and provide a good grip. 4. Because of the nylon strap design you don’t notice it in bed. 5. The ladder design allows you to grab each “ step” until you are upright. It’s like a mini- physical therapy session- building strength as you go.

This is very convenient for helping sitting up and getting out of bed. It attached to the bottom of the bed frame at the foot of the bed and then stretches up to be used. No tools required. I'm a heavy - set person and it holds fine. The ladder part is covered with foam where you grab it. I was struggling to get out of bed and this is great.

Purchased to help me be able to get out of bed after having back surgery. Money well spent! I love that it's not bulky and it would be easy to travel with. I love it!
