HALF SIDE RAILS
We have half length side rails available for adjustable beds. Unlike cheaper models that just slide between the maatress and the deck fo the bed, these rails are solidly through bolted to the wood deck. The advantage of half length side rails is that they help keep you from falling out of bed yet they are out of the way when you want to get out of the bed. Most of our customers use them to hold onto getting out of bed. Two sets can be purchased if you need full length protection. They have a lovely chrome finish. They are easily installed by yourself or we can install them for you if you are in our service area. They come with a plastic spacer to stabilize the bar in its bracket.

| Half side rail with bracket. Click on picture to see larger view. |
|
| This is the half side rail with the mounting bracket beside it. The bracket mounts to the bed base and the side rail slides down into the bracket. There are three detents on the side rail so it can be set at three different heights or the rail can be completely removed without removing the mounting bracket.

| Mounting bracket. |
|
| This is a closeup of the mounting bracket. There are 8 holes for attaching it to the base. I would recommend using at least 2 tee-nuts or two nuts and bolts. You can use lag screws for the other holes.
The white button on the side is the handle for pulling the detent rod in and out of the bracket. There are three holes on the stem of the side rail so that it can be placed in a choice of different positions - low, medium and high. It can also be completely removed from the bracket.

There are two styles of adjustable beds:
1. The traditional adjustable bed had a wood platform with 4 or 5 inches of foam on top of it, coverd by fabric. The side rails would mount on the bottom of that wood platform.
2. The newest style of adjustable bed, used by most of the companies nowdays, has a wood platform with just an inch or so of material on top to cover bolt heads. There is usually a foam rail attached to the bottom of the wood platform and the base is then coverd by fabric so that it looks like a box spring. The side rails mount to the top of this type of base.

This is a picture of the half side rail mounted on newer type base. It mounts on the top of the base. You must use smooth headed bolts when you mount it on this type of bed.
This is the easiest type of base to mount a half side rail to. The inside mounting bolts can be reached without loosening up any of the fabric and you can use lag screws in the outer bolt holes of the mounting bracket.

|
| This is a picture of the half side rail mounted on a traditional base. It mounts to the bottom of the wood platform. While you can mount it with just lag screws, I would recommend that you pop the material loose along the top third of the base and install at least two tee-nuts in the top of the base. You then staple the material back and install the side rail.
