A trapeze bar that clamps to a metal frame headboard and hangs a triangle handle over the bed. It adjusts for height, length and horizontal position, installs without tools, and is rated to 250 lbs. Heavy-gauge two-piece square steel tubing in a brown vein finish.
What stands out
This is the cheapest thing in the whole bed range that changes how somebody lives, and it is worth more than most of the expensive things beside it. If a person can pull with their arms, a trapeze means they turn themselves, sit themselves up and shift off their hip without waiting for anyone, which is both a dignity question and a pressure injury question, because the surface under them only works if they move on it. The one thing to check before you buy is what your bed end is made of: this clamps to a metal frame headboard, so if you have just bought wood bed ends for a Prime Care bed you want the floor stand version instead, and that is a different item. The 250 lbs. figure is the pull on the triangle rather than the weight of the person, which confuses people, and the limited lifetime warranty is real rather than decorative on a part that is two pieces of square steel tube.
Straight talk
Is it right for you?
A good fit if you
- can pull yourself up with your arms but cannot push up off the mattress
- have a bed with a metal frame headboard to clamp it to
- need to reposition in bed without a carer lifting you every time
- weigh up to a 250 lbs. pull on the triangle
Look elsewhere if you
- have a wooden bed end with no metal frame to clamp to
- cannot take weight through your arms and shoulders at all
- need more than 250 lbs., which is where the bariatric trapeze starts
- want to be able to return it, because accessories are not returnable
