Many people have difficulty getting out of bed. This is because mattresses are soft, so you do not really have anything to push off of in order to stand up without losing your balance. One of the best things you can do to get in and out of bed safely is to have bed rails installed. This will allow you to grab onto the rail and use it to create the leverage to pull yourself out. You can also hold onto the rail so that you can slowly lower yourself onto your bed without difficulty.
