ABSTRACT:
A safety apparatus for a bed comprised of two safety panels and a cover. Each safety panel comprises a horizontal stabilizer and vertically-extending panel of a synthetic polymeric material with a density of from about 1 to about 10 pounds per cubic foot. The width of the stabilizer is less than about 20 per cent of the width of the mattress. Disposing the horizontal stabilizer underneath a mattress secures said the vertically-extending panel in a substantially-vertical orientation along a side of said bed. Another embodiment comprises the foregoing side panel safety apparatus in combination with a safety rail of said bed, further comprising said safety rail; wherein said horizontal stabilizer blocks a person in said bed from moving a part of said person's body into contact with said safety rail such that said body part becomes entrapped from said contact. Another embodiment comprises movable vertical sections.
