Bought this little number the other day [Hiccapop] to use as we work on transitioning Makoa into his "big boy" bed. I am very happy with this product and it was really easy to put into place, even with our thick mattress.
I was having a really hard time finding some sort of product that worked well with bunk beds. Every bed rail I purchased and tried out was a huge failure for various reasons (bunk beds don't have box springs, the bed rail "base" was falling through the slats under the mattress, there is a lip on the side of the bottom bunk that was interfering with the rail functionality).
This product eliminates all of those issues, while still providing a safety lip to keep my little guy ON the bed. I was a little bit worried about how the product would stay in place and not slip/slide around. I have no need to worry though, because the entire base of the bumper has "grippers" on it, and then there are strips with these grippers on the top of the bumper, that are designed to hold the fitted sheet over them. They do a really good job fulfilling what they have been designed to do!
Pros:
1. Nontoxic
2. Waterproof
3. Ease/convenience of use
4. Soft/comfort compared to a bed rail
5. Portability
6. Gripper/non skid bottom and top prevents movement
7. Ideal for thicker mattresses which are too tall for other bed safety rails
8. Bunk bed friendly (bottom bunk only)
Cons:
1. Would prefer a slightly longer length
2. Might not be ideal for "wild sleepers"
3. Price- these are more expensive than other similar products (although I feel the price is worth it after trying out other options)
