Swim Noodle Bed Rail – How to keep kids from falling out of bed

When my daughter turned 3, she was ready for the safety rail to be taken off her bed. But my husband and I were still nervous about her falling out of bed. So we bought a swim noodle and stuck it underneath our daughter’s fitted sheet and positioned the noodle along the edge of her bed. Now our daughter can climb in and out of bed easier, but the noodle provides enough of a bump at the edge of her bed to keep her from rolling out.

When my daughter sleeps over at my mom’s house, she sleeps in my mom’s guest room which has a very high queen-sized bed. My mom also bought swim noodles and put them under the fitted sheet. To keep her in the middle of the bed, my mom pushes the noodles toward the middle of the bed on either side of my daughter so she never gets close to the edge.
