Modern Beds too High up to climb into.

If the bed is too high saw the legs shorter. If you need it raised at the top to help calm your reflux use breeze blocks.

Alexa, l would love to see the hotel managers face when they walking into the room after the guest had left to find the offending bed legs standing alone and sawdust all over the floor!

It is possible to get ‘Monkey pole’ bars fitted to the bedstead of most disability type beds and can often be supplied via the NHS occupational therapists, just ask your GP for a referral form. The more complex ceiling track hoists do need a structural engineers report and professional fitting, plus regular electrical safety tests. The Monkey poles are simple bolt on or freestanding devices which can be fitted quite quickly, or removed when no longer required, and consist of a length of chain and a sturdy grip handle, or sometimes two handles, to aid the patient to pull themselves up the bed.

Good advice, Julia. And I must in future give more consideration to the hotel manager's feelings after I vacate the room.

I'm not quite 5 feet tall and have an even shorter inside leg measurement than the OP? I've stayed in Premier Inn hotels countless times and NEVER had a problem. I find that higher beds are easier actually, just sit on the edge and swing my legs onto the mattress and getting out of bed is a breeze!
