Step2Bed
Step2Bed is a bedside mobility aid designed to make getting in and out of bed safer and easier. It combines an adjustable-height step, supportive handrails, a wide non-slip stepping surface, and motion-activated lighting to provide added stability and confidence during bed transfers.
It can be especially helpful for older adults, people with limited mobility, individuals recovering from surgery, and anyone who has difficulty getting into a tall bed.
Step2Bed features a heavy-duty steel frame with durable metal components, a wide non-slip stepping surface, rubber leg tips, supportive handrails, and a motion-activated LED light.
The standard Step2Bed measures approximately:
- Overall dimensions: 32" W × 18" D × 32" H
- Step surface: 32" W × 12" D
- Adjustable step height: 2.5"–7.5"
- Handrail height: 32"
- Product weight: Approximately 21 lbs.
- Weight capacity: Up to 400 lbs.
We recommend measuring the area beside your bed before ordering to make sure you have enough room for the Step2Bed.
The step can be adjusted from approximately 2.5 to 7.5 inches using six different height settings. This allows you to position the step at a comfortable height for your bed and mobility needs.
Yes. Step2Bed includes adjustable Velcro straps that secure the unit to your bed frame and help keep it properly positioned beside the bed.
Always follow the included assembly and installation instructions before using Step2Bed.
Yes. Step2Bed can be configured for use on either the left or right side of the bed, depending on your room layout and personal preference.
Step2Bed is designed to work with a wide range of common bed frames and mattress heights.
Because beds and bedrooms vary, we strongly recommend checking the product dimensions and measuring the available space beside your bed before ordering.
The standard Step2Bed requires approximately 32 inches of space along the bedside and extends approximately 18 inches outward from the bed.
Step2Bed can work with many adjustable beds, but compatibility depends on the design of the bed frame and where the securing straps can be positioned.
Make sure the Step2Bed does not interfere with any moving components of the adjustable bed. If you're unsure whether your bed is compatible, contact our team before ordering.
The standard Step2Bed supports users weighing up to 400 lbs.
Different Step2Bed models may have different specifications, so please review the specifications listed on the individual product page before ordering.

Rubber leg tips help provide grip while protecting the floor beneath the unit. Always make sure the Step2Bed is positioned on a stable, level surface before use.

For the safest use, keep the stepping surface clean, dry, and free of loose objects.

Safety
Step2Bed may be helpful for:
• Older adults
• People with tall beds
• People with limited mobility
• Individuals with balance concerns
• People recovering from hip or knee procedures
• Individuals who need additional support during bed transfers
• People who have difficulty seeing the floor during nighttime bathroom trips

Individual mobility needs vary. If you are unsure whether Step2Bed is appropriate for you or a loved one, consult a qualified healthcare professional.
Step2Bed is designed to provide greater stability and support while getting into and out of bed and to help reduce common fall-risk factors associated with bedside transfers.
No mobility aid can eliminate the risk of falling. Step2Bed should always be used according to the included instructions and based on the user's individual mobility needs.
Step2Bed is designed to support safer and more independent bed transfers, but it should not replace caregiver assistance when a person's mobility, balance, strength, or medical condition requires additional help.
