To buy bed guards or not?

Hi all. DD is almost 22 months and recently transitioned from a cot to a single bed due to reaching height limit for cot and attempting to climb out!

She's taken to it very well (first night she was up and down bug she slept through last night!) However, I am quite paranoid about her rolling out onto the floor in the night. I did think about purchasing bed guards/rails, but I've heard that they can be potentially unsafe as the child can get wedged between the guard and the mattress.

I don't want that to happen of course, but I also don't want DD to hurt herself rolling out of bed! We currently have her old cot mattress and some pillows on the floor to cushion her fall if she did roll off.

Is this sufficient do you think? What did you do when your toddler first went into a single bed?

Thank you Smile

We used a bed guard, its great no complaints, and canbe used on all size beds if needed.

Means she can keep her toys in with her without loosing them in the night
