Guard rails for cosleeping in mahoosive bed

I want to buy a mesh guard rail to keep 5mo DD safe in our king size bed as I currently only have a makeshift guard which is safe but not a long term solution. Has anyone bought a guard rail recently they can recommend? The ones that I can see on Amazon that say they will fit my bed are only available in the USA. Thanks.

Got one from kiddicare for bout £24. Fits under almost any bed and has straps to secure. It folds up or down and is about 4ft in length. Makes co sleeping much easier for me although DS does try to climb over it when awake at night but at least he doesn't slide onto the floor when asleep now.

I use a lindam bed guard, works well for us!

Excellent, thanks both of you! Will look them up!

I'm a longtime co-sleeper with my DCs and have just discovered these foam-wedge things called magic bumpers (sold on amazon). They just go under the sheet and you can combine different sizes and positions to fit your sleeping arrangements. They've worked really well for us and look much neater than our old Tomy bedguard.

Can I ask, how do you stop your DC crawling over them?

Co sleeping babies, don't fall out.

At least DD2 didn't.

This is totally amazing, as she has fallen out of almost every other bed she has ever slept in.

She's almost 12 and still falls out of her double bed.

She dozed off on the sofa the other day and I returned to find her asleep on the floor.

Why, she' s perfectly coordinated when she's awake.

Baby Dan do a nice one, it's not mesh though, it's wood. It matches the frame on my bed so looks pretty smart. I got it delivered by John Lewis

I got one from Tesco direct, think it's lindam.

Just coming back to this after a busy Christmas, thanks for all you replies. Startail I agree that most babies won't fall, DD is certainly quite still whilst sleeping but it's just peace of mind really. I have just ordered the Magic Bumpers that Frontloader suggested - thanks for that - I think they will work best for us. Thanks everyone and happy new year!
