Abstract: The present invention is an adjustable height bed side guard device and method to reduce the risk of a child from falling out of bed while sleeping and help wean or transition a child away from needing a bed side guard. The bed side guard height can be adjusted and reduced or raised in set time intervals, providing a simple, step-by-step process to help a child become confident as well as subconsciously accustomed to being in a bed. The device comprises at least one elongated bolster with two or more connected layers that are assembled on top of a conventional mattress and secured in operative position along one side of the mattress by a conventional mattress pad or fitted bed sheet covering the mattress and the bolster and is tucked under the mattress. Multiple devices may be used to provide further security on all sides of a bed.

The bed side guard height can be reduced or raised in set intervals, providing a simple, step-by-step process to help a child become accustomed to and confident about being in a bed without a bed rail.
