Safety guard rail when overhead bunk is lowered.

So first off I had a mattress cover (not thick) over mattress. Nothing else. Dealer said it would void my warranty if motor failed. So they removed it.

Secondly, I don’t want to install the safety net with seat belts, don’t want to drill holes in ceiling. I’m interested in a guard rail that can be moved stored when we don’t use with grandkids. I didn’t know if IKEA rails would clamp on the wood lip of the frame? Looking at Amazon looks like most baby rails fold down but the mattress sits lower than the frame so not sure these would work? I don’t think the pool noodles or bumpers are safe enough for the height of the bed.

The ones with an arm under the mattress work fine

We have used the ones with the arms that go under the mattress. The wood rail actually gives it more support as the mattress "gives" enough so they can be placed inside up against the frame. Don't need the ones that go all the way under the bed with an anchor system ( usually a disc that goes flat against the mattress side. The wood rail keeps it in place and secure. Folds up and gets stored when not in use. Used for years with my grands, but they are bigger now so permanently stored under the bed in my bricks and sticks guest room. Used for the drop down bed (princess bed) and for bunk beds.
Good luck.

Did they give you back the mattress cover?
Or did they confiscate it, and keep it as evidence for your trial?

Thank you for the reply, makes sense. Do you know what brand it is by chance? Otherwise I will try ordering one from Amazon.

I'd call them, and tell them that there was a mouse nest in it... When are they coming to clean the RV?
