Along the same lines, I'd be interested to see what kind of bed rails people are using.
I made one for our daughter when she was a toddler out of very small PVC pipe and scrap fabric. Two small pipes, one of either side of the rail, fit under the mattress. They connect to the actual rail with a 90 degree fitting. The rail is shaped like a rectangle. It was very inexpensive and took about 5 minutes to build. You could even glue it for added stability but I like being able to break it apart for storage purposes. I had some scrap fabric around and sewed it like a pillow case to slide over the top so she didn't slip through the pipes. Super easy and cheap. Not appropriate for infants.
