Question
is there an additive to put in the bowl to keep control odor when bowl can't be emptied daily

Answer
Unfortunately, we do not have any additives available to put in the commode.  The only item we carry that may aid in more frequent changing would be liners for bedside commodes.  This way the commode may be used and emptied by the tie of a bag instead of dumped and cleaned every use.

Question
how would i fasten this to my kingsize home mattressplease helpis additional products needed

Answer

Thank you for your inquiry. Please see below for assembly instructions. Feel free to contact us if you require additional

1. Pull product out of box and remove Safety Lock Pins (7).
2. Rotate Handle Tube (2) into upright position that is 90 degrees from Base Tube (3).
3. Align holes at the base of Handle Tube (2) with the holes in Bracket (4).
4. Insert Safety Lock Pins (7) into the aligned holes to secure Handle Tube (2) in the bed
rail user position.
5. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
�� Make sure the handle height avoids small gaps between the Bed Rail Advantage
handle and the top of the mattress to avoid entrapment of users head, body, arms,
or legs.
�� Position the Bed Rail Advantage handle at least 2 feet from headboard or
footboards of a bed to avoid entrapment.
�� Make sure the Safety Strap secures Bed Rail Advantage handle against the side
of the mattress to prevent gaps between the Bed Rail Advantage handle and the
side of the mattress.
6. Place the Safety Strap (8) around the Base Tube (3) and loop the Safety Strap (8)
around the bed frame. Adjust the Safety Strap (8) so the Bed Rail
Advantage is tightly against the side of the mattress to prevent entrapment and to prevent
movement of the Bed Rail.
7. IMPORTANT: The Base Tube (3) MUST be placed between the mattress and the box
spring of the bed! Mattress should cover the entire structure of the Base Tube (3). Do
not use the Bed Rail Advantage with lightweight mattresses such as foam. Lightweight
mattresses could increase the possibility of entrapment.
