I need a gap filler for the head of my bed.

Can anyone recommend a cheap one that they have had success with? I keep dropping stuff behind my bed though that gap. I looked on Amazon and they had too many choices for me to choose from. Does anyone else use one and do they work ok?

Can you just use a small pillow? That's what I did for the gaps in Mum's hospice bed -- that, and rolled up towels.

@SW-User rolled up towels might be a good idea. I sleep with a lot of stuff on my bed and am always dropping stuff back there in my sleep. I’ve tried pillows and they somehow move out of the way.

@Mardrae Hand towels in the same color as your bedding might work.

How big is the gap?

Some some rubber?

@Convivial not sure. I tried shoving the mattress up closer to the wall but I’m not strong enough. The gap pillows I see online all have sizes so I wouldn’t know what to measure. It’s a queen size though

Try a big pool noodle.

@Mardrae other Americans I have spoken to say they are a common thing at dollar stores, Kmart , yardsales ,Walmart etc.
Just so you know 🤷

@OogieBoogie I will check Walmart then. I have lost so many things in the gap that I need to get a broom to sweep out under my bed.

@Mardrae they are from $1-$3 each here. Also those foam rubber blocks they sell for mattresses covers or for pillows, they can be cut to size.

Line the gap with cling film making sure you use plenty.so its like a mould finish with plywood at the ends . Now mix enough plaster to fill the mould and pour in .it should set in 3 to 4 hours

@Banksy83 wow- that’s a unique idea!

Would a foam pool noodle help with that?
