00:00Our oldest son is a squirmy sleeper, so it's not uncommon for him to squiggle his way off

00:07the bed during the night.

00:09Here's a tip we found that works great.

00:13If you have pool noodles laying around, use them.

00:15If you don't, it's worth the purchase.

00:17A pack of four noodles typically costs less than $20 online.

00:21All you do is place a pool noodle on the open side of the bed, or on both sides if the bed

00:26isn't against a wall, and make sure to put the bottom sheet over the noodle so it won't

00:31roll away.

00:32The pool noodles act as bumpers, and they are so much cheaper than proper bumpers, which

00:36run around $40 for one.

00:39If you don't have a pool noodle, roll up a few towels or blankets and place those on

00:44each side of the bed.

00:45Again, cover the bumpers with sheets.

00:48There you have it.

00:49A super simple alternative to bed bumpers.
