Corner Protectors & Edge Guards

Coffee tables, hearths, bed frames and worktops sit right at head height for a toddler who is learning to walk. Corner protectors and edge guards soften those edges. This collection includes clear silicone corners, foam edge strips, bed frame corner covers and wall corner protectors, from brands such as Roving Cove, uxcell and MONOID.

Choosing the right type

• Clear silicone corners are discreet on wooden and glass furniture.
• Foam edge strips come on a roll and can be cut to length for long table edges and hearths.
• Bed frame and wall corner covers fit larger, square-edged corners.

Fitting tips

Clean and dry the surface before you stick anything on, and press the guard in place for a minute. Most adhesive takes a day to bond fully. Adhesive can lift paint or leave marks on some finishes, so try one piece somewhere out of sight first. Check guards now and then, because a loose one is easy for a toddler to pull off and put in their mouth.

Listings often give lengths in feet or inches: 6.5 feet of edge strip is about 2 metres.
