PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a handrail and a bed which can prevent a user placed on a mounting table from easily operating from inside. A handrail (10) has a plate-shaped handrail main body (11) arranged at an edge of a bed, a shaft portion (15) provided on the handrail main body portion (11), and a fixing member through which the shaft portion (15) is passed. The operating portion 20 includes a support portion 18, a coil spring 19 through which the shaft portion 15 passes, an operating portion 20 inserted in the shaft portion 15, and a rotation regulating portion 32 that regulates the operation of the operating portion 20. By pushing and pulling, it is changed to a released state or a regulated state, and when it is rotated, it is changed to a used state or a non-used state.
