Frequently Asked Questions
What are bed risers?
Blocks or cups that go under each bed leg, raising the whole bed higher. Makes getting in and out easier when bending is difficult.
How much higher?
Usually 3-6 inches. We assess what height works for you - high enough to help but not so high you can't get in.
Are they safe?
Properly fitted risers are very stable. The bed legs sit securely in cups or on blocks. We check stability thoroughly.
Do you supply the risers?
We can supply or fit ones you've bought. We ensure they're weight-rated for your bed and positioned correctly.
