Best bed rises according to redditors

Maybe just get some bed riser feet and put them under the changing table legs?

Back in '03 I moved into Day Hall and we used bed risers to get storage underneath.

I definitely recommend getting bed risers (I had some like this). They help store a lot more under your bed, which I think would be a good place for games.

YAY! :D let me think.... I'll add things to this post as I think of them.

Bed Risers

This Book (my cousin got it for me when I started college way back when, and it really has a lot of good advice)

An electric kettle

Also a planner! I like to make my own and use different colored pens to differentiate between my classes! If you want the template I use for my planner, I can send you a link to it! :D

For me, it's important to be able to stow the drafting table when it's not in use, so my setup is:

Folding table (found mine at Aldi for $25)

Risers to bring it up a little higher

On top I have this big board with a 1-inch-square grid that I can stick pins in and iron on. It's from my grandma, so I'm not sure what it's called or whether they're still sold. Before she gave it to me, I was thinking about buying something like this.

Enjoy your new sewing studio!

We use bed risers under our changing table. Works wonderfully for us.

I lived in Sauv 2 years ago but I'm pretty sure the furniture is the same in all the dorms. Yes the beds can be raised and lowered a bit but if you want a good lift on it you should get some bed risers cheap ones
the desks don't have locking drawers or anything but you can get a laptop lock with a steel cord that can wrap around the back of the desk to secure it.

The "bed" is just a mattress, box spring, and I'm guessing a standard metal frame?

Lose the metal frame and box spring and get yourself a frame with drawers, or just throw the metal frame on risers and get some plastic bins to slide under the bed.

Get some bed risers.

2 inch bed risers from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Slipstick-CB654-Furniture-Risers-Supports/dp/B01FN4KGD8/

Or if you prefer 1 inch blocks that you can customize as needed

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075LJR7XL/ (comes with 8 x 1 inch blocks, stackable)

honestly just do the same setup as u/carcaju suggest and mount the tv as it is in the picture, put the desk in the same spot as well. Definitely ditch the entertainment center. if that dark blue (?) lounge chair thing has 4 legs you could potentially get bed raisers like these to put creat some space for your records and games and such, and then itll be a little higher as well for better tv viewing

What you need is a a full-sized wedge pillow. they're more expensive, but at least they wouldn't cause you backaches.

An alternative would be to get bed risers (example: https://www.amazon.com/Home-Adjustable-Risers-Furniture-Heights/dp/B00MH74S16). Just put these under the two front legs of the bed and you're ready to go. It's also generally cheaper.

I recommend buying bed risers to elevate your bed so you can fit some storage bins under the bed.

We put our Nitro on bed risers like these, and that's been working well. The extra five inches makes a big difference.

Don’t stack mattresses. You will not get the support your meant to get. I think it voids you’re warranty. Buy risers. Utopia Bedding Adjustable Bed Furniture Risers - 3, 5 or 8 Inch Heavy Duty Risers for Sofa, Table, and Chair - Set of 4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073WFCV1L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_weQ4DbVJG6CSK Whitmor Bed Risers - Black (Set of 4) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004AGP0U0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_1eQ4Db7WDHTBR Kyrieval 3 Inch Bed Risers Heavy Duty U Shape Adjustable Furniture Risers for Casters Wheels of Furniture, Sofa, Table and Couch 4 pcs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TP7P1V8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_pfQ4DbQYT7EP8 there are all kinds. Pick the right kind and right height. Measure and know how much to raise it. Those are some examples. There are tons.

I've owned a dozen beds and lived in a twice as many places over the years, mainly from being in the army. The best thing I got into was using bed pylons or cinder blocks (one time I used both). They lift the bed up (pylons about 6-8") which makes the area under the bed GREAT for storage. A lot of containers (even plastic ones with sliding drawers) then fit underneath.

The best part is how cheap it is. The pylons are really cheap and you can get them at walmart/amazon wherever.

If you're worried about then bed being unstable I never had a problem. I'm 6'2 and at my thinnest in the army I was still 230 and I've always had a vigorous dating life. The bed never fell off them (they actually have a depression at the top where the legs of the bed sit in and they're shaped like a ziggurat (aka Frustrum) which is just a pyramid With a flat top)


Just saying It's a 20$ fix and after 20 years I'm still using them.

edit: addendum I actually bought a set of similar items to raise my kitchen table up so I'd stop hitting my knees on it and I have a set for my electronic drum set which I felt was too low to the ground. Being tall (and I really don't consider 6'2 too tall) means you're constantly having to adjust things for height.

Try desk risers. Changed my life: http://www.amazon.com/RAISE-820-0533-S-Clear-1x4x4-count/dp/B002FJ5PW2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417800895&sr=8-1&keywords=desk+risers

These fit legs up to 2 3/4" wide, is that enough? (You didn't say exactly how wide yours were.) You'll need multiple sets.

I don't need these, but these bed lifts are really useful at helping manage storage space better.

I imagine you're being sarcastic, but it's super easy

Also see if you can get risers like these to put furniture on.

We went with this biometric safe. It actually fits perfectly in my nightstand.

We also got bed risers which allow us to stash the Liberator Ramp & Wedge underneath our formerly very-low bed. I only found out after ordering that our bed has 6 supports (not 4) so I had to order a second set. But it was still totally worth the investement. The new height allows for better edge-of-the-bed sex too. At any rate, if you are willing to raise the bed, you will have more options for storage.

Why not something like this

I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I found having my bed higher made getting out of it easier. I don’t know if your particular bed frame would support it, but bed risers are an inexpensive option that can give a little height to make getting out of bed/couches/chairs a bit easier.

Underbed storage, yes. You can also buy risers (eg) to give yourself more underbed storage.

The views from the north tower (or anywhere, really) depend on how high up you are and which direction you're facing. I've only seen south-facing on the 14th floor and it was a pretty solid view (Williamsburg Bridge, among other things) but I can't speak for anywhere else in 3N.

Don't forget risers! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MH74S16/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_NFkKAbF1GP4KN

Put some bed risers (e.g. like these) under the Linnmon's legs? I have some risers under my guest bed, and they seem perfectly stable with sleepers, people sitting on it, or whatever.

Or layer some MDF to create a spacer between the legs and top? MDF takes paint well, so you could probably match the desk's color pretty well.

Agree with the other guy that raising the bottom would be easier. Something like this might get it done easily.

Stacking the road case, and adding these cheap risers have saved my back.

Would these work?

Sorry for the late reply. I don't get on here very much.

I used a generic pack of bed risers that I got on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Greenco-Strong-Furniture-Design-Storage/dp/B01CG8QW3W/ref=zg_bs_3732271_2/164-4782299-6161933).

I placed the entire desk, with casters on the bed risers. Removing the casters would have resulted in a 1-2" reduction in height. The casters can lock and orientating the wheels at 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees results in no horizontal movement when working.

The setup I am using seems to work and lowering the desk to its lowest position still allows me to sit in my computer chair and work.

I would highly recommend a standing desk. My posture has improved and I have noticed an improvement in my lower back tone. The desk is also neat because you can force yourself to do leg exercises, i.e. squats and calf raises, and it slowly becomes second nature. My gf walked by my office yesterday and asked me what the hell I was doing and I was unknowingly doing squats.

Good luck!!

I bought one of these frame and put it on top of these. And it's an extra thick mattress, to boot.

Well the particular ones I was thinking of were from a dollar store, but here are some still very reasonably priced ones: https://www.amazon.com/Greenco-Strong-Furniture-Design-Storage/dp/B01CG8QW3W/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1475016562&sr=8-17&keywords=furniture+riser

It's usually cheaper than a pillow, and from those I've talked to more comfortable for sleeping

You can pick up a set of these at a local retail store for like $8

They lift the bed legs up so you can get the drawers and shelf under the dorm bed. They come as is it with Bluetooth outlets.

Maybe something like this ?

I use a small flat-pack desk. It's not great but does the job and doesn't take up too much of my one-bedroom apartment. I've also used a drafting table in the past. They're nice because you can usually adjust the height and they've got a lot of surface area. Quality ones are quite expensive though and the surface area actually tends to be larger than you can use ergonomically. You'll end up not able to reach the opposite edge comfortably because they're designed to be used in a vertical or slanted orientation, which you really can't do while working on figures.

If I had space for it, I'd probably invest in an L-shaped computer workstation and adjust the height by adding furniture risers. They're inexpensive and offer plenty of workspace. Spend more on the chair. A quality chair is really valuable if you're going to spend hours sitting.

Ahh that's brilliant I'll try that! I assume you mean something like this..

I have a basic metal frame (most similar to this without middle supports) underneath my mattresses. I want to raise my bed to store stuff underneath in some wooden drawers I made. I'm afraid if I use traditional plastic bed risers it'll break through and crush my stuff. Should I consider metal ones instead?

If the bed isn't adjustable, you can purchase bed risers like these for pretty cheap from many stores: https://www.amazon.com/Home-Adjustable-Risers-Furniture-Heights/dp/B00MH74S16

I bought these at Bed Bath and Beyond (link leads to same product sold through Amazon) 2 years ago before I moved into Warren. I just moved into an apartment for my third year and am still using the same risers. They're very sturdy and are easy to use. Gets you about 8", so less than what others might give you, but they've worked well for me.

Here's an idea, I've had to use something similar and it was sturdy for my bed:

If you have a single or double, get bed risers. https://www.amazon.com/Home-Adjustable-Risers-Furniture-Heights/dp/B00MH74S16/

I have so much space underneath my bed to store stuff now.

Have you considered using table leg extenders/risers on a regular table? Something like this could work.

I have not personally used any of these products but a quick search showed some with really good reviews. As a rule I typically don't advise people on how to spend their money, but if I were looking for risers I'd go with these:
