Bed Raisers

Bed Raisers

If you or a loved one is finding it harder to get in and out of bed, a small change in height can make a big difference. Bed risers lift a bed, sofa or chair, easing pressure on hips and knees and making standing up much safer. Whether you're planning ahead or need a solution quickly, our range of bed raisers offers a simple, affordable way to add comfort and independence to their bedroom.

Choosing the Right Bed Risers

The right bed risers depend on your bed, and a few small details make all the difference. Here's what to check before you buy:

How your bed is supported

Check whether it stands on legs or castors, as this decides which style of riser will actually fit. Some are designed to grip around a leg; others sit specifically under a wheel.

The size of the leg or castor

Measure the thickness of the leg or the diameter of the castor, since most risers only suit up to a certain size. Getting this wrong is the most common fitting issue, so it's worth measuring first if you're unsure.

How much height you need

A modest lift of two or three centimetres can ease pressure on hips and knees, while a greater rise may suit someone who struggles to stand from a low bed.

The weight capacity

This matters particularly for heavier beds or larger users, so check the maximum load listed on each product page before buying.

Adjustable or fixed-height

Adjustable versions let you fine-tune the lift as needs change, while fixed-height risers offer a simple, set amount of extra height.

If you're ever unsure, check the compatibility information on the individual product pages before purchasing, or get in touch with our team for advice.

It's also worth noting that grip-style raisers aren't suitable for profiling beds (electric beds that raise, lower or tilt in sections), adjustable beds, or recliner and riser-recliner chairs, as these need their legs left free to move safely.

Which Type of Bed Riser Do I Need?

There are three main styles of bed riser in our range, each suited to different beds.

  • Adjustable bed risers let you fine-tune the height within a set range, making them a flexible choice for beds with legs. They're sized specifically for single or double beds.
  • Grip-on bed risers, such as our SureGrip Raisers, clip or twist securely around the leg or castor, offering a stable fit across a range of leg thicknesses.
  • Fixed-height bed risers are built specifically to support beds, chairs or settees running on castors, providing a set amount of extra height that can be built up in stages if a larger lift is needed.

Every bed is different, so it's always worth checking how yours is supported and measuring the leg or castor size before buying. Exact height and weight figures are listed on each product page. If you're comparing styles, browse our full range above or contact our team, who are happy to help you find the right fit.

Complete Your Bedroom Setup

Bed risers often work best as part of a wider bedroom setup that supports safety, comfort and independence. A few complementary products worth considering:

  • Bed Grab Rails give something secure to hold onto when getting in and out of bed.
  • Bedroom Aids cover a wider range of products designed to make daily routines easier and safer.
  • Bed Trays & Tables are handy for eating, reading or keeping essentials within easy reach.
  • Mattresses & Mattress Toppers add pressure relief and support for a more comfortable night's sleep.
  • Pillows & Bed Cushions provide extra positioning support and comfort where it's needed most.
  • Waterproof Bedding offers practical protection and extra reassurance, particularly during recovery or if incontinence is a concern.

Together, these products help build a bedroom that works harder for whoever's using it, not just for now, but as needs change over time.

FAQs

How do I know which bed risers will fit my bed?

Start by checking whether your bed has legs or castors, then measure the leg thickness or castor size, as most risers only fit up to a certain diameter. It's also worth checking the maximum weight capacity against your bed and its user. Compatibility details are listed on each product page, or you can contact our team for guidance.

How much height do bed risers add?

This varies by product, from a modest lift to several inches, and some styles can be built up in stages if a larger rise is needed. Check the exact measurements on the individual product listing to make sure it suits your needs.

Are bed risers suitable for all types of beds?

Most divan, wooden and metal-framed beds can be raised with the right risers, though the exact fit depends on whether your bed has legs or castors and the leg thickness. Grip-on raisers aren't suitable for profiling beds (electric beds that adjust in sections), adjustable beds, or recliner and riser-recliner chairs. If you're unsure, our team can help you check compatibility before you buy.

Are bed risers easy to install?

Yes, most bed risers are designed for simple, tool-free installation. You typically just need to lift each corner of the bed slightly and place the riser underneath or around the leg.

Can bed risers be used after surgery or during recovery?

Many customers use bed risers to make getting in and out of bed easier while recovering from surgery or a hospital stay, as the added height can reduce strain on hips, knees and joints. Always check with your GP or occupational therapist if you're unsure whether raising your bed is suitable for your recovery.
