DIY Bed Risers From Scratch



I am not going to write a long post for making your own DIY bed risers instantly. Its a hack to raise your bed without having to buy pieces of wood or anything else. All you need is four cardboard boxes of the same size. You might have these lying around the house. You just need to stuff the boxes with old books. If you do not have enough old books like me. Stuff them with old clothes or clothes that you are not wearing. Make sure to wrap them in a plastic bag before stuffing them inside the box. Seal the box with a large tape and tie a string or ribbon around it if required. Create 4 boxes in this manner. Place a thick book or book with a hardcover on each box. You can also place something else on the box such as a piece of hardwood, plastic or any waste material that you can find. In my case, books worked fine. I wanted to simplify my bed, creating more free space in my room. So I separated the crown (with legs) of my metal bed and placed these boxes below the bed frame to create a shorter and simpler bed. It will work best for children's bed and for those who are not overweight. 
Let me know if you created your own bed risers and if you found this useful.
Tip: You can also use bricks or concrete blocks instead of boxes if they are easily accessible.
