DIY bed risers are a simple sturdy solution for a short bed when you need more storage. You can make these easy and inexpensive bed raisers for less than $15.
How long you cut your riser pieces will truly depend on how tall you want your bed but we went with 7 inches. Using the 4x4 board chop down all your risers, don’t forget the middle support beams as well.
Once you have made all of your cuts you will need to use a 1-inch hole saw to make your middle hole cuts to place the metal bed frame (without the wheels attached) down into. I would suggest checking out the pictures within the post if you are confused about this part.
Measure the length of your bed frame as they may all differ.
Measure the center of the 4×4 so you will know where to make the hole cut and drill all of your holes.
We then took a 1x6x6 inch board and cut down 6-inch pieces to screw onto the base of the 4×4 pieces (using 2 2-inch nails in each base). This piece is what helped them but nice and sturdy.
