More than 14,000 Amazon shoppers love these adjustable bed risers, so you can store more stuff under your bed
College dorm rooms are infamous for many reasons: ugly wooden furniture, uncomfortable mattresses, old musty carpets. But the biggest woe of dorm room living is undoubtedly the tiny space.
Organizing all your necessities into a dorm room’s minuscule footprint is one of the great challenges of college life. Maximizing your square footage is the name of the game. Sometimes that requires a little creativity, like giving your bed a lift to maximize your under-bed storage.
Enter Adjustable bed risers. This greatly underappreciated necessity of college living is an absolute dorm room essential. Though bed risers may just look like hunks of plastic, they are a small-space lifesaver. Put one under each of your bed posts, and you instantly have an increase in under-bed storage for drawers, storage containers, cubbies — whatever.
Available in three colors.
These highly-rated bed risers on Amazon are just what your dorm needs — especially for just $20 and some change. This eight-piece set comes with four 3-inch risers and four 5-inch risers, which can be used alone or stacked to create a major 8-inch lift. To install, all you have to do is slip the risers under each leg of your bed. That’s it. Just make sure you have a friend or two to help out.
Luckily, these risers are strong, too. They can support up to 1,300 pounds, which is plenty to support those super-heavy dorm bed frames. The risers also have raised edges around the bit where your bed posts rest to prevent your bed from slipping off the boosted base.
With more than 14,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, these risers are tested and approved by college students across the country.
“[These risers] raise beds in college dorm high enough to get large plastic storage bins underneath,” one reviewer wrote. “Dorm beds are very heavy and have bulky square legs, but these risers accommodate them perfectly — and bed is very stable.”
“I bought these for my college freshmen daughter. We used the highest combination to create storage space under her bed,” another reviewer wrote. “She couldn’t have fit all of her belongings in the dorm room without these. She has tall plastic bins that easily slide in and out from under the bed. She loves them. Simple and cheap, but priceless knowing they made her feel at home.”
So maybe you can’t have a bigger room, but you can at least add a little extra space in your dorm for your clothes, books, linens and more.
Available in three colors.
