It’s not just about elevating your bed; it’s about elevating your lifestyle. Yes, the mattress matters, and so do your bed linens, but have you ever considered how the height of your bed can be a game-changer?
From aesthetics and accessibility to ergonomics and storage, bed height affects multiple facets of your bedroom experience. If you’re seeking tips on how to make your bed higher, this is your definitive guide.
Whether you’re tired of stooping down to a low bed or are looking to create more storage space, raising your bed height is a simple yet impactful way to transform your bedroom.
Bed risers are convenient tools designed to lift your bed to a desired height. They come in various materials such as wood, plastic, and metal.
Pro Tip: Make sure to choose a riser that complements your bed’s material for added stability. Also, consider your mattress type. A thicker mattress like the Puffy Lux Hybrid may require more robust risers for adequate support.
For those who prefer a hands-on approach, creating a custom platform or adding wooden blocks can be an exciting project.
This option provides the luxury of adjusting your bed height electronically, giving you both comfort and flexibility.
The Puffy Adjustable Base is an excellent investment if you’re considering this route. Not only does it allow you to change your bed height effortlessly, but it also offers additional features like built-in massagers.
If standard methods don’t appeal to you, there are other creative ways to give your bed that much-needed lift.
Replace the existing legs of your bed frame with taller furniture legs. This is a subtle yet effective method to add a few inches.
For a rustic or industrial look, using cinder blocks as a base can give your bed significant height. However, ensure that the blocks are secured properly to avoid any risks.

Platform beds are generally lower than traditional beds. However, elevating them follows similar principles but with some unique considerations.
When elevating your bed, don’t forget about the surrounding furniture. Ideally, your nightstand should be at the same height or slightly lower than your mattress, allowing easy access to your bedside essentials.
Using books is generally not recommended as they may not provide a stable base and could get damaged.
A higher bed can make it easier to get in and out, potentially easing back strain. However, the quality of the mattress is equally critical for back health.
The height needed for under-bed storage depends on what you plan to store. A clearance of at least 12-18 inches is usually sufficient for most storage boxes.
Bed height matters in ways that are more significant than one might initially think. From ease of movement to aesthetics and storage options, raising your bed can significantly enhance your bedroom and, by extension, your life.
