How to Adjust the Height of a Box Spring

You don't have to buy an adjustable box spring to have a higher bed. A more affordable alternative is bed risers (also called raisers, lifters, elevators), which are simple devices that can increase the height of your bed a few inches. Bed risers,made of wood or other materials, will adjust the height of your bed permanently, unlike adjustable beds which you can manipulate into a chair position or a leg rest. Bed risers work for beds with stick or straight legs and allow for a storage area under the bed and for the bed cover to hang above the floor.
