bedframe HELP!

Ritz · Dooney & Bourke

get a normal bed frame... i think they all have wheels, and then go to bed bath and beyond and buy bed lifts.. they create tons of space under your bed (but if you have a thick mattress, will make it really high!)

Tall Black Bed Lifts™

Give your bed an extra lift with these practical bed elevators. Available in sets of four, they'll raise your bed by 7". Simply attach to bottom of bed posts and you'll instantly have more storage under your bed. Each block is 8" H and fits up to 3" casters or posts. Made of high density molded plastic.

You can do this or make your own.

I'm at college, living in the dorms and a lot of people bring in bed raisers if they can't move the mattress on the frame (we have special beds). Some make wooden blocks or use cinder blocks to raise it as far as they want.

hey lynnie - those basic frames have i think a pretty standard height, which is why they make those bed raiser things, which are your best bet - i'm about to get some myself!

jettie · Kate Spade

I just got some bed lifts for my bed frame (purchased them at bed bath and beyond). I love it now - I have so much room for underbead storage and I think having my bed a little higher off the ground looks a thousand times better.

Hermione · Kate Spade

are there some like special long bedskirts or anything? do you guys know of any?

bumblebee · Coach

usually they give you those simple metal bedframes for free when you buy a mattress, so that may be why they are hard to find on their own. maybe try a discount mattress store (i think you guys have sleepys in NY) and maybe see if they'd sell you a separate one for cheap.
