Bed raisers and sex

[peckaboo]

So, we're trying to increase storage space in our teeny tiny flat, and my husband suggested getting some bed raisers to increase the space under the bed. Something like this: Buy 7-Inch Power Bed Riser (Set of 4) from Bed Bath & Beyond
(I know, pretty ugly. But less so than having all our stuff cluttering up every available surface!)

However, I'm concerned that the bed will jump/slide off them when we're having sex! :o Does anyone else have any experience of this??

We have a small double (4 feet wide) with short cylindrical wooden legs that don't have wheels on them.

I don't think it would slip off. It looks like they don't just sit on top, but there is a little "dugout" that they sit in. At the bottom of the page, there are wooden bed raisers as well, and they have little dugout nook-type holes the legs would fit into. I think it's a great idea to make space for under-bed storage.

I think you should try them out! If you crash, it would be great for a laugh...and...surely your husband would love such a memory???

There may or may not have been a crash in my past involving a twin bed that collapsed as the bed boards slid off the rails.

Thanks Valley Gal - I hadn't noticed the wooden ones on that site!
JCLover - that's hilarious! Good to know you survived your crash (that may or may not have happened ).

I've had some (not the powered ones, but a similar shape/material). The bed won't slide off. (Don't think we didn't try!) I used them on hardwood and also carpet without a problem.

7 inches is a lot higher than it sounds. You might want to pick your bed up 7 seven inches (stick some books under the legs) and see if you like the height before you order.

I'm pretty sure you can get some bedraisers just for those types of purposes.

But I'm not sure how long this thread will stay in the married couples forum.

Oh my...

Have those exact same raisers.

You'll be fine.

Have sex on the floor.

The bed raisers are good for this.

Seeingeyes - you were right! 7 inches *is* pretty high! We settled on some shorter ones in the end. No accidents to report so far

Wille T - I like your style haha!

Didn't really occur to me that this might be inappropriate for the married couples' forum - I just though of it as a practical home improvements question - but I guess it does have potential to go awry!
