Chair Raisers and Bed Raisers

Raising the height of a bed, chair or sofa by a few inches makes it considerably easier to sit down and stand up, which is one of the simplest changes you can make at home if getting on and off low furniture is becoming a problem.

About Our Furniture Risers

Our risers slot under the legs of most standard beds, chairs and sofas and come in plastic and wooden options with non-marking bases. They are available in different heights, and some can be stacked for extra lift. Joanne, our Bristol showroom manager, covers chair height and its effect on comfort and independence in her guide to adjustable height chairs.

Furniture Riser FAQs

  • How much height do I need?

    The right seat height puts your hips at or slightly above knee level when seated, with your feet flat on the floor. If your current furniture leaves you sinking too low, measure the difference between your ideal seat height and the current one. That gap is the riser height you need. Getting this right matters, as too much height can be just as awkward as too little.
  • Will risers work with my furniture?

    Most standard beds, chairs and sofas with discrete legs will take risers without any issue. Check that the leg diameter fits within the cup of the riser before ordering. Furniture with a solid base rather than individual legs, such as a divan bed or platform sofa, is not suitable for standard risers.
  • Are furniture risers safe?

    Yes, when used correctly and within the stated weight limit. Place them evenly under all legs, check that the furniture sits securely before use, and do not stack risers beyond what the manufacturer recommends. Non-marking bases protect floors and reduce the risk of slipping on hard surfaces.
