I have a bed that looks like this, doesn’t have legs. I have a bed that looks like this, doesn't have legs.

I was looking at bed risers, but they’re aimed for beds with legs. Also, the risers make the bed rise too high for my needs.

I only need to make the bed rise for about 2-inches so I can use an overbed table like this.

    To get that thing under the platform, you’re going to need to add stubby legs like the ones on a stuffed chair, unless you want it to look like a dorm room with sticks or bricks. At a guess, I’d say you’ll need 1 leg for every 2-3 linear feet that the bed contacts the ground. Don’t forget the center support.

    Platform beds aren’t designed to have legs, so you’ll need significantly more legs than a framed bed would have. You’ve got to spread the additional stresses evenly or it’ll all loosen. It’ll start creaking and the drawers will get stuck with too few supports.
