As I have GERD, that has led, most unfortunately, to interstitial lung disease, I needed to raise the head of my bed a full six inches. I had been using 3 6-inch square blocks of 1 1/2-inch thick board, giving me about 4 1/2 " rise. Installed these and they work perfect. Very sturdy, has a small "well" to keep the bed frame wheels locked in place. I am very pleased and plan to take two of them with me to France for an extended trip to use with the hotel bed. Delivery time was very short also.

Update: June 2010

After using these risers for about a year and taking them on several trips, I can whole-heartedly endorce my 5 star rating. They work great; they are relatively light while providing great support. At 250 pounds, I am heavier than many, but the risers have not broken down at all. I stuff socks or something else inside one of them when I pack two of them. They have been to France, Mexico, Guadeloupe, a couple of National Parks, and under three different beds in my home. The "indent" in the top keeps bed legs that have wheels on them from moving around. Great product.

This morning at 2:33 AM I woke in a startled state mostly reserved for a near death experience. As it turns out, one of my four Kennedy Home Collection Bed Risers had broken, rapidly dropping one corner of my bed 6 inches. There was NO WAY that we had exceeded the weight limit documented for this product. I would highly discourage anyone from purchasing this item.

Pros:

The base is 6 9/16 inch square floor footprint.

The cup size in the top is tapered down to about 2 3/4 or just a shade under.

Sturdy black plastic with the cup in the top to keep things centered.

Cons:

I had 3-inch round plastic support feet for my queen frame and had to shave off some girth to make them square and allow them to rest fully into the base of the cup.

The overall height of the riser is 6 inches, but it actually only raises the bed frame by 5 inches, because the cup itself is 1 inch deep. Even though I was wanting the 6 inches in height, the 5 is exactly what I needed.

I also wish they came is something other than 4-packs. I had to buy three boxes because I needed 10 total. Now I have 2 left over, but oh well....

Honest reviews on KENNEDY Home Collection 5 to 6-Inch Black Bed Risers,4-pack

The wheel in one corner of the bed punched through the cheap plastic three days after installation. The bed is not unusual, just a normal mattress and box spring. These are just not very well made. I would recommend the solid wood type, even though they aren't as tall.

i was happy with the height and ease for about 2 months than a hole was punctured in the platform by the frame leg. i will look for wood or a riser more sturdy to replace the 3 corners that are left!
