<p>PVC pipes, concrete blocks, etc. But what's the best way to raise your bed by six inches so you can store stuff under? When I toured one of the rooms at Georgetown, this girl had this "thing" that was an excellent way without resulting in scrapped knees, unstable bed, etc. It was a black post where the legs of the bed sit on stop securely. But I don't know where she got it.</p>
<p>So, any suggestions? Please...</p>
<p>try Bed Bath and Beyond once they get the back-to-school stuff in. I think they're called "bed elevators". They only work if the bed has 4 individual legs. Some beds have head/foot boards that extend to the floor instead of legs, and you'll need something else.</p>
<p>well, some beds are reversible. you can put the longer legs under the bed and the lower ones over. it gives you less room on the bed if the beds are bunkey, but you have the space under the bed...</p>
<p>there is a company called bed lofters (or something like that) that goes into the dorm rooms and actually raises the bed off the ground fairly high. You can place lots of stuff under the bed that way. The probelm is the bed is really high and depending on the configuration of the room may be hard to climb into. It does give lots of space though. I know Syracuse offers this as an option I'm not sure which other schools do.</p>
<p>If you only need 6 inches, bed risers (aka "elevators") are the way to go. They're cheap, easy to get under your bed and you don't have to build anything.</p>
<p>Bed risers can be found at...? Bed, Bath, and Beyond? Target?</p>
<p>i got my bed risers at bed, bath, and beyond. most of the big chain stores like target and walmart will have them around back to school time, they usually cost under/around ten bucks for a set.</p>
<p>I got my 6 inch bed risers at bed bath and beyond.</p>
<p>Get them early, as soon as you get to school. If you wait very long they'll be all out, and they won't be getting more until next year.</p>
