How effective are these on bed frames that are low to the ground?

I would think as long as the wheels went into the center (or bed posts) it should be fine. I used a company who gave me theirs to use- bedbugcentral.com. They are black which apparently is more enticing to the little critters. But it's the same premise- these were pretty heavy duty. I didn't use them so I'm not sure if they would crack if they were on carpet. My other ones did (different company). You have to make sure your bed linens and comforters aren't touching the floor. And your pillows, etc shouldn't be touching the wall. Make your bed an island. You can also get GREAT info from blog called bedbugger.com. Good luck!

They work fine if frame legs fit inside center and nothing else like blankets and sheets touch the floor or walls. The interceptor is designed to isolate the bed. Hope this helps

We didn't find these to be effective at all. They don't work no matter what the bed height is.

I did buy these and I was surprised that they cracked from the feet of the bed- I am very disappointed.

I have a set that I use going across my queen size bed to help keep my flat sheet in place. it works good for me. They might not go much shorter than that though.

We got them to protect new hardwood floors from a heavy leather couch & loveseat. They work great and don't move around. They are pretty thick so I think it would take a lot for the bed to be heavy enough to ding the floor.

I guess it would depend on the height of the unit. Mine are approx 2.5 feet off the ground. They go on when you are about 5 feet away from them @ that height anyways. Hope that helps.

I think it would work great on something like a folding chair or chase lounge. I dont think I would use it on a bed frame because although it is firm enough to use on the floor its not firm enough to use on a bed frame unless you put something else underneath it. We have two of these shibokutons and we are very happy with them. My wife sleeps on them.

You can use them to raise almost everything but I only used 2 each to raise my bed 2 inches. I would not use too many on nighstand. You can try and see how sturdy it will be. Mine are too low now but I just use them like they are. They will support the nightstands though. Hope this helps somewhat.

We use them as bed rails. They work great. Use cotton sheets not microfiber though because the bumpers don't work well with slippery sheets and we've found our microfiber sheets to be pretty slick.

It would probably work for a low profile bed since the handle is on the long side. The wooden part is quite heavy so the light weight mattress shouldn't be an issue to keep it in place, but extra weight would be helpful if the user is going to put a lot of force on the bar when getting up.

I guess it would work, but because of the weight of your bed, I'd use one every few feet (not just in the corners). They are flat on top, with a cut out to put the legs.

Ideally You will want them 6-12" off of the ground, but if you do not have a wall anchor, that is ok too. I have them mounted on the ground. I laced them through kettle bells so they are on the ground level. They are still affective.

yes, they adjust to different bed widths easily and have extenders that will work for taller bed frames. check the manufacturers specs to make sure they will fit your bed. they have worked well for us and were pretty easy to install.

Might work if you had pieces of wood attached to the edge of the bed. Otherwise would probably slide off.

That was my initial concern as well. For the full size bed we used these on, they work great. There isn't any wobbling or noises. They stay firm and hold the bed securely in place. I am very happy with these as I have tried many others that failed miserably!

Ok, lets try again. Well, the casters are very strong, so they are sturdy enough for that themselves. But if you have your bedframe on a slight angle (what will happen if you have the foot height low, the two in the middle a little higher (a few inches) and the two at the headboard highest (maybe 4 inches higher) then the holes in the steel frame will be on a slight angle (unless they adjust on your bed frame - which I have never seen but hey, maybe you have a bed frame with adjustable caster mounting holes) and most bed frames are fairly cheaply made and do not have the necessary strength to hold the bed weight on this unintended angle. The frames are made to bear straight down on the casters. You could probably have a welder tack a little support rod around the holes to strengthen them maybe. That would be a lot of work though.

I would have to say no, the legs of your bed sit on the risers and the risers themselves are flat on the bottom. Once installed they are not made to be moved and the weight of the bed keeps them in place. Have to add they work great and are very sturdy.

For the purpose I used them for they were excelent. They held a nice bit of weight and they were adjustable. I still like them today. If the floor is sloped, there is a little play in them. However, they are not of real high quality. the plastic on the bottom was held with a screw. If the floor does not have a major slope; they will probably work.

My twin bed has a headboard that I think gives the bed more weight. I don't sit at the end of the bed only on the side. Ive had no problems with the frame or tipping.
