Bed leg raisers are placed under the legs to raise the height of the bed. This can make standing easier.

Double beds can have four, six or eight legs. a more comfortable and stable position can be achieved in a bed with four sections, as the user’s bottom remains horizontal while the knees are raised to form a break;
