5" is highly popular for people with high profile mattresses. Our 5" bed leg system lowers your bed and at the same time still provides a good size storage under your bed. A lower bed makes it easier to get on and off the bed for shorter people, including small children, and those with mobility issues like the elderly and injured people who may be recovering. Choose a short bed leg if your mattress is thick and the bed has become inconveniently tall. Better than metal bed frames, our bed leg system is extremely durable, strong and will not wobble. Each leg can withstand up to 2000 lbs of direct weight without breaking. Our bed legs system can easily support and evenly distributes the entire weight of your bed on the floor surface. With proper support, your mattress will last longer and your sleep quality will improve. Our bed legs are ideal to use around toddlers and babies and those who are blind or visually impaired. Their compact size and light weight make them ideal for rooms that are tight or hard to reach like in the attic or upstairs. Installation is simple: use a screw driver to attach the base plate onto your box spring and screw the threaded leg stem into the base plate. To adjust your bed height, simply unscrew the leg stem and replace it with a different size Universal Bedleg leg stem. When deciding on the leg height, measure from the bottom of your box spring to the mattress surface (including any mattress covers, pads, and toppers) and subtract that number from the desired height of the mattress from the floor. Consider the drop length of your bed skirt and your headboard size and style before finalizing your decision. Base Plate: 4 3/8" x 2 7/8"; Bottom Base: 2 3/4" dia; Installed Height: 5"
