Abstract: An apparatus for raising one end of a bed which comprises the placement of elevator blocks under the support legs of one end of a conventional bed. The elevator block comprises top and bottom ends that are non-parallel planar surfaces. The planar surface of the top end is inclined to allow for proper mating of the top end of the elevator block with a bed leg in the bed's raised position. Provision is also made for a removable insert in a cavity of the top end of the elevator block, so that bed legs can sit either within the cavity for increased stability or upon the top of the insert, depending upon the size of the bed leg. The use of slip-resistant materials on the surfaces contacting either the floor or bed leg also add to the stability of the bed in the raised position.
