How to Lower My Mattress
Lowering your mattress may be a necessary step to ease the process of getting into and out of your bed. There are two ways to lower your mattress. You can purchase a metal bed frame that would replace the supportive role of the box spring with metal bars across the width of the frame. Or you can create a support system to work within the bed frame itself, as described here.
-
Remove your mattress and box spring from the bed frame. Measure the width of the frame with the tape measure.
-
Purchase 16 2-by-4-inch wood planks cut specifically to the length matching the width of your bed frame.
-
Place each of the planks across your bed frame on the ledge formerly holding your box spring. Arrange the planks so they are the same distance apart.
-
Lay the mattress onto the planks carefully so as to not shift the planks while placing the mattress onto the bed frame.
