Elephant Feet Healthcare

I was concerned that many of the raisers did not look as if they were safe for a sofa with castors. This product has an indent in the top lined with a disc of firm foam. When I put the castor in the raiser, the foam made a round indent just the right size and shape for the castor and it was deep enough too. I used this product on a heavy sofa with 4 feet on castors. It is very sturdy and safe. I did not have any trouble placing the raisers under the sofa despite being a quite frail elderly person. The sofa is now the right height so I can get up easily after sitting on it. before I had these raisers I could not sit on the sofa because it was too low.

Had to get these as my last bit of equipment in readiness for total hip replacement. Bed needed to be raised from 19" to about 23" so looked on the net for bed risers. Hundreds of them with lots of different designs but very few accurate measurements and descriptions mostly for spindly-legged chairs and beds with castors. After much deliberation plumped for these although again, very difficult to tell what they were going to look like or what size they are from the description. They're fine. They are light grey plastic, weight 200 grms each, measure 9.5 cm across the bit where the leg goes in, 30.5 cm diameter round the top, 10.5cm high and the diameter of the bottom of the foot is 50 cm. The bed leg would sit just inside the top on a piece of foam rubber, reinforced under that with a cross bar of plastic which makes them strong enough to hold a good weight. They will fit 'bun feet' wood bed legs thank goodness as that's what I was looking for. Not sure about thinner, castor type legs as the rubber forms a sort of cushion just inside the top of the well. Not pretty and if your house is furnished entirely normally they'll stand out like a sore, grey foot. They do the job very well and, as they were bought sight unseen as it were, I was really pleased.

I only needed 6 of these and unfortunately they only come in packs of 4. However, they do the job I needed. Great for a bed or a settee but maybe a bit unstable at the 14cm height for a chair. Of course they are loose (not linked to one another as some are) and so you need to be careful locating them - but they have a large diameter curved cup with a rubber cushion that locates a castor well. I didn't want to have any sideways free movement following hip surgery. The raisers are well made in tough polypropylene and should be very durable.The only downside of the purchase was that having paid for express delivery - I got my confirmation from Amazon advising the delevery date would be 1 week! Of course it was delvered next day thank goodness. Amazon you need to get your act together - if they had it would be 5 stars.

These work very well. For medical reasons, I use them to raise the head only of the bed. My feet stay warm when I do this and sleep is less disturbed. Wonderful!These raisers are strong and stable. They have a dense foam insert for use with wooden legs, or you take out the foam and there is a recess for castors.I bought them to take on holiday but they are bulky, so you need a car. Also someone strong to fix them under the bed legs. If you do this, remember to bring them home with you - the next guest may not appreciate sleeping at an angle!!These arrived promptly and do the job very well. You can't stack them up like some other products, so the raising level is set at 5 1/2 inches, but that is adequate for me.It was great to be able to use them on a recent holiday; despite being bulky, they are very light in weight.

These really do work well. I was slightly wary at first. Simple idea, but brilliant. Needed to raise a Parker Knoll armchair to the correct sitting height for a relative who has had a replacement hip operation. All feels very stable and strong when fitted. Don't slip - so no worries when getting on and off the chair. Different heights available to suit. Much cheaper than buying a new chair. Absolutely great and highly recommended.

Liked the idea of these especially with the large spread at base but my chair tipped over when attempting to sit down, decided they were not right for my chair.

Used these to raise a high sleeper bed higher by 5.5 inches and had also bought the 3.5 inch ones as well which I doubled up and used to take up the space under the ladder. They work perfectly and are very strong they can take an even load of up to 500kg over all 4 of the legs. The legs on the bed are only about 35kg each with me sleeping on it so nothing to worry about there. They are pretty big but then they wouldn't be called elephants feet if they weren't but aside from that I'm very pleased with them and they have been perfect for what I wanted. Definitely recommend.

I bought these as temporary lifts to an old antique writing desk that I have that isn't really designed for the more modern chairs. My office chair had no hope of getting under the desk with me on it, so rather than replacing the desk I bought these feet to boost up the desk to a more usable height.These are quite large sturdy plastic cups and they are never going to win an award for their clunky looks, but to raise a sofa up a few inches or to raise a desk to a more usuable height they are perfect. You could even bring up the height of a hefty oak bed I suspect. They feel very strong and I suspect they will be able to withstand quite a heavy weight. My temporary measure has now stayed permanent!Size wise, I guess they are about 5 or 6 inches in diameter, so they are definitely not small. The name elephant feet fits them perfectly because they are big, fat and grey!
