I have some flimsy generic plastic bedrisers that rise my bed by placing them under my bed frame. They are not durable. They break easily and my bed falls down off of them. How can I make some durable safe bedrisers?

buy blocks of wood and add heavy duty velcro to bottom of bed legs and tops of wood blocks : get a piece of 4x4 or multiple 2x4s(nail them together to get desired width) cut them down to size check the scrap lumber at big box hardware stores or lumber yard/mill near you for lower cost wood or here are videos how to make some https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrP1eSLk5vw another https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xywzFn6O_fo buy some wood ones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3vH8rIIFxg more to buy https://www.google.com/search?q=wood+bed+risers&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS750US750&oq=wood+bed+risers&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60j69i61j0l3.6435j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Get yourself Four (4) 6" cubes of hard wood, have someone put a divot in the middle on one side of each cube so the leg of the bed will sit in it and not slip. There, you will have four bed risers, or you can go and buy them.
Hubby used wood blocks. They are 6 inches tall and he carved wells in the wood where the rollers sit without moving about. He did this about 10 years ago and they are still working fine.
Get a 3 inch or 4 inch Hole Saw, your drill and a 5"×48"×3/4" stock of wood. You should be able to get 16 to 24 bed risers out of this stock of wood. You would be suprised the actual Quality Furnitures you can make out of these and Glue and Stain and a few nails.
You can buy the premade ones that the people above have told you about.
