Bed elevator block

An elevator block for use in raising one end of a conventional bed supported by a plurality of legs resting on a horizontal bed supporting surface, comprising:

• (a) a top end adapted to support a corresponding leg of the bed and having a substantially planar surface;
• (b) a bottom end adapted to rest on said bed support surface;
• (c) said top end having a front edge and a rear edge, with the rear edge defined to be proximately located nearest the uppermost portion of the raised end of said conventional bed;
• said planar surface of top end being non-parallel to planar surface of bottom end;
• said planar surface of top end being an inclined place such that the height from the bottom end to the front edge is less than the height from the bottom end to the rear edge;
• (d) said top end further including a cavity comprising a base, an opening in said front edge, an insert which is sized so that it may be removably mated within said cavity, said insert having a protrusion which fits within said opening of said front edge to allow the insert to be grasped and removed from the cavity;
• (e) said protrusion further including grooves to allow the insert to be easily grasped and removed from the cavity;
• (f) said insert further including a front and rear sidewalls that are tapered;
• and
• (g) said insert further including an upper surface which comprises a slip-resistance surface adapted to help keep the bed leg from slipping during use.
