Would this ramp indoors for getting up and down a high bed?

it is very steep. It will reach your high bed but the ramp itself woul be better if it were longer. my dog has bad knees and hips and it is just too steep and he wont use it

Patti, I was not impressed in the least with this ramp and ended up sending back to Amazon. We have an Australian Shepherd and he slipped and slided all over the place when we tried to teach him to use the ramp. And it is very steep. I cannot recommend it.

It is tall enough but very steep. It was difficult to get my old shepherd to go up and she had to get some momentum going first to be successful. My other dog has bad knees and hips and I bought this to teach him before knee surgery but had to push him up it, at that point I knew there was no way he would be able to use it after surgery. In the future I will look for a longer ramp for a more gradual incline.

This ramp may be a bit unwieldy for that when it comes to folding it up and getting it out of the way, depending on how much space you have. Also, if you have a very stubborn pet, it may still jump up on or down from the bed even if the ramp is in place. My dog is in recovering from ACL surgery, and she is at the point now where my husband and I have to stand alongside the ramp on either side and encourage our dog to use it or she tries to jump into and out of the car on her own. Dangerous.

I don't have an answer for you but I'm looking for the same thing! I have a 10 yo 3 legged mini schnauzer and I have a very high bed as well. I'm wondering if you tried this ramp or if you found 1 that does work?

We have only used it for getting our aging and arthritic 80 pound Golden Retriever into the back our our Honda CRV. It works well for that. Might be about the same distance as a high bed. We picked this model for the width more than anything plus the stability.

I've never used it to down stairs but I would imagine if would work just as well as going upstairs.

Possibly, but it wouldn't be optimal. The stairs are integral to the bed structure, which makes it really sturdy altogether. Taking the top bed off is easy, though it may sway a bit by itself, though you could possibly add a crossmember in the back to help with that.

I think you could because the base of the bed sits pretty high up from the ground. In fact you probably would have a significant space between the trundle and the bed I bet.

Should work, especially if your dog is already accustomed to using a ramp. The ramp's length and the crosswise ridges provide a gradual rise with non-slip surface.

I think it would be fine, but I would closer to the outer edges of the platform to distribute the weight a little better. My bed is very high and it works very well. Love it

I would say yes but please have 2 people to hold it in place one on each end of the ramp. I always hold it in place w/ my foot when I use it for my RV.

That really would depend on the height of your bed and type flooring you have. The more you extend for height the less stable the unit becomes.

Good Morning- Yes this ramp should work very well for you. The size that you would need will depend on how high the rise is. I would like to go over a few things with before you choose which size ramp you want to order. Please contact us at 847-680-7700 M-F 7 AM to 5 PM. Thank you so much and have a great day. Kim

Not likely. It's not high enough. It might work if you're sunk into a low sofa.

The step is about 8 inches high, so depending on how high your bed is, it could help.

No sir, not likely. They are not designed like that. It will not be stable, nor easy. Build a proper ramp.

My suggestion is to weigh the dimensions of the extend-a-room with your ramp. If your ramp is bigger, it should be just fine. If it's smaller, probably not.

Not really, but be prepared to have to climb to your bed if that's the case. Adding a box spring would make it, in my opinion, way too tall.

There would be that gap at the top of the bed where you would usually slide down but you would be able to do that

no the bed will not move easily with risers. they have a safety non-slip grip on the bottom

I would say this ramp is more made for the back end of a vehicle. I think it could be used indoors, but it most likely be way too long and in the way...
