Our advice Buying Guide

Bed step stools are very handy not just in the bedroom, but also for various office and home maintenance tasks. These days, you have plenty of bed step stool options, and choosing the right stool for your needs can be tricky. To help you with that, this article is going to be a bed step stool buying guide.

What's the average weight capacity of bed step stools?

Generally, a light-duty step stool can hold a weight of up to 200 lbs. A medium-duty and heavy-duty step stool can hold up to 250 lbs. Since bed step stools are mostly used to help people get in and out of bed, the most critical factor to consider when choosing one is the product's weight capacity. The last thing you want is an accident because the step stool you bought can't take your weight.

Another essential point to consider is the weight of the stool. Don't make the mistake of just focusing on the weight of the user as stools can get very heavy.

What are the pros and cons of different materials used for step stools?

Bed step stools come in different materials like plastic, metal, and fiberglass. Each material has its pros and cons.

Plastic bed step stools are lightweight and cheap. They are your best bet if your budget is a bit tight and you just need something that’s lightweight and portable. On the downside, plastic step stools can't carry much weight.
Metal bed step stools are very durable. They can easily hold more weight. On the downside, metal stools are more expensive.
Fiberglass bed step stools are lightweight and tougher than the plastic versions. However, they are not as robust as metal step stools.

How high should a step stool be?

Generally, bed step stools come with one, two or three steps.

A one-step stool is good if you just need something that gives you a quick boost.
A two-step alternative is useful if you have a bed that's raised or high.
A three-step is best used by those who have problems raising their knees too high.

One of the reasons why people use a bed step stool is because of the extra height boost. Hence, the height of the step stool should be considered carefully.

What are the pros and cons of folded vs molded bed step stools?

Where you will store your bed step stool will play a huge role when it comes to choosing the right product. You generally have the option of opting for a folding or molded step.

A folding step stool is capable of collapsing, which makes it easier to store. If your storage room doesn't have too much space, then a folding step stool can be a good option. On the downside, a folding step is usually pricier when compared to a molded step stool.
A molded step stool doesn’t fold or collapse. Hence, storage can be an issue. On the upside, it's more affordable. If you have enough space in your bedroom or you won't be storing it, then a molded bed step stool can work.

When it comes to choosing the best bed step stool, you need to know the most important factors. Keeping in mind the factors we mentioned above is always a good start.
