This is a great way to use cheap materials for high impact. Construction Tips from Improvised Life website.
Use only enough blocks to place them exactly the mattress’s footprint (even if it meant spacing the blocks a bit or using a different size). To reduce their massive weight, arrange the blocks in a rectangle with a hidden piece of plywood resting on them to support the mattress. Also, place furniture sliders on the bottom of each block to keep them from damaging the floor and making it easier to move the bed.
A coat of paint (and bumpers) would be nice.
