I have a bed that looks like this, doesn’t have legs.
I was looking at bed risers, but they’re aimed for beds with legs. Also, the risers make the bed rise too high for my needs.
I only need to make the bed rise for about 2-inches so I can use an overbed table like .
Have you considered a completely different style of table? This style might be an option:

I’d just cut the frame to fit the table under it.
Maybe finding a differently designed table is the way to go. Perhaps someone makes one where the base is intended to be tucked under the box spring, for example.
Maybe attaching the table directly to your bed frame is the answer, rather than raising your bed.
Regardless, don’t restrict yourself to Amazon. Look at websites for medical supply companies. I would expect them to have more varied solutions.
EDIT:
Maybe something like this https://www.medline.com/product/Pivot-Top-Steel-Base-Overbed-Tables/Overbed-Tables/Z05-PF08581?question=overbed%20tableDisclaimers: I don’t know what your budget is, or what country you live in. Yeah, it sucks that the website makes you log in to see prices, but at least it’s Medline. They’re a big name.
Put a hollywood frame under it. You might need to add a wooden frame to the Hollywood frame.
Then the bed would be on wheels…not sure if you want that but it does make cleaning under it much easier.
Luke: All right, I’ll give it a try.
Yoda: No! Try not. Do… or do not. There is no try.
[Luke tries to use the Force to levitate his X-wing out of the bog, but fails in his attempt.]
Luke: I can’t. It’s too big.
Yoda: Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere. Yes. Even between the land and the ship.
Luke: You want the impossible. [sees Yoda use the Force to levitate the X-wing out of the bog and gets flustered when he does it] I don’t… I don’t believe it!
Yoda: That is why you fail.
You could set the bed on top of pieces of 4"x4" lumber
Probably be easier to remove 2 inches from the table. Take to a welder and have them cut a chunk out of the middle.
The legs of the table need to go under the bed.
Currently there’s zero space under the bed, that’s why I need something similar to a riser.
Can you take the tube out and rotate it 180 degrees?
You would have to watch the balance a lot though
This isn’t a terrible idea like I initially thought. Permanently attach a heavy counterweight to the base of the overbed table and it’ll be more stable.
I’m hoping OP will be able to find an overbed table for situations where sliding the base under the bed isn’t possible. They can’t be the first person in the world with this problem.
Without the base being under the table it is just a lever. Sure, people run into this, but you basically need a large and solid frame off to the side to keep it from tipping.
I think if you put a 50 pound barbell plate on there it would be pretty secure
Placed at the very end it would be evenly balanced at 50 lbs. It would be OK around 20ish lbs that didn’t move, but a little weight plus setting things down would make it wiggle and possibly tip since something moving down has more force than the object itself.
2 plates? The solution is easily scaled up. Lol
