Thank you! The styrofoam comes in one big piece it measures 2inches thick by 4ft wide by 8 ft long. Hubby cut two pieces the of the same so each step would be 4 inches high. The biggest piece is 16" wide by 36" long . You cut them like this:

2 pieces 16" X 36"
2 pieces 16"X30"
2 pieces 16"X24"
2 pieces 16"X18'
2 pieces 16"X12"
2 pieces 16"X6"
You glue from the biggest to smallest. My hubby used regular "liquid nails"
To add extra comfort I cut out 1" cushion and glued it on top of each step so when he steps on it its really soft. My bed is pretty tall and these steps are 27" high. So you might need one less step,so measure your beds first. It was totally worth it because right now I can't buy steps already made for $139+
