π§ What Makes a Bed Squeak?
A squeaky bed can be frustrating, especially when every movement comes with an unwanted noise!
But what actually causes it? π
π© Loose Fixings β Over time, bolts and screws can loosen, allowing parts of the frame to move and rub together.
π οΈ Incorrect Assembly β Components that are not properly aligned or secured can create unnecessary movement and noise.
π Uneven Flooring β If your bed is not sitting level, the frame may shift slightly when weight is applied.
ποΈ Mattress & Base Interaction β Friction between the mattress, slats or supporting base can sometimes cause squeaking.
π‘ Our Tip: Before assuming your bed needs replacing, check that all fixings are secure, the frame is correctly assembled and every leg is making proper contact with the floor.
πͺ A well-constructed, correctly assembled bed frame can help minimise unwanted movement and noise.
