VIDEO: The slatted frame is squeaking

As a rule, a slatted frame rests freely on the bed struts. Therefore, he also has the opportunity to move. When this happens, the squeaking really starts. With every movement in the bed then this noise sets in and hinders a healthy one sleep. As soon as the slatted frame rests on top or bottom of the bed, it rubs against it and triggers the squeaking. Even if the neighboring slatted frame is touched, a squeaking occurs because there is friction here too.

1. First you need to get suitable wood screws.
2. Then remove the mattress and align the slatted frame in such a way that it does not hit anything on either side.
3. Then screw it to the bed struts.

Use foam against the squeaking of the slatted frame

If you don't want to screw your slatted frame together, you can of course also work with foam:

1. Cut the foam so that you can then make stronger cubes that are the same height as the slatted frame itself.
2. Now attach these foam cubes at regular intervals so that the slatted frame cannot hit the bed on either side.
3. In the case of a double bed, you must also attach these cubes to the second slatted frame and between the two slatted frames.

With these two measures, you should be able to get a peaceful and restful sleep in the future.
