We determine the causes of squeaking

When buying a bed, many believe that the high price and expensive material guarantee the quality of sleep. But even the most expensive product can cause restless sleep accompanied by unpleasant creaking, disturbing rest.

Angles and mounting

The most common places from which issued creak - and mounting angles

Today, the market can find a variety of sleeping bed:

  • wooden or chipboard produced;
    wooden bed

    Selena wooden bed with bedside tables

  • metal;
    metal bed

    Metal bed in a modern style

  • to hoist;
    Bed with lifting mechanism

    Design options with lifting mechanism beds

  • inflatable.

To the question: if the creaking bed, what to do? - the answer is simple: you need to take immediate action. And to begin with an explanation of the causes of bad "sound" of the defect.

Determine the source of the squeak

To determine the source of squeaks 1 persons seeking position on the bed in which it is heard by ear 2 tries to identify the source

Unfortunately, these "songs" - do not uncommon. Experts believe: the main cause of squeaking is the friction of individual elements of the product that occurs:

  • as a result of poor quality of assembly;
  • attachment points;
  • at the joints;
  • with prolonged use.
We check the mattress and the frame

We check the mattress and the frame for the presence of individually squeak

There are other reasons that lead to the appearance of a defect, not connected with the operation life:

  • the constant improvement of the load;
  • the impact of the environment, resulting in a change in the geometry of the product;
  • loosening fasteners.

Scrape may come from different parts beds frame, a spring mattress, a metal mesh mounted on the basis of wood.

Check the mounting slats to creak

If the mattress and the frame does not creak - creak may manifest in a place of fastening slats

If creaking wooden bed

Bed on the wooden base can deliver a lot of trouble creaking, if the items rassohlis or, on the contrary, were filled with moisture in a damp room. Loss of shape of the product leads to an increase in cracks and gaps and the emergence of "songs of bed."

Butt joint

Determine how to arranged a butt joint Bedstead in the place whence the creaking

Start inspection is necessary to check the place where a bed: it often happens: it is on the floor is uneven, so it suffices to find a suitable place and move on a smooth surface to get rid of annoying "Music".

We put on an extra washer

If it is impossible to pull the end of the butt joint bolt that fits over the bolt additional washer that it took the free space between the bolt and the element Bedstead

Sever frame members

Sever frame members included in the butt joint problematic

The source of the unpleasant sounds can be a spring mattress. Experienced Handyman advised to check it, lying at various points: it is possible that the place of occurrence of the problem is found.

The problem in the mattress

If the problem lies in the mattress or box spring is necessary to place a mattress or box spring smoothly and try to find the cause

It is believed that it is possible to remove the basic movement: simply turning the other side of the mattress. However, if the "feel" strong enough, the product is better exchanged.

Expand mattress

You can deploy the other side of the mattress, or simply turn it over

When the bed is used for a long time, it:

  • may become loose and podkashivatsya legs;
  • wooden structure becomes less stable, and squeaks - louder.
problem areas

Wooden furniture tends to shrivel, thereby creating a gap between the parts (problem areas) that rub against each other, creating a creaking

Eliminate them several techniques:

  • if weakened fasteners, to solve the problem is quite simple: it is necessary to pull wrenches;
  • joints rub paraffin, soap or silicone;
  • large gap lay slices of thick fabric or leather.
Universal spray WD-40

You can use a universal spray WD-40 by spraying them all connection bed place before tightening the bolts and nuts tightly

However, the most effective is the use of special rubber glue or metal clamps - depending on the nature of the damage.

rubber cement

The rubber adhesive provides a reliable and flexible gasket integrally interconnected skleivat all treated items

Feature of methods of working with glue lies in the fact that:

  • the design will have to be completely disassembled;
  • carefully put on every detail of the glue and let dry out a bit;
  • connect all the design elements of their tightly pressed;
  • return fixture in place.

It should not be forgotten that to disassemble the wooden bed will no longer be able after a thorough sizing.

laying option - cork

There is another option pads - cork, cut the size of the cork gasket and the assembly put between the boards or components

Bed with lifting mechanism

hoist

In bed with lifting mechanism is a source of squeaking mechanism itself - can not be repaired and must be replaced

Despite the fact that most of the beds - wooden stationary, the market can meet the product with a lifting mechanism.

The emergence of a squeak

The occurrence of squeaking appears as a result of the friction of one part against another

This design can be the source of the squeak if:

  • there were problems with the founding of the state;
  • not all right with the lifting mechanism.

Get rid of unpleasant "music" in the first case can only be addressed by the developer to replace the base - no other options here.

The mechanism itself is usually sufficient to lubricate the silicone, and if necessary - tighten the fasteners.

poorly threaded screw

Screw with a bad thread must be changed and broken holes repaired with glue and dowels

Eliminate squeaking metal bed

Metal bed can also upset by extraneous sounds, but the removal of scratches is very real; most importantly - the right to determine their source.

Creaking metal bed

Between the friction parts of the metal frame of the bed, you can insert special gasket

Source squeak What to do
cranky mechanisms Replace conventional fixtures
mating surfaces Wrap with plastic wrap
A tank grid Replacing or handling special tool

Experts say that the repair of metal beds are not a lot of options:

  1. Tightening the fasteners on the connection parts; with a special attention should be paid engraving puck, which is to protect the nut from unwinding. If there is no connection points are weakened very quickly. If for some reason it does not exist or it is broken, it is required to deliver that will ensure the reliability of hardware.
    fixing bed

    Fixing bed need to check and tighten each of them

  2. If the source of discomfort is a metal grid (grid), which is still found on older bedding, you can try it lubricate, but the likelihood that it will cease to creak, very small.

To reduce the "sound" of sleep, you can:

  • sawed the legs, making the bed is slightly lower - it will reduce squeaks;
  • put under the grid veneer sheet - result significantly soften harsh sounds.
    We put plywood sheet

    At the bottom of the bed can be additionally laid plywood sheet

Council. A veneer can be installed if there is a mesh bulkhead: without it he will not stay long.

If creaking legs

Damage to bed legs

One of the reasons squeak can be split or broken bed leg

Quite often, the source of the squeak become legs. Causes of many happen, but are the most common:

  • too large permanent load on the bed surface, which may lead to deformation of the part or its complete destruction;
  • weak fixation fasteners.

The most rational solution is to pull-up assembly of parts; it should be done carefully.

Attention! When tightening the nuts do not need to overdo it: If you drag the connection, Bedside or leg may be broken.
