Hello everyone, I have a Malm bed from Ikea, and for some time now, annoying squeaking noises occur when moving on it. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to identify a specific cause because the squeaking can be heard in different areas – from the slatted bed bases to the bed frame. My question is: How can I effectively eliminate these squeaking noises on the Malm bed? Are there any proven methods or special maintenance techniques that can help? I have considered tightening the screws or lubricating the contact points, but what approach is truly effective without damaging the furniture? Thanks in advance for your helpful tips!

How exactly should I proceed when using silicone spray, for example? Do I need to partially disassemble the bed for that?Regarding your question, Fritz_meo: Silicone spray should be applied sparingly and precisely. After cleaning the relevant joint with a dry cloth, spray a small amount onto a cotton cloth and rub it into the contact points. This helps prevent overapplication. It is recommended to use it on easily accessible areas without the need for disassembly. While regular maintenance is generally not necessary, if the part experiences frequent load changes, a refresh every 6-12 months can be considered.

The result is much better, the squeaking has almost completely disappeared! The combination especially helped a lot with the Malm bed. Many thanks to everyone for the helpful tips and encouragement!
