Hello everyone,
I have a question that has probably been asked before, but I want to phrase it as precisely as possible to get targeted advice: How can I stabilize an IKEA Malm bed on uneven floors? Specifically, my bedroom has a slightly uneven laminate floor, which causes the bed to wobble and squeak when moved. The usual method of using small shims or cardboard strips seems a bit insufficient, as the unevenness extends across multiple points. Are there any special adjustments, professional tips, or purpose-made tools that can secure a piece of furniture like this permanently without damaging the bed or compromising its stability? I would really appreciate any experiences, tricks, or recommendations.

I know exactly how frustrating a wobbly bed can be – it doesn’t feel comfortable or relaxing at all.
I once had a similar problem with slightly uneven tiles. My solution was a combination: I leveled the floor under the legs using thin, self-adhesive felt pads and then combined those with self-adhesive screw-in furniture glides on top. This way, I was able to almost completely compensate for the unevenness of the floor and also secure the bed.
The bed has been stable and completely noise-free for over two years now. So, it might be worth trying a combination of different methods.
Good luck with your project!
