Hello everyone, I have an IKEA Malm bed that continues to squeak despite cleaning. I have checked all the joints, tightened all the screws, cleaned the metal rails, and even tried light lubricants. However, the squeaking persists, especially when moving or putting weight on the bed. Has anyone had similar experiences or tips on how to permanently eliminate the noise? I would prefer not to buy new parts or completely disassemble the bed unless absolutely necessary.
If the furniture joints are really solid and the squeaking persists, check whether the slatted frame itself is causing the noise. Often, it is not the bed frame but the slatted frame that squeaks when moved.
Replacing or lubricating individual slats or the support points can then help.
