Hello everyone, I recently got a Malm bed from IKEA, and it squeaks very noticeably with every movement. I find this surprising because the bed seems quite sturdy and is made of wood. I have already checked whether the screws are loose, but so far I have not found any looseness. My question is therefore: What could be causing the squeaking in the Malm bed, and how can it be best and permanently fixed? Are there specific spots I should pay special attention to, or are certain aids like lubricants or washers recommended? Thanks in advance for your tips!

The squeaking stopped, and the bed moves more smoothly, almost like it’s freshly oiled 🙂 If that doesn’t help, you’ll probably need to replace the problematic parts or re-tighten the screws.
