Anyone know how to keep the bed frame from squeaking?

I re-tightened the bolts after about 2 weeks and it stopped, but a friend with same bed said that it didn't work for him, so it probably depends on where the noise is coming from.

I am no expert, but here is what I would do. Check the two upper body legs, the ones that fasten to the axle under the meter. and make sure the right one is on the right side and the left one is on the left side. If that is OK, disconnect the two lower horizontal bars (71) from the peddles (75) and then work them back and forth, one at a time by hand. Hopefully something should squeak. Once again, make sure the left one is on the left, and the right one on the right. Try flipping the brackets around on the peddles and see if they squeak. Turn the peddle unit over like a bicycle wheel and make sure it is not an internal squeak inside the housing. If so, contact the manufacturer. Still nothing? Refasten one side back to the peddle and try to make it work under pressure. Try the other side. Squeak has got to be somewhere. If you find where it squeaks make sure all washers and parts are where they supposed to be. First though, try making sure all parts are tight. A loose part on the frame or peddle bolts could cause the squeak. Make sure the seat is tight. Good Luck......

The only squeak I ever hear is the rare noise from one of the metal bars that go across the bottom for support. Even then, it's rare and a muted sound. It's more like the bar "re-adjusts" with how it's slotted on the ends. By comparison to every other bed I've had with traditional frames, wooden headboards, etc. it doesn't make enough noise to cause concern. Even while doing the bone dance. Hope this helps!

It squeaks and clacks like any pack frame unless you quiet down the load. Tie things tight or use a rag or cover the parts that make noise.

I do not recommend this bed frame I bought it and really wish I hadn't claims squeak free but is not the case. Do some more searching that's what I'm doing.

I think there is something about the material that is slip proof - have used mine for a nearly three months and it has remained in position. I covered the entire bed with a mattress topper so that may have helped and I believe you can buy a 'belt / frame' type accessory that holds both mattresses if they are lighter and prone to slipping on the bed frame.

Does not squeak at all. We don't use a box spring at all. We only use an 11 inch thick gel memory mattress

It does not squeak at all. Solid but comfortable as I use an inflatable air mattress with it. I will be purchasing another.

No squeaking -- at all. Not from the frame, or from the support "springs." I use a 14" thick memory foam bed on this frame, and I weigh 260 lbs. The frame gets quite a workout, yet remains silent.

At first this bed didn't squeak. I have had it about 10 months and about a month ago it started squeaking when I roll over. Within a week the squeaking became noticeable with every movement. We've checked the screws and everything is tight.

No problem, I have been sitting on mine daily for several months, and never even a squeak! I was breaking regular seats every three months or so, especially the hinges, but not this one, doesn't budge. I still want to get another one for the upstairs bath, just saving my pennies. You will be satisfied, I'm sure.

Yes there is a squeak at the latch contact point. If you use double face tape and small strips of plastic sheets the problem is solved.

Hi. Mine is also new - used for the first time yesterday. It does NOT squeak or make a zipping sound. You should check it out. Good luck.

My son and daughter-in-law sleep on it when they visit so I usually keep it flat. When I have put it into a "couch" position, I have not noticed it squeaking at all but it does not get everyday use. It is quite sturdy I feel. Hope this helps.

Have you tried loosening the bolts and raising the brackets up from the bed frame? That's what I had to do. Sorry if I seem to remedial. Haven't heard of anything else. If that doesn't work try your local Lowe's or Home Depot.

Regardless it's a very squeaky bed. It's constantly rattling no matter how well you put it together. But the weight depends on the box spring you have. I'm using a piece of play wood under my mattress and my husband and I both sleep on it, sometimes with my daughter.
