Problem with this bed squeaking. Have suggestions? Cannot put a regular box spring on the frame because it is too high. Tried wood, card board, mats.

Yeah, our bed frame is rock solid. No movement, no squeaking. Has to be loose bolts.

The frame is only a little over a foot high, so if you use a box spring it won't make the bed too tall. However, the bed might become really firm. (Just my guess.)

I used a box spring for this. If you choose not to use a box spring, you would need to get something to support the mattress. Also, in my opinion, the headboard/footboard would look too high because the mattress would be so low. Hope this helps!

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.

The original box springs do NOT work well, you need a flat surface so there is not sagging - we removed the box springs, put in 2x4s and plywood and that works wonderfully well on the original frame

no but you can try getina a whole new frame but would suggest getting a different one had an ongoing issue with the wood slats on mine.

Our bed is 2 1/2 yrs old and there have been no problems. There is a drawer on each side of the platform of the full/queen, 19 3/16" x 29 7/8" x 4 3/16". You do not need a box spring. Some people have had problems with the mattress sliding. I put a couple of pieces of that stuff you use to keep rugs from sliding under the mattress. Works like a charm! I weigh 234 lbs, my husband is about 180 and we are restless sleepers. With the matching headboard (http://www.amazon.com/South-Shore-Step-Headboard-Black/dp/B00DSQ0VXE/ref=sr_1_114_m?s=home-garden&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1401252521&s;r=1-114) it looks great. I love my bed!

would likw to know this also, I put it on top of my mattress, it makes the bed very high, but is extremely comfortable. I have no box spring, just the frame, as this is a craftmatic bed. Please let me know what you think as well.

Yes, same here! Quite frustrating! Had to buy a new bed all together because my husband was annoyed with the noises & lack of quality of this one.

Love the bed, but hated the frame. I ended up bending the frame by pulling the footboard (bottom) in while sitting on the mattress. The only other solution was buying another frame, which I decided against. It looks fine once it is made up and I hardly notice that it (frame) was too long on one side. Still love the bed and get compliments on it every time I show the loft where it is being used. Thanks, rcaldwellgarrick@gmail.com

Ours does not squeak. Someone sleeps on the lower bed every night and it is very sturdy. We love the bed! Be cautious to put it together exactly as the directions say. It's definitely a job for 2 people.

Bed is great. The only problem is the two pieces of particle board that they use for the main support. We just found out during the week that it is starting to break so now over the weekend we have to go switch out the particle board for real wood. Other than that we haven't had any problems with the bed. Its not like its a metal or normal frame that moves, so you don't get any noises from it. Drawers pull out without any problems and noises as well.

My frame squeaks because it is on hardwood flooring. I think it may have that "springy" sound if only on carpet. Honestly it's not bad at all. I sleep just fine on it. :)

You bed boards. I bought some and Im nit using them decided to stay with my box spring. I can sell you the boards they are still in the box. I also love the bed

No this bed does not squeak at all. Sometimes I catch my 5 year old jumpimg in the bed and still no squeaking. Hope this helps.

Yes, mine makes all kinds of noise. If you read my review, you'll see how I rectified some of it, but it still slides around in my bedframe making wood on wood noises even just getting into or out of bed but especially during "activities". I still have to rectify that. It happens I think because the bottom is open and not covered like a traditional foundation, the foundation is rubbing on the cross supports of my wooden frame.

It may help some but I think the noise has more to do with the box spring and bed frame. It will make the bed more comfortable.
