Is there a way to stop the creaking noise from my bed without having to get a new mattress?

Question

The creaking noise usually comes from wood pieces rubbing together. There are two likely causes that are pretty easy to fix:
1. The headboard and footboard are usually connected to the sideboards with screws. Make sure the screws are tight and the metal fingers from the sideboard are all the way firmly into the head/foot board.
2. Make sure the slats that support the mattress (and box springs if you have them) are not rubbing against the sideboards. Some are screwed in place, others are just held in place by the weight of the mattress. If you find one that's making nose, try loving it an inch or two from where you find it.
3. If you find any squeaks, indicating things rubbings together, take a bar of soap and rub it between the rubbing parts, giving them a lubricant.

use pledge Oil in a spray bottle , sold at all retail stores. it is used to restore wood floors quickly small bottle 5.00 or so if your bed has wood. oil with little lubricant oil if you have it for like creeky door hinges on metal on the bed if any. be sure all is tight. can flip mattress. can put foot pads on bottoms of legs the beds not yours. yours just try hold in the air not on the bed when you get going and try not to shake the bed as much as you shake that tail. dont have bed against wall so when it gets real good and your climaxing you dont bang the wall. now i am thinking about that and nothing else. ha ha damn i like that lol

It depends… if you have a wooden bed frame, the creaking may not be the mattress at all, it could be the frame of the bed.

If you have a metal frame, spray WD40 or PB Blaster on all points where metal touches metal and then make sure to tighten down all the nuts and bolts and screws. If it is a wooden frame or composite, spray all contact points with dry silicone spray.

That's usually in the bed frame all the joints that are together they're probably dirt or dust in them use a little bit of penetrating oil are welded together or it could be on the floor as the frame moves but yes there's all different types of ways to fix that

It’s not the mattress? It’s bed frame likely. Both my mahogany one and an IKEA squeaked when “getting busy”. The IKEA… think they could hear 👂 it on the street…

Don't know if it's your mattress, maybe the bed frame?

@Arwen06 there's actually a couple almost guaranteed ways to fix that, ratting ass squeaking bed. The best option, and it's only best if you will only have sex indoors, use the floor lol. Everyone has an air mattress, a sleeping bag, or a pile of something to pad the floor if it's too rough for you. Or plan B, which is my fav fr, get outside, get naked and feel the wind on your skin, and when it's raining omg, but yes the barn, beside the creek, on a rooftop, anywhere outside is good, as long as your neighbors aren't close, or if you're not even concerned with that then use the porch lol. But yes no more pesky loud ass squeaking bed.

Is it your mattress or the base?

Get a foam mattress topper, and a fitted sheet over it.  It will make the mattress more firm to compensate, though.  Else just get a futon and have sex on the floor instead.

Yeah don't bounce on it.

Spray WD40 into every connecting joint.

TheMajesticKing777 · Answer

The mattress isn't what squeaks, if I believe you need a new bed not mattress

It may not be the mattress, but the frame.

Have you tried flipping the mattress?

kellytheman · Answer

Maybe put some blankets or pillows between the box spring and mattress or put the mattress on the floor. Usually it the box spring or frame that makes the creaking noise not the mattress.
