Why do my front springs squeak?

Why does my bed squeak when I move?
Loose joints are a common cause of a squeaky bed. Check all the bolts on your bed frame to see if they might be the source of your problem. If you cannot manage to tighten a bolt securely, add a washer between the frame and the bolt to ensure a snug (and noise-free) fit.
How do I stop my bed from squeaking?
If the noise persists, here are a few other things to try:
- Place furniture pads to the legs of the bed frame, to reduce noise between the frame and the floor.
- Reduce wobbliness by ensuring your bed is even with the floor.
- If the bed frame has wheels, use caster cups to reduce movement and noise.
How do I stop my bed slats from squeaking?

How do I stop my bed frame from squeaking?
Apply WD-40 spray or a similar silicone lubricant to the joints where the frame parts connect.

If you don’t have silicone lubricants, try applying candle wax, paraffin, or beeswax to the joints.
Why does my mattress squeak when I move?
