Got many questions about what this material is. It's a felt pad. Here is a link to amazon where you can choose it in any colour to match amzn.to/2D4ja22 Just make sure that it is not too thick as you have to squeeze it in a very tight space between the wood pieces. Also make sure you have a big piece that you can cut to the right size. If you already have the small round ones, try lining them up along the space you want to cover. This should help while you are waiting on the bigger piece you can cut to size.
@@neoyaku DOn't know I I missed your question. Once you dismantle the joint you stick the felt pad to one of the wood surface and then reattach the joints. If the felt pad is too think you may not be able to reconnect the joints. Ideal felt pad thickness will be 1-4mm max.
Just if anyone is wondering, this does legitimately work. I added some extra weather stripping along the length of the frame for extra padding and it’s completely silent now. Not even vigorous activity gets noisy now.
I didn’t have to take the entire bed apart for this, but I removed the mattress, box spring and the center slats so that I could lay down enough of the foam weather stripping along the frame.
I bought some felt strips at Canadian Tire and put them as you suggested. Thank you so so freaking much!! It had been squeaking so much to the point that I decided to sleep on the floor. It now is so Quiet!! I really appreciate this video!!!
My bed frame was doing the same thing. I was about to disarm it and buy a new one. With your video and idea I took a piece of paper folded it up and slid it between the two wood pieces that rub against each other. The noise immediately stopped. I thank you sir.
I saw a video where someone cut up a thin plastic foldable chopping/cutting board. Maybe you could use a plastic tub from prewashed salads/lettuces? Or whatever thin plastic that people throw away.
Same here, my bed is making so much squeaky. Do to moving process and a movers keeps changing my bolts and foot stands. Curious, what is the brand piece did you use to stop the squeakiness?
Heads up. Bolts done up too tight makes the noise. Just wind the bolts out 1 turn or so. Home assembled furniture is v. low manufacturing tolerance so things are meant to move fractionally. Tightening up the bolts too much adds more force so more friction, meaning more noise.
I work on aircraft and on the plane we don’t tighten bolts fully purely because when the bolts are too tight it produces more stress on that joint. This is exactly the same problem you are talking about
Thank you so much dude! I was about to give up on my bedframe and buy a new one, but this simple solution solved the problem. My bed is completely silent now!
the squeaking is prob the joints coming loose,get an antigue bedframe,& you wont have any spueaks,cos a baby elephant could lay on an antique bed & it still wouldn,t break or squeak
Yes Neila, you have to dismantle the exact location where you have the squeak(s) and insert this felt pad inbetween the joints. You can check on amazon or at your local hardware shop. I found mine in a home furniture chain called jysk. If you have jysk near you then surely you'll find this product. If you dont find the big piece, then just line up the small ones tightly along filling up the space. That might work well.
*Most bed squeaks come from the boxspring. Easiest way to stop the noise is to flip the box spring over and pull off the fabric cover underneath that's stapled on. Then remove all of the cardboard you see between the wood, I don't even know why they call it a "box spring" since it's only a wood frame with no springs. Flip the box frame back over and enjoy your new quiet bed. You're welcome.*
Do NOT do this. The cardboard helps to distribute weight evenly and to keep the wood frame rigid. Depending on what your boxspring is sitting on, wood slats/the floor,..it will start to wobble and break as weight is placed unevenly on it. A better bet if the cardboard is noisy is to glue the underside of the cardboard to the wood frame it sits on so sections of it move at all with pressure. You may use an entire bottle of wood glue for this but it's totally worth it.
@@Beenthere2xs *That is total B.S. I've been sleeping on my bed for over a year now with no problems, bed is still silent and quieter than it was when I bought it new and there have been no stability issues. My 6 and 7 year old kids even sleep in my bed with me sometimes also We're talking around 500 lbs with all 3 of us and the bed has had no stability issues even with this much weight, nor does it make any noise. Every other person who's removed the cardboard from their boxspring has had no issue either so keep sleeping on that noisy boxspring all you want, mine is silent no matter how hard I move on it.*
@@bigtexas7580 glad yours worked out for you. Obviously you don't know everyone who's ever removed the cardboard to say nobody's had a problem. You didnt. Good for you. However it doesn't make sense to call my solution total BS. If you glue the cardboard as I suggested and the squeaks stop great. If not then you can rip it out as you suggested. But if you go your route and rip it out at first and then your boxspring loses stability you can't put the cardboard back in again. So it makes sense to try my solution first and not leap to yours, just in case.
@@johnsmith-wx5fb and lostintime86 For metal frames you may need thick lubricating grease on the joints and bolts. Bolts have a metal to metal contact and if loose, will squeak. Try lubricating all bolts and joints. You have to isolate the exact location where the squeak is coming from, if that location is flat then try the felt pad trick I show in the video.

DiyRoby what kind of tool did you use to get the material in between the tight space?

I don’t even have sex. I just don’t want my parents knowing I’m getting snacks In the middle of the night bruh 😎
Careful with those midnight snacks bruh...
Neither do I lmao I just wake myself up when my bed squeaks at night
Just if anyone is wondering, this does legitimately work. I added some extra weather stripping along the length of the frame for extra padding and it’s completely silent now. Not even vigorous activity gets noisy now.
But i have to disassemble the whole bed in order to do this right? Isn't there a quick fix?

Not a “quick fix”, but it only took me about 20 minutes and made a world of difference.
@@VirginiaTombstoneRevival vigorous activity huh? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Lightning lantern 😂

My kids will never know now!
Yeah, I know. Before this fix, I couldn't escape the bed early in the mornings or come in late at night without huge risks :)
DiyRoby that’s not what he meant lol😂
Yup yup...YUP YUP!
DiyRoby I AM SCREAMING AT THIS🤣🤣🤣
ahahahahahahaha I finally get it, after almost a year.....
Perfect wow. From massive noise to quiet in 4 lil pieces. Thank u

Nice work! The paper will wear away, so try to get your hands on a felt pad slim enough to replace it. This mod gives years of silence for cents.
I saw a video where someone cut up a thin plastic foldable chopping/cutting board. Maybe you could use a plastic tub from prewashed salads/lettuces? Or whatever thin plastic that people throw away.
My bed was so squeaky. I added these and now silence!! Thanks for the tip.
Rachel Swanson what did you use

Beautiful it worked. It was definitely the stress that was making it squeak. Wish I had done this earlier
U saved my life, solved my 2 year problem, thank you!
We just did this for our verrrry squeaky bed. It's really worth the effort at it works brilliantly!
Thank you so much dude! I was about to give up on my bedframe and buy a new one, but this simple solution solved the problem. My bed is completely silent now!
Glad I could help!
Just purchased a new box spring, thinking that would stop the squeak but it didn’t. So now we will try this method.
Great video. The people needed this.
Dang I don’t know what anyone would need this fo🤔😏😂😂
ehmmm like, have a good sleep will be one :)
DiyRoby mhhhmmm and nothing more 😂😂😂🤫
@@diyroby732 or... something private ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
To not have a loud ass bed.
bc it's annoying
TY!!!!!! I was considering a lot of more work
"The squeeks are actually coming from my tripod" 😂 that's what she said!!
??
Wow...easy fix for my airbnb !
bye bye bad feedback/reviews :)
Thank you!! My problem is solved.
All I gotta do more is cover her mouth 😉😂 hahaha. Thank for the tip brother.
... and you take it easy as well. Ok bro :)
Thanks! Great tips ! ☺️☺️☺️
Does this work for metal bed frames. My kids have a metal bunk bed and it’s barely been a yr since we bought it. & it squeaks a lot
Wd 40 should do the trick for metal frames.
Merci tues un genie !!
SM needs these
You know if you know
Great advice ..Thank you
Will this work on my desk?
Thanks.
the squeaking is prob the joints coming loose,get an antigue bedframe,& you wont have any spueaks,cos a baby elephant could lay on an antique bed & it still wouldn,t break or squeak
thanx for the tip bro.. I hope this works
Very helpful, thank you
thx
Wow thank you!
Please mention what paper it is clearly where can I buy it pls tell r else give the link of that below
It is called a felt pad, or furniture feet pad. It's what you put under the feet of your tables and chairs to prevent them from damaging your floors
@@diyroby732 oh thank you sooo much 😊
I will try it. Thank you :)
Awesome! I'm trying it!
I tried it, and it worked!!! Easy fix!
Great!!! I really appreciate you coming back to update us Va P.
What is the padding called? Not sure what to search up haha
It's called a felt pad.
Thank you for saving our nights
thanks mate great tip!!
Do you have to take the joints apart before (disassemble the bed) putting in the felt pads? Where can I get the bigger piece?
Yes Neila, you have to dismantle the exact location where you have the squeak(s) and insert this felt pad inbetween the joints. You can check on amazon or at your local hardware shop.

Looks for this trick. 😊
Great idea!
Or you can use the old bicycle tire top
Thank you!
Thanks greatly!!!!
