How To Fix Squeaky Bed Springs


This article brings you some useful tips on how to repair squeaky bed springs. How to repair squeaky bed springs:

1. You need to check your mattresses and box springs. If you are able to feel the spring through the mattress, it indicates that you need to replace it right now.

2. If your mattresses are lopsided, they may be account for squeaky bed springs. Check the placement of your mattress. It should be directly centered over the box spring. Over time, the mattress may dislocate and may be the cause of the midnight squeaks. If this is the problem, fix it at the earliest.

3. Check to figure out whether the frame of your bed is proper or not. There may be some screws and bolts missing therein, causing the squeak. The bed frame will squeak even if the nuts and bolts have loosened. Remove the screws of your bed one at a time and rub them with a dry soap. This will help with the squeaks, by filling the creases of the screws. To prevent the metal bolts and screws from rubbing against the metal bed frame, add plastic washers in between the pieces. Keep replacing each bolt before you take another one out.

4. Lubricating the springs can also help you with the squeaks. Spray some cooking oil on the springs. If you can identify the particular spring that is causing the squeak, you can spray the oil on that one only. If you can't, spray it on all the springs. You will need to re-lubricate the springs whenever the lubricant wears off.

5. Do check whether the legs supporting the bed are properly secured and accurately centered or not. If the legs of your bed are crooked, even a small movement on the bed will cause squeaks.

6. If nothing is working, you can change your bed springs as the last resort, by removing the fabric of your mattress from the bottom.
