Divan bed castors

wait4me

Got new laminate floors upstairs. I took off the castors (and threw them away :rolleyes::rolleyes:) when we put the bed into the old carpeted room. Now I need to reinstate the bed with its castors. Anybody know where I would find 8 of these and if buying what do I ask for? AFAIK its just the castors I need; the retainer tubes are already on the bed. Thanks

You can buy castors to fit in the tubes (google castors for bed) but there are various different sizes and afaik slightly different styles, so you would need to know what you are looking for. You could just purchase castors with a flat plate on top that you screw to the frame. I have done this but you may have to pull back the black plastic fabric and glue/screw a piece of timber to the frame to give yourself a wide enough surface to screw the castor onto.

Thanks - I might go into Bargaintown and see would they have some. The bed bases came from there originally (I think)

Take a pic on your phone of the fitting under the bed that you want the new castor to fit into, that'll make it easier to find the correct one.
DIY stores should have castors, I know the smaller ones do such as Homestyle DIY in Mary St. in Dublin, and Lenehans, Capel Street.

You could screw rubber door stops to the underside of the bed.

Casters are a bags on a wooden floor unless you like the bed to move from one end of the room to the other if say you were moving around in the bed like.
