    Have a pretty newish wooden bedframe which wasnt cheap but recently after a house move we re assembled the bed and its quite squeaky and keeping me awake when i toss and turn. It was never like this before and wanted to try fix it before i look into buying a new bedframe. Its the side panelling thats the problem with the long bolts, i took it apart again and put in washers (as someone mentioned might work online) and tightened it all up but no luck.:)

    Any tips lol...

    Rubber matting type material and tighten, get some more brackets and screw in or even some silicone along joins and tighten.....

    I had this before in my case the bed was assembled with the side rails switched around, the fixtures seat in over time so they whole bed wobbled and squeaked until i pulled it apart and matched up the hardware on each end to get it back to the way it was assembled. Didn't take long and improved things a lot.
