Default How to stop squeaky furniture

Another question is: Could it be not from the mortise not being deep
enough but from the hardware being pulled, bent, and otherwise
misshapen and stretched? He did rearrange his bedroom all by himself a
few months back and it has been almost unbearable since then. I am
sure he tugged and pulled at the entire bed all at once: headrest,
footrest, side rails, the three LARGE drawers underneath it as well as
the plywood top and the mattress. That could explain the hooks not
fitting tightly...


Or maybe the floor is uneven and the new spot is allowing the frame to
rock more? Maybe some strategically placed shims would take care of
it. I would get the sheets off it and have him move around on it to
really try to isolate exactly what is squeaking.
